Talking to traditional, centralized databases without adding latency is one of the hardest challenges of moving to applications to run in serverless functions. Most of us are all used to co-located DB and compute. Hyperdrive is our answer. hyperdrive-demo.pages.dev

A very wonky blog post. We noticed many Durable Objects apps had classic storage bugs (race conditions, unconfirmed writes, long waits, etc.). Instead of telling people to fix their code, we fixed the system, so intuitively-written code is now correct. blog.cloudflare.com/durable-object…

I wrote a guide recently on improving performance when running in #Kubernetes. It's focused on running #CockroachDB, but the advice is mostly broadly applicable for running other systems too. I'd love some feedback on it! cockroachlabs.com/docs/stable/ku…

The kernel community is about to replace iptables with BPF. I've captured my thoughts in a blog post. The performance gains speak for themselves. cilium.io/blog/2018/04/1…
