The Free-Lunch Guide to Idea Circularity

Holly Cummins discusses why "nothing is new under the sun" in tech. She maps historical architectural tradeoffs to modern cloud, microservices, and AI hype cycles. She connects financial debt (post-ZIRP) and technical debt to epistemic and sleep debt, showing engineering leaders how to navigate shifts in assumptions, embrace sustainability, and revive proven engineering disciplines.

From ms to µs: OSS Valkey Architecture Patterns for Modern AI

Dumanshu Goyal discusses optimizing data layers for low-latency workloads like AI feature stores. Drawing lessons from NASA's Space Shuttle, he explains how proxy architectures introduce hidden CPU costs, elevated tail latencies, and blast-radius risks. He demonstrates how direct-access Valkey architectures achieve microsecond latency, improve resilience, and slash infrastructure costs.

Runtime-Agnostic AI Workflows: A Pattern for Production Durability and Fast Eval Iteration

AI workflows have two needs that trade off directly. Running reliably in production requires persisting and distributing every step so it survives crashes, deploys, and restarts. But that same machinery is what makes runs too heavy for the fast, throwaway loop you need to check an LLM's output quality. The properties that buy durability are the ones that kill iteration speed.
