A personal engineering publication by an infrastructure engineer exploring online database systems, covering topics like latency budgets, Little's Law, S3 partitioning and multi-tenancy, and object storage protocols for transactional workloads. Readers get concrete, math-backed explanations of how production storage systems behave and why they are designed that way.

Long-form, hands-on engineering tutorials covering deployment, performance profiling and database search, with working code and demo repositories. Readers learn practical techniques such as zero-downtime Docker Compose deploys, profiling Python web apps, and Postgres full-text search.
Deep-dive debugging write-ups from a practitioner working with Nix, Elixir, Postgres and Unix internals. Each post walks through a concrete failure or performance problem, the investigation steps, and the underlying mechanics.
Technical essays that investigate claims about AI coding agents and orchestrators by running benchmarks and experiments. Readers get measured evidence on where LLM-generated code and agent workflows fail despite looking plausible.
