Monitoring reliably at scale

Designing monitoring that works when everything else doesn’t.By: Abdurrahman J. AllawalaIntroductionWhen an incident hits, teams lean on observability to answer the only questions that matter: what’s broken, and why? Monitoring systems are designed to help you answer these questions, and they usually do.But what happens when your observability stack is dependent on the same systems that are failing? In that moment, the dashboards go dark, alerts stop firing, and the tools meant to guid...

Bliki: Mythical Man Month

In the early 1960s, Fred Brooks managed the development of IBM's System/360 computer systems. After it was done he penned his thoughts in the book The Mythical Man-Month which became one of the most influential books on software development after its publication in 1975. Reading it in 2026, we'll find some of it outdated, but it also retains many lessons that are still relevant today. The book contains Brooks's law: “Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later.” T...

Fragments: May 5

Over the last couple of months Rahul Garg published a series of posts here on how to reduce the friction in AI-assisted programming. To make it easier to put these ideas into practice he’s now built an open-source framework to operationalize these patterns. AI coding assistants jump straight to code, silently make design decisions, forget constraints mid-conversation, and produce output nobody reviewed against real engineering standards. Lattice fixes this with composable skills in thre...

Tomas Vondra: How are committers selected?

At a couple recent conferences, I got to describe the process Postgres uses to select new committers/maintainers. Usually to users and developers using Postgres, but in some cases it was unclear even to experienced Postgres contributors. The official docs are rather brief, and don’t explain various important details. Let me explain how I understand the informal process, who’s responsible for what etc. This post is not meant to give you advice on how to become a committer, that’s a far m...
