PostgreSQL's Embedded Wasm Runtimes: A Return to Monoliths or the Ultimate Performance Hack?
We examine the architectural trade-offs of embedding WebAssembly (Wasm) runtimes directly inside PostgreSQL, analyzing data locality, security models, and production pitfalls.
The Wasm Component Model is the Serverless Kernel We Deserve (And Why It Eliminates OS APIs by 2027)
Containers boxed the OS problem; Wasm Components eliminate it. We dissect why capability-based security, Interface Types, and decoupled I/O will supplant traditional POSIX interfaces for application distribution within 5 years.
The N+1 Tax is Due: Decoupling Service Meshes with eBPF and Ending the Kubernetes Sidecar Era
The sidecar model imposes a non-trivial N+1 resource tax and latency overhead on every microservice. eBPF moves the data plane back to the kernel, offering a true path to decoupling and optimization.
Beyond Sanitization: A Web Developer's Guide to Offensive Security Thinking
Beyond Sanitization: A Web Developer's Guide to Offensive Security Thinking
Stop waiting for the security team. Learn the offensive mindset: fuzzing authentication, understanding payload polymorphism, and exploiting logical flaws (BOLA/IDOR) in distributed systems. Technical deep dive for senior developers.
Remote Work is a Latency Problem: Architectural Best Practices for Distributed Development Teams
Treating async communication like distributed systems design. Deep dive into minimizing decision latency, optimizing documentation as an API, and productionizing remote collaboration.
The Ethical Cost of Code Generation: Navigating AI in Production
AI code generation tools drastically boost efficiency, but their use in production introduces complex ethical and legal risks, including IP contamination, security liabilities, and the creation of hard-to-maintain "ethical debt." This post provides technical guidance on managing these challenges.
Rust for JavaScript Developers: A Gentle Introduction to Safety and Speed
Moving from dynamic JavaScript to compiled Rust doesn't have to be scary. This guide introduces ownership, borrowing, and the key concepts JS developers need to master the basics of high-performance systems programming.
