Building Resilient Platforms: Insights from Over Twenty Years in Mission-Critical Infrastructure

Building resilient platforms requires understanding the art and science of creating infrastructure that others depend on for critical applications. This perspective applies to anyone who builds software consumed by others at scale. Whether developing infrastructure platforms, software development platforms, or messaging systems, principles address how to build software that others consume at scale

When Reverse Proxies Surprise You: Hard Lessons from Operating at Scale

Operating massive reverse proxy fleets reveals hard lessons: optimizations that work on smaller systems fail at scale; mundane oversights like missing commas cause major outages; and abstractions meant to simplify become hidden fragility points. Success requires profiling on target hardware, relentlessly monitoring boring details, keeping hot paths lean, and trusting instrumentation over theory.
