P.01Most teams treat their CI pipeline as a black box that occasionally fails. A few hours of optimization can cut your CI time by 40-60% and your GitHub Actions bill by a similar margin. Here's exactly how to do it.
P.02HashiCorp moved Terraform to a Business Source License in August 2023. OpenTofu forked it under the MPL. Pulumi took a different path entirely. Two and a half years on, the dust has settled enough to make a clear-headed choice.
P.03In March 2024, Redis Ltd. relicensed Redis under a source-available license. Within weeks, the Linux Foundation forked it as Valkey. Two years on, here's how the split played out and what it means for teams choosing an in-memory data store today.
P.04LLM calls are slow and expensive. Caching them is the obvious move. But caching the wrong responses breaks the user experience in ways that are subtle and hard to debug. Here's a practical guide to doing it right.
P.05ALTER TABLE locks your database. Your migration takes longer than expected. Users get errors. Here's how to handle schema changes that don't interrupt production traffic.
P.06Traditional monitoring tells you a request took 800ms. It doesn't tell you the LLM spent 600ms on a bad prompt, returned a hallucinated answer, and burned $0.04 in tokens. Here's how to actually instrument AI applications with OpenTelemetry.
P.07Explore the financial impact of the AI storage tax and the sharp rise in NAND and RAM costs, affecting enterprise IT budgets and cloud infrastructure strategies.
P.08Explore the shift towards serverless edge computing in the post-cloud era, focusing on performance improvements, cost savings, and real-world case studies of enterprises leveraging this technology.
P.09Analyzing the February 2026 Cloudflare edge network outage: cascading failures, bypassed canary deployments, R2 and Workers impact. Real architecture lessons for building resilient distributed systems.
P.10Data-driven analysis of platform engineering adoption in 2026. Compare Backstage, Port, and Cortex IDPs, golden paths, self-service infrastructure, and how to measure platform success with DORA metrics.
P.11Learn how to deploy WebAssembly applications on Kubernetes using SpinKube and containerd-wasm-shim. Step-by-step tutorial covering cluster setup, Spin app deployment, monitoring, and production readiness.
P.12EditorPickEveryone said WebAssembly would kill Docker. Two years later, they coexist — and the teams using both are shipping faster. A reality check on Wasm, containers, and the containerd shim approach.
P.13Everyone says go cloud-native. But what does that actually mean in 2026? We break down microservices, serverless, and containers — and why most teams should start simpler than they think.
P.14We benchmarked Supabase Edge Functions, Vercel Serverless, and Fly.io containers head-to-head. Here are the real cold start times, throughput, and costs.
P.15AWS and Google Cloud announced cross-cloud interconnect integration with encrypted-by-default networking. After years of vendor lock-in wars, competitors are collaborating. We break down what it means and what it does not.
P.16GitOps adoption hit 64% in 2025, and the next evolution is integrating real-time cost visibility into every infrastructure pull request. We break down why GitOps plus FinOps is the operational model serious teams are adopting in 2026.
