Writing Load Balancer From Scratch In 250 Line of Code
Hey, everyone. It's another weekend, and I was exploring what to build. So I decided to build a simple yet completely functional load balancer. Let's discuss it in this post.
Techniques for handling failure scenarios in microservice architectures
This article explores the strategies for managing failure scenarios in microservice architectures. It covers techniques to address both technical glitches and business impacts. You will learn how organizations can build fault-tolerant systems that are capable of gracefully handling cascading failures while maintaining core functionalities, even in a degraded state.

This page describes the lifecycle of a Pod. Pods follow a defined lifecycle, starting in the Pending phase, moving through Running if at least one of its primary containers starts OK, and then through either the Succeeded or Failed phases depending on whether any container in the Pod terminated in failure.
Like individual application containers, Pods are considered to be relatively ephemeral (rather than durable) entities. Pods are created, assigned a unique ID (UID), and scheduled to run on nodes where they remain until termination (according to restart policy) or deletion.
SkyPilot uses the venerable SQLite for state management. SQLite can handle millions of QPS, and terabytes of data. However, our efforts to scale our Managed Jobs feature ran up against the one downfall of SQLite: many concurrent writers. Since SkyPilot typically runs as a CLI on your laptop, we wanted to stick with SQLite, so we decided to figure out how we can make it work. We were very surprised with some of our findings.
#43 Oops, I Deployed It Again: Learning from Our Continuous Deployment Fails
While we have managed to make our deployments successful most of the time, there is still that little percentage where human nature kicks in. Learn about the most common mistakes we encountered.
This talk illustrates the hype behind WebAssembly and why it may be the future of the Cloud. Talk includes: * What Wasm is, how it works and why its suited for Serverless - How one can get started with Wasm using open source frameworks * Live Demo
ATProto for distributed systems engineers - AT Protocol
AT Protocol is the tech developed at Bluesky for open social networking. In this article we're going to explore AT Proto from the perspective of distributed backend engineering.
Comparing the outbox pattern to alternatives like “listen-to-yourself” and 2-phase commit (2PC) transactions. What’s the best choice for data exchange flows between microservices?
How We Saved 10s of Thousands of Dollars Deploying Low Cost Open Source AI Technologies At Scale with Kubernetes
Scaling up generative AI operations can be costly. At OpenSauced, we faced this challenge while building StarSearch, until we found a low cost solution to deploy an OpenAI-compatible API using open source technology.
