Stratum is Netflix’s internal serverless media processing platform, shaped by over a decade of experience developing large-scale distributed systems. It powers a wide range of media workloads — including encoding, packaging, inspection, and quality scoring — behind playback, advertising, studio workflows, AI embeddings, and more.

At ACRL, we’ve identified five “key metrics” that you should be tracking for your autoscaling engines, and—spoiler—they might not be the normal ones you think of.

I was at dinner with a bunch of CTOs and Head of Infrastructure folks recently, and from the conversation it was clear that many companies are struggling to source CPUs in the current climate, and are coming to terms with the end of juicy discounts from cloud providers for machines in the new era of surging demand fueled by AI.

KiviDB is a fast, multi-threaded alternative to Redis® and Valkey, written in Rust. It speaks the Redis protocol (RESP2 and RESP3), so existing Redis clients, redis-cli and libraries work unchanged, and it has full-text and vector search built in. It runs every core on a sharded in-memory key-value design, and persists to snapshots and an optional append-only file.

SPACE (Sandboxed Platform for Agentic Code Execution) is a sandbox platform for running code in isolated Firecracker microVMs. Applications use its HTTP API to create Linux environments, execute commands, collect output, and manage sandbox lifecycles.

Use SPACE when your application needs a separate execution environment for an agent, a user workspace, or a code-running job. Your application decides what to run and what results to keep; SPACE manages the sandbox, its processes, and the connection carrying command output.

A small Go heap does not always mean low container memory usage. The heap shares the container's memory limit with goroutine stacks, runtime metadata, cgo allocations, and memory mapped directly from the operating system. Linux can kill a Go process even when its heap looks healthy.

A Wi-Fi toggle took an IAP tunnel almost three minutes to recover. Why the relay reconnect stalls, and what close codes 4033, 4003 and 4047 mean.

Google says to verify the RDP thumbprint from serial port 1. On a real VM it was gone. How the password reaches you, what CredSSP protects, and the errors in between.

Collaborative multi-agent AI coding workspace: aggregate sessions from Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Pi, Grok Build, etc. Desktop app, self-hosted server, or Docker.
