The best problem-solving writing in software engineering — databases, performance, security, frontend and distributed systems, in one feed.
Petal, the next step in Meta’s subsea innovation, will be the first subsea cable to deliver petabit capacity at transoceanic distances, connecting France and the United States over approximately 7,000 km (4,300 mi). Expected to enter service in 2029, it will be the first subsea cable system to deploy multi-core fiber technology at scale, doubling [...] Read More... The post Inside Petal: Building
The following are my notes on discrete-time Fourier series (DTFS), as well as the discrete-time Fourier transform (DTFT). These topics serve as an important theoretical underpinning to the digital processing of signals by computers using the DFT (which will be covered in a future post). For discrete-time signals, we use …
Cloudflare's global network is immense but not limitless. As we look for small ways to trim our resource usage, we sometimes get lucky and we can cut significantly more. Here’s how we reduced one of our Pingora-based service's RAM usage with statistics.
In early 2025, I started seeing people turn off their brain as they use LLMs 1 . They would have an LLM take an action (summarize text, write some code, etc.), and just assume that it worked 2 . This generally didn't work in early 2025 and the result was often quite silly. As LLMs have gotten better, I've seen more of this. Sometimes, people will try to get the LLM to write some code for them and
We dive into these questions and other AI hot takes on the latest episode of the GitHub Podcast.
You can just prove things, apparently.
A rewrite this size wasn't affordable before agents. Here's what porting the Copilot agent runtime to 800,000 lines of production Rust actually took.
A modern storefront can look healthy while malicious JavaScript quietly siphons revenue, hijacks clicks, or rewrites analytics. See how Cloudflare's machine learning models surface evasive client-side attacks for analyst investigation.
Despite broad browser support, container queries remain surprisingly underused and frequently misunderstood. Let’s look at how they differ from media queries, when to reach for each, and how container queries help reusable components respond naturally to the contexts in which they appear. - CSS - Tools - Techniques
Quality and reliability have always been a point of pride for Spotify. We run an extraordinarily complex...
Cloudflare is giving site owners a way to stay discoverable while disallowing AI training. New controls and an Accountable designation establish a shared model with Apple, Google, and Microsoft.
You can now scope access to individual Workers and assign narrower Developer Platform roles, so teammates, CI tokens, and agents get only the access they need to debug, deploy, or monitor safely.
This blog highlights the details of CYPEX 2.0, with each feature being explained in detail. Read to know more.
Cloudflare CASB policies introduce a native automation engine built directly on the Cloudflare developer platform to remediate SaaS risks automatically. Security teams can now design event-driven logic to revoke risky file shares and send webhooks without manual intervention.
If you can write down how you do your work, you can automate it. Here's what I did to support GitHub's APAC marketing team.
Strong UX ideas do not secure investment on their own. Through a worked example, Alex Williams breaks down how to define business value, calculate costs, test causality, and build a credible case for the return on a design initiative. - UX - Design - Business
1.1.1.1 now validates DNSSEC signatures using NIST’s post-quantum ML-DSA-44 algorithm. Here is how we manage 2,420-byte signatures and downgrade risks at scale.
