FoundationDB's Transaction Model for Layer Engineers How optimistic concurrency control works in FoundationDB, and how to design data structures that stop fighting it

💡 In #FoundationDB, your reads determine whether YOU conflict. Your writes determine what OTHERS conflict with.

✍️ Wrote about OCC patterns for layer engineers: phantom conflicts, snapshot reads, atomic ops, and versionstamps.

2025: A Year in Review Reflections on returning to engineering, discovering simulation as a superpower, learning to work with LLMs, and the compounding value of years of distributed systems work.

🎄 Before heading to holidays, I wrote my 2025 year in review.

✍️ Back to engineering after 2 years of management. Built moonpool, a #FoundationDB simulation framework in #rustlang. Published 20 posts. Learned to work with LLMs. A year of going deeper.

Designing Rust FDB Workloads That Actually Find Bugs Patterns and principles for writing Rust simulation workloads that catch bugs before production does.

🧪 How do you test #rustlang code that runs on top of #FoundationDB?

✍️ I wrote about designing simulation workloads: the patterns that find real bugs, the rules you can't break, and the pitfalls

Bypassing FoundationDB's Transaction Limits with Record Layer Continuations A technical deep-dive into FoundationDB Record Layer continuations, explaining how they enable long-running operations by segmenting work across multiple FDB transactions, effectively bypassing the…

👀 Ever wonder how services like #Apple's #CloudKit handle massive datasets on #FoundationDB despite its 5s transaction limits?

🔬 My new post dives into the FDB Record Layer's continuation mechanism

🚀 Had some fun hacking together a new TUI (with @ratatui_rs) to dig into the #FoundationDB #simulation framework!

It visualizes nemesis workloads like:
⚡ Attrition
🌐 Network Splits
⏳ Induced Latencies
