Agentic Engineering in Practice: Governing AI-Generated Code at Scale
What agentic engineering actually means beyond the hype, and the governance layer humans must own when AI agents generate most of your production code.
Building an Internal AI Assistant: RAG Over Private Documents with Access Control and Audit Trails
How to build a production internal AI assistant that answers questions over private company documents while enforcing per-user access control, maintaining compliance audit trails, and handling document lifecycle without leaking information across permission boundaries.
Deploying Open-Source LLMs in Production: Model Serving, Quantization, and Infrastructure Choices
A practical guide to running Llama, Mistral, and Qwen in production. Covers model serving frameworks (vLLM, TGI, Ollama), quantization tradeoffs (GPTQ, AWQ, GGUF), GPU provisioning, batching strategies, load balancing, and when self-hosting beats managed API providers.
Incident Management for Small Teams: Runbooks, Postmortems, and Escalation That Actually Works
Most incident management guides assume a dedicated SRE team. This one is for 2-10 person engineering teams. Severity classification, runbooks people actually use, postmortems that produce improvements, and tooling that doesn't break the budget.
Kubernetes vs Serverless in 2026: A Decision Framework for Startup Infrastructure
A concrete comparison of Kubernetes and serverless for startup infrastructure in 2026. Covers cost at 1K, 10K, and 100K MAU, operational overhead, cold starts, local development, observability, and a decision matrix by team size and workload type.
Structured Logging in TypeScript: From Console.log to Production Observability
console.log fails at scale in ways you will not notice until you are debugging a production incident. This covers structured logging fundamentals, library tradeoffs, log pipeline architecture, OpenTelemetry integration, cost-effective storage options, and a complete Hono middleware implementation.
Series A Technical Due Diligence: What Investors Actually Look For in Your Architecture
Series A investors formally evaluate your technical architecture before leading a round. Founders who arrive without credible documentation fail diligence or negotiate lower valuations. Here is exactly what they look for and how to prepare.
Technical Co-Founder vs Fractional CTO: A Decision Framework for Non-Technical Founders
A practical decision framework for non-technical founders choosing between a technical co-founder and a fractional CTO. Real tradeoffs on equity, commitment, and stage-fit — not theory.
Writing RFCs That Drive Alignment: A Practical Template for Engineering Teams
Most internal engineering docs fail because they are too long, written after the decision, or have no clear ask. This guide covers a practical RFC template, the full RFC lifecycle, and how to run the process without design-by-committee.
Designing a Content Delivery Network: Edge Caching, Cache Invalidation, and Origin Shield Patterns
How CDNs work under the hood: edge caching strategies (TTL, stale-while-revalidate, cache keys), cache invalidation patterns (purge, tag-based, surrogate keys), origin shield as an intermediate cache tier, consistent hashing for cache distribution, and TypeScript examples for custom cache logic with Cloudflare Workers.
Designing a Multi-Region Architecture: Active-Active, Active-Passive, and Data Sovereignty Tradeoffs
A senior engineer's guide to multi-region architecture covering active-passive vs active-active patterns, synchronous and asynchronous replication, conflict resolution for concurrent writes, GDPR data sovereignty, DNS-based routing, and the real operational cost of going global.
Designing an Audit Log System: Immutable Events, Efficient Querying, and Compliance at Scale
Audit logs are a production requirement that most teams design too late. This guide covers append-only event storage, schema design for audit events, time-range and entity queries, retention policies, tamper-evidence, and what SOC 2 and HIPAA actually require from your audit trail.
