| Valkey clusters unboxed | Harkrishn Patro | 48m |
Valky is a Redis fork (since March 2024) with Valky 8.1 released April 2025; claims include >1M RPS on a cH2XL-like AWS instance and ~20% memory reduction per… | ||
| Understanding API dispatch in Scientific Python eco-systems | Aditi Juneja | 07m |
Claims that API dispatching speeds Python libraries without rewrites or heavy deps and shows it with concrete tools: backend discovery via Python entry_points… | ||
| Enabling developer autonomy: the Atlas way to shift left | Prakhar Joshi | 40m |
ShareChat builds an internal developer platform called Atlas that abstracts multi cloud resource and access workflows and integrates Backstage, Temporal and… | ||
| SaaS release engineering: balancing speed, safety & scale | Prasad Menon | 31m |
Platform shows concrete outcomes: merging 100+ PRs and running 500+ builds every two weeks, resolving 500+ vulnerabilities, and shipping 35 major plus 105… | ||
| End-to-end CI/CD observability with open source | Devasish Patil | 28m |
Claims that CI/CD pipelines become debuggable by shipping traces, metrics and logs via OpenTelemetry collector and consuming them in Prometheus Loki Jaeger or… | ||
