Policy-based control for cloud native environments

Rönd is a lightweight container that distributes security policy enforcement throughout your application.

Arista’s new network observability software aims to reduce human error, accelerate problem resolution, and streamline root cause analysis of network events and their impact on application performance.

After coming up against the limits of physics, scientists are rethinking chip architecture like never before

We’re building an open source alternative to AWS. For IPv4 assignment and firewall rules, we use Linux’s Netfilter / Nftables. This subsystem provides a powerful way to handle packets addressed to the host. We recently came across flowtables - a network acceleration feature in the Linux kernel that works like a routing cache. When we introduced flowtables into our stack, it reduced network latencies by 7.5%.

This post covers infrastructure improvement ideas for an existing AI application's architecture for better delivery, performance, and cost-reduction.

Back in 2020, I created Cubiml, a simple ML-like language that demonstrated how to extend the usual Hindley–Milner type system with subtyping while still having decidable full type inference. One question I got was whether it would be possible to support generalized algebraic data types (GADTs) in Cubiml. I had heard that GADTs break type inference and didn’t see the point, so I didn’t think much of it at the time.

Suppose you want to build a predictive text engine. Given a few letters, you want to predict the end of a word. Suppose we have the string

Scott reverse-engineered the encrypted protocol GoodWe smart meters and solar inverters use to send metrics to the cloud. The result of my lucky dip was a GoodWe DNS G3 Inverter and a GoodWe HomeKi…

Tigris is a globally distributed S3-compatible object storage service that provides low latency anywhere in the world, enabling developers to store and access any amount of data for a wide range of use cases.

Back in 2015, when we were launching The Next Platform, a lot of stuff was going on all at the same time, which is part of the zeitgeist that we were

With push protection now enabled by default, GitHub helps open source developers safeguard their secrets, and their reputations.

Conditionals attract bugs

In the Introduction To Database Indexing Article, We discussed database indexes, Their type, representations, and use cases.

Researchers disclosed multiple potential vulnerabilities that may impact some AMD processors, including Zen-based product lines across multiple generations.

This post discusses how to create containers that are smaller and more secure by including Wolfi as the base image when creating containers using Cloud Native Buildpacks.

DoorDash builds an in-house search engine on top of Lucene to support growing search needs.

The columnar storage file format is designed for IoT’s unique needs, including reduced network transmission and cloud computing resources.

In the previous part we've talked about message brokers in general and I hope you got a brief understanding of how they work and why you'd need them. In this article, we're going to dive deeper and explore one of them - **RabbitMQ**.

Three years before making Minority Report, director Steven Spielberg assembled a supergroup of deep thinkers who conceptualized many of the movie's most enduring visions of the future. A virtual roundtable takes you back to that momentous event in the history of sci-fi filmmaking.

Part of the genius of Steven Spielberg’s Minority Report is the way the movie hides its dystopia beneath the comforting skin of the familiar.
