Adopting Memory-Safety and Fine-Grained Compartmentalisation with CHERI

David Chisnall discusses how the CHERI hardware architecture redefines pointer safety to solve isolation and sharing challenges. He explains how CHERI enables spatial and temporal memory safety for C/C++, scales down to microcontrollers with CHERIoT, and replaces costly OS-level RPC mechanisms with lightweight, auditable compartmentalization - all without requiring massive codebase rewrites.

Architecture as a Socio-Technical Craft

Architecture is not a fixed choice made once; fitness is a moving target driven by changing regulations, tech, and markets. Even a sound design can silently stop fitting over time without bad calls. Spanning seven articles on context stores, gateways, and topologies, this collection treats architecture as an evolving sociotechnical craft where teams deliberately shape friction, fitness, and flow.

SafeChat: Building AI-Powered Safety Systems at Scale in a Real-Time Marketplace

Bruna Pereira explains how DoorDash built a content-agnostic AI moderation platform. She covers replacing costly LLM-only pipelines with a hybrid pattern: using fast internal models to filter obvious cases, LLM multi-axis scoring for nuanced decisions, and no-code workflows with backtesting. Discover how this architectural pattern cut safety incidents while scaling to millions of daily messages.

Enchant Your AI and APIs with eBPF Magic ��

Dan Finneran discusses the risks of unowned AI-generated code in production and demonstrates how eBPF can intercept and control AI API traffic in Kubernetes. He explains how kernel-level socket hooks enable transparent prompt filtering, model swapping, token limits, and syscall restrictions to secure AI agents without modifying application source code or restarting containers.
