Kafka is fast -- I'll use Postgres

Postgres is pulling Kafka moves—without the Kafka. On a humble 3-node cluster, it held 5MB/s ingest and 25MB/s egress like a champ. Low latency. Rock-solid durability. Crank things up, andsingle-node Postgresflexed hard: 240 MiB/s in, 1.16 GiB/s out for pub/sub. Thousands of messages per second in q.. read more

How Netflix Tudum Supports 20 Million Users With CQRS

Netflix gutted Tudum’s old read path—Kafka, Cassandra, layers of cache—and swapped inRAW Hollow, a compressed, distributed, in-memory object store baked right into each microservice. Result? Homepage renders dropped from 1.4s to 0.4s. Editors get near-instant previews. No more read caches. No extern.. read more

Aggressive bots ruined my weekend

Bear Blog went dark after getting swarmed by scrapers. The reverse proxy choked first - too many requests, not enough heads-up. Downstream defenses didn’t catch it in time. So: fire, meet upgrades. What changed: Proxies scaled 5×. Upstream got strict with rate limits. Failover now has a pulse. Resta.. read more

A sneaky bug inPyTorch’s MPS backendlet non-contiguous tensors silently ignore in-place ops likeaddcmul_. That’s optimizer-breaking stuff. The culprit?

eBPF Beginner Skill Path
k3d is an open-source utility designed to simplify running Kubernetes locally by wrapping K3s (Rancher’s lightweight Kubernetes distribution) inside Docker containers. Instead of creating virtual machines, k3d uses Docker as the execution layer, allowing developers to spin up multi-node Kubernetes clusters in seconds using minimal system resources.

k3d is especially popular for local development, CI pipelines, demos, and testing Kubernetes-native applications. It supports advanced setups such as multi-node clusters, load balancers, custom container registries, port mappings, and volume mounts, while remaining easy to tear down and recreate.

Because it uses K3s, k3d inherits a simplified control plane, bundled components, and reduced memory footprint compared to full Kubernetes distributions. This makes it ideal for developers who want a realistic Kubernetes environment without the overhead of tools like Minikube or full VM-based clusters.

k3d integrates cleanly with common Kubernetes workflows and tools such as kubectl, Helm, Skaffold, and Argo CD. It is frequently used to validate manifests, test Helm charts, and simulate production-like environments locally before deploying to cloud or on-prem clusters.
