One Cache to Rule Them All: Handling Responses and In-Flight Requests with Durable Objects

Traditional caching fails to stop "thundering herds" where multiple clients trigger the same work during a miss. This article proposes using Cloudflare Durable Objects to treat in-flight work and finished results as two states of one cache entry. By routing to a single owner, systems eliminate redundant tasks. This pattern replaces complex locks with simple promises, simplifying the system design.

Engineering Speed at Scale — Architectural Lessons from Sub-100-ms APIs

Sub‑100-ms APIs emerge from disciplined architecture using latency budgets, minimized hops, async fan‑out, layered caching, circuit breakers, and strong observability. But long‑term speed depends on culture, with teams owning p99, monitoring drift, managing thread pools, and treating performance as a shared, continuous responsibility.

Autonomous Big Data Optimization: Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning to Achieve Self-Tuning Apache Spark

This article introduces a reinforcement learning (RL) approach grounded in Apache Spark that enables distributed computing systems to learn optimal configurations autonomously, much like an apprentice engineer who learns by doing. The author also implements a lightweight agent as a driver-side component that uses RL to choose configuration settings before a job runs.

No QA Environment? No Problem: How Classpass Enables Testing on a Single Environment in ECS

Po Linn Chia shares the sociotechnical journey of ClassPass, moving from a flaky, homegrown testing framework to a dynamic routing architecture on ECS. She discusses leveraging Traefik and OpenTelemetry baggage to enable "shadow mains" and ephemeral feature testing. This talk provides a pragmatic blueprint for engineering leaders to increase developer velocity with a lean platform team.
