Book cover of "Designing Data-Intensive Applications, 2nd edition". It has a similar wild boar on the cover as the first edition, but it uses O'Reilly's new cover design, and the boar is now slightly colourised.

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!)

Original post on mastodon.jepsen.io

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:

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

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.

A high volume, highly available cron pattern · Peakscale

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.

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

Inside the Courtroom
At his arraignment, Donald Trump was 20 feet from Jack Smith, the special counsel. But they exchanged not a word.

When this happened in Seattle, I felt very different after a few days. It was very noticeable. Even if you stay inside, smoke inhalation is terrible for you.

Serverless throttling: denial of wallet · Peakscale

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.
