Connection Pool Exhaustion: The Silent Killer
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1ochumi/connection_pool_exhaustion_the_silent_killer/
<!-- SC_OFF -->Why This Matters Connection pooling is how modern applications reuse expensive network sockets instead of creating fresh ones for each request. A pool of 50 connections can handle millions of requests—as long as connections circulate fast. But the moment a connection gets stuck (slow query, network hang, deadlock), the pool shrinks. When it hits zero, you’re not just slow; you’re dead. Real-world: LinkedIn experienced a 4-hour outage when a stored procedure became slow, holding connections until the pool was exhausted. Stripe saw cascading payment failures when a downstream service got sluggish, starving connections and blocking all transactions. These weren’t capacity problems; they were circulation problems. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/Extra_Ear_10 (https://www.reddit.com/user/Extra_Ear_10)

Race to the Root Cause — Talk at PyCon NL 2025
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1od1siq/race_to_the_root_cause_talk_at_pycon_nl_2025/
<!-- SC_OFF -->Examples include: Chained Exception Puzzle: Python’s “During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred” messages rarely make the real flow obvious. We’ll see how these stacktraces force you to piece together what actually happened. The Missing Curly Bracket: Sometimes Python blames a line with a with statement, even though no code runs there. Why does this happen? And what does it have to do with curly brackets? By the end, you’ll have a better feel for Python’s stacktraces, some new strategies for debugging faster, and at least one story to share the next time a stacktrace tries to trick you. You’ll walk away with sharper debugging instincts, some practical tricks, and maybe a laugh at Python’s expense. If you’ve ever felt outsmarted by a stacktrace, this is your chance to race to the root cause — and win. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/klaasvanschelven (https://www.reddit.com/user/klaasvanschelven)

React Server Components with Rust: 12x faster P99 latency than Next.js
