By Leela KumiliPresentation: Write-Ahead Intent Log: A Foundation for Efficient CDC at Scale
Vinay Chella and Akshat Goel discuss the challenges of running traditional CDC across heterogeneous databases during peak order traffic.

By Vinay Chella, Akshat GoelHow Lightweight ADRs and Architectural Advice Forums Can Support Architectural Decisions

By Daniel CurtisVS Code 1.123 Adds Two-Hour Extension Update Delay to Limit Supply Chain Attacks

The delay does not apply to trusted publishers like Microsoft, GitHub, and OpenAI. Similar cooldown mechanisms have now spread across pip, RubyGems, npm, pnpm, Yarn, and Bun.
