We Needed Better Cloud Storage for Python so We Built Obstore

Obstoreis a new stateless object store that skips fsspec-style caching and keeps its API tight and predictable across S3, GCS, and Azure. Sync and async both work. Under the hood? Fast, zero-copy Rust–Python interop. And on small concurrent async GETs, it reportedly crushes S3FS with up to9x better ..

How Salesforce Delivers Reliable, Low-Latency AI Inference

Salesforce’s AI Metadata Service (AIMS) just got a serious speed boost. They rolled out a multi-layer cache—L1 on the client, L2 on the server—and cut inference latency from 400ms to under 1ms. That’s over 98% faster. But it’s not just about speed anymore. L2 keeps responses flowing even when the b..

Open Source is one person

New data from ecosyste.ms drops a hard truth:almost 60% of 11.8M open source projects are solo acts. Even among NPM packages topping 1M monthly downloads, about half still rest on one pair of hands. The world runs on open source. But the scaffolding seems shakier than anyone wants to admit—millions..

Everything I know about good API design

This guide lays out the playbook for running tough, user-first APIs: no breaking changes, stick to familiar patterns, honor long-lived API keys, and make every write idempotent. It pushes cursor-based pagination for heavy data, rate limits that come with context, and optional fields to keep things ..

The unexpected productivity boost of Rust

Lubeno's backend is100% Rust, providing strong safety guarantees for refactoring confidence. Rust's type checker catches async bugs, unlikeTypeScript. Rust excels in tracking lifetimes and borrowing rules.Zig, on the other hand, can be alarming with its compiler choices, such as overlooking typos in..

From Python to Go: Why We Rewrote Our Ingest Pipeline at Telemetry Harbor

Telemetry Harbor tossed out Python FastAPI and rebuilt its ingest pipeline inGo. The payoff?10x faster, no more CPU freakouts, and strongerdata integritythanks to strict typing. PostgreSQL is now the slowest link in the chain—not the app—which is the kind of bottleneck you actuallywant. Means the s..

Go is still not good

Go’s been catching flak for years, and the hits keep coming: stiff variable scoping, no destructor patterns, clunky error handling, and brittle build directives. Critics point out how Go’s design often blocks best practices like RAII and makes devs contort logic just to clean up resources or manage ..

Lessons learned from building a sync-engine and reactivity system with SQLite

A dev ditched Electric + PGlite for a lean, browser-native sync setup built aroundWASM SQLite,JSON polling, andBroadcastChannel reactivity. It’s running inside a local-first notes app. Changes get logged with DB triggers. Sync state? Tracked by hand. Svelte stores update via lightweight polling, wi..

Developer's block

Overdoing “best practices” can kill momentum. Think endless tests, wall-to-wall docs, airtight CI, and coding rules rigid enough to snap. Sounds responsible—until it slows dev to a crawl. The piece argues for flipping that script. Start scrappy. Build fast. Save the polish for later. It’s how you d..

FAUN.dev is a developer-first platform built with a simple goal: help engineers stay sharp without wasting their time. It curates practical newsletters, thoughtful technical blogs, and useful developer tools that focus on signal over noise.
