Jepsen 0.3.14 is now available, including several new generators, a slew of bugfixes and performance improvements especially in generators, and some new features for the web interface. https://github.com/jepsen-io/jepsen/releases/tag/v0.3.14

Hey folks! otel-desktop-viewer 0.5.0 is out now and also the project just passed 1k stars on GitHub, so I figured I'd (re-)introduce it: ctrlspice.codes/rebuilding-o...

I rebuilt otel-desktop-viewer on top of DuckDB

and all I got was locally searchable traces, metrics, and logs.

I left Google and joined East River Source Control almost two months ago. Our redesigned website is now up, including a blog post about me joining: ersc.io/blog/martin-....

ah yes...I should also post about OUR book. the 2nd edition of "Observability Engineering" is now available for download.. and you can download it for free on the honeycomb site. this was supposed to be an update, and ended up being a total rewrite (& then some). 😅 www.honeycomb.io/blog/the-sec...

The Second Edition of Observability Engineering Is Here

IT’S HERE it’s here it’s here it’s here!!!! The second edition of Observability Engineering is available for download, and since Honeycomb is the sponsor, you can now download it from our website (th...

Both Cat and Charity are very much worth reading.

So many patterns I agree with. Worth the read!

Did you know #FoundationDB's simulator randomly swaps disks between machines on reboot? 75% of the time. On purpose. I wrote how this works: interface swapping, BUGGIFY chaos injection, and how we use it at @clever-cloud.com to build Materia. pierrezemb.fr/posts/diving...

I've shared ~800 Rust terminal projects over the last 3 years 🦀 I just published a blog post to highlight the Top 99! 🏆 ➡️ Read it here: blog.orhun.dev/800-rust-pro... #rustlang #ratatui #tui #blog #post #socialmedia

The second edition of Designing Data-Intensive Applications, by myself and @chris.blue, is finished and sent off to the printers! Ebooks should be available in the next week, and print books in 3–4 weeks. Sigh of relief. 😅 (BTW, this is a good opportunity to support your favourite local bookshop!)

Jepsen and Antithesis worked together to write a glossary for anyone building, testing, and operating distributed systems. It covers the basics of concurrency, consistency models and phenomena, faults, and some testing approaches: https://antithesis.com/resources/reliability_glossary/ […]

A new #Jepsen report! We tested early builds of Capela, an unreleased distributed programming environment, and found twenty-two issues, including four language problems, fourteen crashes or non-fatal panics, performance degradation, and three safety issues including lost update […]

I have lots of Thoughts about technology marketing (that led to a lot of the way Rust did things, and was borne out of… previous experiences) but the biggest one is: you gotta define yourself on your own terms rather than in opposition to something else

Nice: CloudFormation Hooks now support Lambda functions. aws.amazon.com/blogs/devops...

If you read ✨one post✨ this year about instrumentation, OTel, logs, tracing, or observability 2.0, make it this one. It's just that fucking good. It has code samples. It is also a great overview of your options in the o11y 2.0 space, incl vendors, OSS and hybrid. jeremymorrell.dev/blog/a-pract...

There have been some good posts on what "wide events" instrumentation is but not as many on how to go about it, what attributes you should add, or how to work with OpenTelemetry I put everything I've learned in the last few years into one guide jeremymorrell.dev/blog/a-pract...

I'm curious how other people are designing systems that do a lot of scheduling/monitoring work. What I landed on might be considered heavy handed? But I'm pretty happy with its development, testing, cost, and HA properties/tradeoffs. https://www.peakscale.com/external-cron/

yes I’ve stared into the abyss (contemplating zero caffeine)

the bsky team should start monitoring twitter's infra for outages, so they know when to scale up

Nothing exemplifies a complete failure to understand the point of science like demanding to settle a scientific issue through the medium of emotionally persuasive public shouting

I'm tired of explaining the difference in classified mishandling between Trump, Biden, Pence, and Clinton. So, I wrote it all down in this post, complete with footnotes. Now I hope to never speak on this again. https://infosec.exchange/@jschuh/110551298514321829

Why is this written like a fanfiction romance?

Reddit blackout is already starting. Subreddits are going private and 403s are coming in from RSS feeds:

My former team at Etsy is hiring! Work in Rust with Tantivy on a cloud-native retrieval system. This one is for a Sr Staff Eng, and I'm told a Sr Eng role is also coming up https://jobs.smartrecruiters.com/Etsy2/743999911916518-senior-staff-software-engineer-retrieval-systems

More options for the Twitter diaspora? :-/ "One of Meta’s top executives showed employees a preview of the company’s upcoming Twitter competitor [...] The new standalone app will be based on Instagram and integrate with ActivityPub, the decentralized social media protocol."

cool, was able to change my handle here to @timf.dev

Thinking about high call-rate services with purely serverless APIs, and tried to be realistic about the cost model. In my experience, there's a constant hum of throttles and authentication errors, and we should try to predict and model those if we can. Better: first class support from vendors.

"my communities have scattered" - seems to be a shared sentiment over the last year. It's depressing.

My most recent post is about one approach to "up front" work I encountered when using DynamoDB (beyond the typical denormalization).
