Web Performance Budgets in Practice: Core Web Vitals, Bundle Analysis, and Automated Regression Detection
A practical guide to setting meaningful web performance budgets based on Core Web Vitals, integrating bundle size analysis into CI/CD, and using Lighthouse CI for automated regression detection. Includes TypeScript examples for custom performance monitoring and real-user monitoring setup.
AI Agent Reliability Engineering: Retry Semantics, Fallback Chains, and Graceful Degradation for Production Agents
AI agents fail differently than traditional services. Learn how to apply retry semantics, provider fallback chains, circuit breakers, and graceful degradation patterns to build production-grade agent workflows in TypeScript.
ML Model Monitoring in Production: Data Drift Detection, Performance Degradation, and Automated Retraining Pipelines
A practical guide to detecting data drift, measuring silent model degradation, and building automated retraining pipelines that trigger on evidence rather than schedules.
Multimodal AI Pipelines in Production: Processing Images, Audio, and Documents in a Unified Architecture
How to build production multimodal AI pipelines that route images, audio, and documents through specialized models, fuse embeddings, and reason across modalities without collapsing under latency or cost pressure.
Container Security for Startups: Image Scanning, Runtime Policies, and Supply Chain Integrity
A practical guide to container security covering image hardening, vulnerability scanning in CI, runtime policies, supply chain integrity with cosign and SBOMs, and secrets management. Focused on what startups actually need versus enterprise theater.
eBPF for Production Observability: Deep System Tracing Without Code Changes
How eBPF enables kernel-level observability for HTTP tracing, TCP monitoring, DNS logging, and CPU profiling without modifying application code, plus when it is worth the operational complexity.
Supply Chain Security for Node.js: Lockfile Integrity, SBOM Generation, and Dependency Auditing in CI/CD
A practical guide to defending Node.js applications against supply chain attacks: lockfile integrity verification, SBOM generation with CycloneDX, automated dependency auditing, and GitHub Actions pipeline configs that actually catch problems before they ship.
Building an Engineering Career Ladder: Levels, Competencies, and Promotion Criteria That Scale
A practical guide to designing engineering career ladders for growing teams: IC and management tracks, competency axes, level expectations, calibration, promotion packets, and how the ladder evolves from 5 engineers to 50.
Technical Integration After Acquisition: Merging Engineering Teams, Codebases, and Infrastructure
A practical playbook for engineering leaders navigating technical integration after an acquisition: assessment frameworks, integration strategies, codebase patterns, team structure decisions, and a realistic 90-day timeline.
Technical Interviewing at Startups: Designing Assessments That Predict Job Performance Without Leetcode
Why Leetcode-style interviews fail startups, and how to build a hiring pipeline that actually predicts on-the-job performance using work samples, pair sessions, and calibrated rubrics.
Designing a Change Data Capture Pipeline: Log-Based CDC, Debezium, and Real-Time Data Synchronization
Polling-based sync breaks under load. Learn how log-based CDC works using PostgreSQL WAL and MySQL binlog, how Debezium fits into the architecture, and how to build a production-grade CDC pipeline with TypeScript consumers, schema evolution handling, and ordering guarantees.
Designing a Service Discovery System: Client-Side, Server-Side, and DNS-Based Patterns for Microservices
A deep dive into the three main service discovery patterns for microservices: client-side with a registry, server-side with a load balancer, and DNS-based. Covers health checking, consistency tradeoffs, and TypeScript implementations for health-aware routing.
