The unwritten laws of software engineering

- Always related - first rollback, then debug. - Backups aren’t real until restored. - You’ll hate yourself for bad logs. - ALWAYS have a rollback plan. - Every external dependency will fail. - If there's risk, use the “4 eyes” rule. - Nothing lasts like a temporary fix... read more

How Netflix Simplified Batch Compute with Kueue

Netflix migratedmillions of batch jobsfrom their custom queuing system toKueue, a cloud-native job queueing system, as part of transitioning to a more Kubernetes-native infrastructure. Kueue offers features such as preemption, fair sharing, and hierarchical tenants that were missing in their homegro.. read more

Slurm Workload Manager is an open-source, fault-tolerant, and highly scalable cluster management and scheduling system widely used in high-performance computing (HPC). Designed to operate without kernel modifications, Slurm coordinates thousands of compute nodes by allocating resources, launching and monitoring jobs, and managing contention through its flexible scheduling queue.

At its core, Slurm uses a centralized controller (slurmctld) to track cluster state and assign work, while lightweight daemons (slurmd) on each node execute tasks and communicate hierarchically for fault tolerance. Optional components like slurmdbd and slurmrestd extend Slurm with accounting and REST APIs. A rich set of commands—such as srun, squeue, scancel, and sinfo—gives users and administrators full visibility and control.

Slurm’s modular plugin architecture supports nearly every aspect of cluster operation, including authentication, MPI integration, container runtimes, resource limits, energy accounting, topology-aware scheduling, preemption, and GPU management via Generic Resources (GRES). Nodes are organized into partitions, enabling sophisticated policies for job size, priority, fairness, oversubscription, reservation, and resource exclusivity.

Widely adopted across academia, research labs, and enterprise HPC environments, Slurm serves as the backbone for many of the world’s top supercomputers, offering a battle-tested, flexible, and highly configurable framework for large-scale distributed computing.
