on Distributed systems, Temporal, Restate, Workflow, Backend
Distributed systems have a dirty secret: most of the code isn’t business logic. It’s glue. Retry loops, idempotency keys, saga compensations, distributed locks, timeout handling — the machinery that makes workflows reliable dwarfs the code that makes them useful. Durable execution is a paradigm that promises to make this machinery invisible.
on Ai, Llm, Infrastructure, Api gateway, Cost optimization
As organizations move from LLM experimentation to production, a critical infrastructure gap becomes apparent: who manages the complexity of routing requests, controlling costs, enforcing rate limits, and maintaining observability across multiple AI providers? The answer increasingly is the AI Gateway — a purpose-built proxy layer sitting between your applications and LLM providers.
