Teena Idnani explains how to architect and build resilient event-driven distributed systems in a multi-cloud reality. Using a fictional bank's migration journey, she shares practical, code-level solutions for overcoming major challenges: managing cross-cloud latency, ensuring event ordering and consistency, building resilience by design, and preventing duplicate events.
By Teena IdnaniGitHub is introducing a hybrid post-quantum secure key exchange algorithm for SSH access when interacting with Git over SSH.
By Craig RisiReact 19.2 introduces new APIs and performance improvements focused on better UI control and server rendering. Key additions include the new Activity component for managing UI states without losing component state, and the useEffectEvent hook, which separates event logic from effect dependencies.
By Daniel CurtisSoftware architecture is tough because it blends coding, math, and business systems. Due to surprises, architectures tend to become irrelevant over time, Barry O'Reilly said. He presented residuality theory, where he suggested stressing naive architectures to reveal hidden “attractors” in complex business systems. This allows designs to better survive change and uncertainty.
By Ben LindersThinking Machines has released Tinker, an API for fine-tuning open-weight language models. The service is designed to reduce infrastructure overhead for developers, providing managed scheduling, GPU allocation, and checkpoint handling. By abstracting away cluster management, Tinker allows fine-tuning through simple Python calls.
