NGINX ships an open-sourceAgentic ObservabilityJS module. It parsesMCPtraffic and extracts tool names, error statuses, and client/server identities. The module uses nativeOpenTelemetryto export spans. A Docker Compose reference wires upOTel collector,Prometheus, andGrafanafor realtime throughput, la.. read more  

This paper from 2008 proposes a shared-disk design over Amazon S3 for cloud-native databases, separating storage from compute. Clients write redo logs to Amazon SQS instead of directly to S3 to hide latency. The paper presents a blueprint for serverless databases before the term existed... read more  

Amazon RDS costs are not fixed - they vary based on configuration and usage. Making informed configuration and governance decisions is key to optimizing costs. Graviton instances offer better price-performance for common databases, while storage costs can be reduced by decoupling performance from ca.. read more  

Amazon EMR Serverless allows users to run big data analytics frameworks without managing clusters, integrating with various AWS services for a comprehensive solution. The top 10 best practices for optimizing EMR Serverless workloads focus on performance, cost, and scalability, including consideratio.. read more  

This post discusses the impact of AI on the role of Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) by drawing parallels to historical research on automation. It highlights the risk of deskilling and never-skilling for SREs who heavily rely on AI tools for incident response. The post also suggests potential appro.. read more  

Microsoft's Project Silica encodes data in borosilicate glass using femtosecond lasers, offering long-term storage for up to 10,000 years. This method overcomes traditional storage limitations and is cost-effective, though write speed remains a challenge. The research phase is complete, but no product release has been announced.

Draw.io MCPlinks theModel Context Protocoltodraw.io. It ingests structured input (text,CSV,Mermaid) and emitsdraw.io XML, PNG/SVG, or hosted links. Draw.io MCPruns as anMCP Tool Server, CLI, or Copilot skill. It drafts small graphs (<50 nodes) in seconds and stores diagrams inGitfor diffs andCI/CDau.. read more

The note saysAIworkloads are bursty. They spawn parallel tool calls, pull multi‑GB model weights into RAM, and endure long cold starts (e.g.,vLLM,SGLang). Companies wrestle with a fragmentedGPUmarket and poor peakGPU utilization. To hit latency, compliance, and cost targets they adoptmulti‑region/mu.. read more
