When "idle" isn't idle: how a Linux kernel optimization became a QUIC bug

We investigated a bug where CUBIC's congestion window became pinned at its minimum floor, causing a performance to plummet. The fix involved correctly measuring idle periods to distinguish RTT wait times from actual application idleness.

Quack: The DuckDB Client-Server Protocol

DuckDB instances can now talk to each other using the Quack remote protocol. This lets you run DuckDB in a client-server setup with multiple concurrent writers. In DuckDB's spirit, Quack is *simple* to set up and builds on proven technologies such as HTTP(S). It's also fast, which allows it to support workloads ranging from bulk operations to small transactions.

What is Code

Increasingly humans delegate writing code to agents. Will there even be source code in the future? To wrestle with this question, we have to understand what code is. Unmesh Joshi sees code as having two distinct but intertwined purposes: instructions to a machine and a conceptual model of the problem domain. He explores why it's vital to build a vocabulary to talk to the machine, how programming languages are thinking tools, and how this affects our future ...

Building hybrid multi-tenant architecture for stateful services on AWS

In this post, we show you how to build a hybrid multi-tenant architecture that provides strong tenant isolation without requiring per-tenant AWS accounts. You learn how to configure Route 53 weighted routing to distribute traffic across multiple accounts, deploy Application Load Balancer listener rules for tenant-specific routing, create dedicated ECS clusters per tenant, and establish AWS PrivateLink connectivity to shared dependencies.
