The Compiler-Driven Observability Blackout: Why LTO Kills Distributed Tracing in High-Performance Systems
Link-Time Optimization (LTO) and aggressive linker flags deliver peak performance but ruthlessly prune the function boundaries that distributed tracing (OpenTelemetry) relies on, creating untraceable 'black boxes' in high-throughput services. We explore the trade-offs and mandatory mitigations.
The Bun Monolith: Why Adopting a Single-Tool Runtime Stack Is the New DevOps Risk
Bun offers incredible speed, but consolidating the runtime, package manager, and bundler into a single Zig binary creates unforeseen dependency rigidity and production brittleness for large-scale systems.
The Performance Paradox: How Zero-Copy XDP Killed My Service Mesh Traceability
AF_XDP and zero-copy IPC offer incredible throughput, but they incur a hidden tax: bypassing kernel hooks essential for eBPF and service mesh observability. We lost our high-fidelity traces.
