The history of Postgres sharding

Over the past 20 years, many companies have achieved such a scale that their database could no longer support the workload assigned to it. The solution is almost universally to shard the database, but only when absolutely necessary due to the added complexity. MySQL was a much more popular choice for relational databases in the 2010s and because of this, the tooling around things like online schema changes and sharding progressed much quicker. Tools like gh-ost, Vitess, and more were built aroun

Radar - RPKI ASPA path validation on Cloudflare Radar

Radar adds an ASPA validation tool ↗ to its Routing section ↗. Enter a BGP AS_PATH and the tool checks it against the Autonomous System Provider Authorization (ASPA) ↗ records currently published in the RPKI, returning a verdict of Valid, Invalid, or Unknown. An Invalid verdict means no chain of provider authorizations covers the whole path, which is the signature of a route leak. Validation follows draft-ietf-sidrops-aspa-verification ↗, so verdicts match those produced by validators implementi

Log Level Design and Rotation: Why Apps Use DEBUG/INFO/WARNING/ERROR

Open any application log and you'll see the same kind of message tagged with different labels: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR. Why not just write down everything that happens, in one uniform stream? This post looks at what log levels actually do, and at the companion problem every long-running app eventually faces: keeping a log file from growing forever (rotation). Note: logging means recording what happened while a program runs, so it can be reviewed later in a file or on screen. Python's standar
