Stateful Continuation for AI Agents: Why Transport Layers Now Matter

Agent workflows make transport a first-order concern. Multi-turn, tool-heavy loops amplify overhead that is negligible in single-turn LLM use. Stateful continuation cuts overhead dramatically. Caching context server-side can reduce client-sent data by 80%+ and improve execution time by 15–29% .

Local First – How To Build Software Which Still Works After the Acquihire

Alex Good discusses the fragility of modern cloud-dependent apps and shares a roadmap for "local-first" software. By leveraging a Git-like DAG structure and Automerge, he explains how to move from brittle client-server models to resilient systems where data lives on-device. He explores technical implementation, rich-text merging, and how this infrastructure simplifies engineering workflows.

Duolingo's Kubernetes Leap

Franka Passing discusses the architectural shift of Duolingo’s 500+ backend services to Kubernetes. She explains the move toward GitOps with Argo CD, the transition to IPv6-only pods, and the "cellular architecture" used to isolate environments. She shares "reports from the trenches" on managing developer trust, navigating AWS rate limits, and productionizing early adopter services.
