A Couple Million Lines of Haskell: Production Engineering at Mercury

Mercury runs ~2M lines ofHaskellin production. They choseTemporalto replace cron and DB-backed state machines. Durable workflows replace brittle coordination. They open-sourced aHaskellSDK forTemporal, wired inOpenTelemetryhooks, and pushed records-of-functions plus domain-error types... read more

How To Make a Fast Dynamic Language Interpreter

Zef's AST-walking interpreter posts a 16.6× speed-up. The gains come from surgical changes:64-bit tagged values,AST node & RMW specialization,symbol hash-consing,inline caches, and a shapedobject model. Developers built it onFil-C++and later ported it toYolo-C++. The Yolo build adds ~4x speed, at th.. read more

Agentic Coding is a Trap

AI-driven coding agents are the hot new trend, but beware of the trade-offs: increased complexity, skills atrophy, vendor lock-in, and fluctuating costs. Only skilled developers can spot issues in the vast lines of generated code, but paradoxically, AI tools are impacting critical thinking skills ne.. read more

When upserts don't update but still write: Debugging Postgres performance at scale

The Datadog team introduced a new upsert query to track inactive hosts, but it unexpectedly increased disk writes and WAL syncs due to row locking. By digging into Postgres's Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) and rewriting the query using a Common Table Expression (CTE), they avoided unnecessary overhead an.. read more

From Ingress NGINX to Higress: migrating 60+ resources in 30 minutes with AI

With the March 2026 retirement ofIngress NGINX, teams face an urgent compliance mandate. They must replace unpatched controllers. EnterHigress. Built onEnvoyandIstio. It unifies LLM protocols, enforces token rate limits, caches prompts, hostsMCP, and usesxDSfor zero-downtime. AnAI agentpaired withhi.. read more  

From Ingress NGINX to Higress: migrating 60+ resources in 30 minutes with AI
BigQuery is a cloud-native, serverless analytics platform designed to store, query, and analyze massive volumes of structured and semi-structured data using standard SQL. It separates storage from compute, automatically scales resources, and eliminates the need for infrastructure management, indexing, or capacity planning.

BigQuery is optimized for analytical workloads such as business intelligence, log analysis, data science, and machine learning. It supports real-time data ingestion via streaming, batch loading from cloud storage, and federated queries across external data sources like Cloud Storage, Bigtable, and Google Drive.

Query execution is distributed and highly parallel, enabling interactive performance even on petabyte-scale datasets. The platform integrates deeply with the Google Cloud ecosystem, including Looker for BI, Vertex AI for ML workflows, Dataflow for streaming pipelines, and BigQuery ML, which allows users to train and run machine learning models directly using SQL.

Built-in security features include fine-grained IAM controls, column- and row-level security, encryption by default, and audit logging. BigQuery follows a consumption-based pricing model, charging for storage and queries (on-demand or reserved capacity).
