Resilience

A hands-on TypeScript tutorial for building a production LLM client that survives slow upstreams, rate limits, transient 5xx errors, and whole-provider outages — a per-attempt timeout, exponential backoff with jitter, a per-provider circuit breaker, and automatic failover, in about 250 lines of typed, fully tested code.

On June 12 US export controls pulled Anthropic's Fable 5 offline overnight. The continuity engineering that turns a dead model into a non-event — and why most production teams never built it.

Advanced guide to resilience patterns in event-driven architectures, covering saga patterns, sophisticated circuit breakers, and strategic implementation approaches for mission-critical distributed systems.

Job loss in tech has become a shared experience, not a personal failure. This essay covers the emotional reality of being let go, the tech layoff wave from 2022 through 2025, how AI is reshaping career paths, practical recovery steps, and why your next chapter may be your best one.

Multi-cloud architectures are inherently fragile at the seams. The connections between clouds, the failover mechanisms, and the data synchronization layers are where outages happen. Chaos engineering — deliberately injecting failures — is the only way to find these weaknesses before they find you. A comprehensive guide to designing, running, and learning from chaos experiments across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
