For a very long time, it appeared obvious to outside observers of the time flow that Skynet would never win the war, and never annihilate humanity.

One of the books that impacted the most my career is probably The Mikado Method.

Modern telemetry libraries allow easily configuring auto instrumentation, to automatically gather observability data about frameworks and libraries.

OpenTelemetry is making observability much easier, especially by providing the first widely accepted vendor agnostic telemetry libraries.

Ever since we need to operate hardware and software in production, we have needed to know how those behave.

The goal of a consensus algorithm is to allow multiple machines to work as a coherent group which can survive the failures from some of its members.

I actually read this paper for the first time a year ago.

In this article, I would like to suggest the use of a very common pattern in Go, Functional Options, but adapted to the Ruby language.

This is my summary and review of the paper Monarch: Google’s Planet-Scale In-Memory Time Series Database

OpenTelemetry is a quite new tool meant to provide a standard interface to for handling metrics and traces.

Incidents are inevitable.

For a couple years now, I’ve been starting to read a lot more.

For a number of months now, I’ve been wanting to learn some Erlang.

Sidekiq kind of revolutionized background job processing in ruby.

Earlier today, Heroku announced SSL Beta, a way to provide SSL on your heroku-hosted app for a much lower cost than it used to be.

Every Thursday morning, we meet over tea/coffee with other people living in Toulouse.

I spend most of my time at Heroku working on our support tools and services; help.heroku.com is one such example.

For the past 20 months (more or less), I have been working with the support team at heroku.

A bit over a year ago, I decided to try starting to read more.

Spoiler: this is not a sad story.

Designing an API is hard.

Working with our support team, I often see customers having timeout problems.

For the past few months, I’ve been experimenting with go quite a bit.

For the past year, I have been working on Oahu.
