Weekly notes

Mar 31, 2025

  • Do you really need to store all that telemetry?: Very interesting read. It’s very true that telemetry leaving a process becomes expensive and that monitoring vendors rely on us indiscriminately generating copious amounts of monitoring data we’ll never look at in order to remain viable. Is this a reasonable alternative … ??
  • Reliability Pillar - AWS Well-Architected Framework: Re-read of the reliability well-architected pillar by AWS. Good advice in here regardless of where my workload is running.
  • Charles Webster, Customer Enterprise Architect: Interesting ZSA profile fellow who’s got a sysadmin background and likes several neat cli tools.
  • JDK 24 G1/Parallel/Serial GC changes: Some notes about gc in Java 25. Nice incremental improvement to the g1 gc collector. Such a beautiful, thoughtful piece of tech.
  • One or Two? How Many Queues?: There is a risk of a subset of specialized work being delayed unnecessarily due to the appearance of business elsewhere in a work queue system it sounds like.
  • Building My Own Backend: How I Set Up Email Subscriptions with AWS Lambda : Really tiny email subscription and newsletter system using all serverless aws things. Nice.
  • Spaces: Sherry (zsa): Great interview by zsa keyboard company with author of submariner history book
  • Security Pillar - AWS Well-Architected Framework: Lots of broadly applicable and good advice in here
