Credential Stuffing Doesnt Break Your Login. It Drowns It. Heres a Pre-Auth Filter.

Credential stuffing is the most boring attack in the world, which is exactly why it works. There's no exploit, no injection, no clever bypass. Someone bought a list of a few million email/password pairs from an unrelated breach, and now a botnet is quietly replaying them against your login form at a few requests per second per IP, spread across ten thousand IPs. Every single request is a valid, well-formed login attempt. That's the whole problem. I want to talk about why the usual defenses miss

[EN] Infrastructure Lifecycle Management: Provisioning vs Decommissioning

In the Infrastructure Lifecycle Management we can identify the functions of: Provisioning and Decommissioning. Both are orchestrated through the application of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles, ensuring that the entire asset lifecycle, from initial resource creation/configuration to the secure, verifiable removal of all components, is managed with consistency, auditability, and minimal operational overhead. Feature Provisioning (Build Phase) Decommissioning (Retirement Phase) Pri

Mi primer intento con agentes de IA fracasó. El problema no era el modelo

Hace un año arranqué un piloto, con el respaldo de la empresa, para construir herramientas autónomas de IA sobre el trabajo de desarrollo. Un año después, dos desarrolladores del equipo entregaron el doble de los puntos que habían comprometido en un sprint — y el aumento no dependió de su seniority. Entre esas dos cosas hubo un fracaso completo. Empiezo por ahí, porque es la parte que nadie cuenta. Usé lo que se usaba entonces: orquestadores de agentes, roles, herramientas encadenadas. Cada agen

AI Agents Are Distributed Systems in Disguise: The Advanced Mathematics, Color Architecture, and Engineering of Production Agentic Systems

AI Agents Are Distributed Systems in Disguise: The Advanced Mathematics, Color Architecture, and Engineering of Production Agentic Systems Let’s skip the surface-level marketing hype. We’ve all seen basic terminal demos: an LLM receives a prompt, calls a search tool, executes a shell script, and someone tweets about "AGI". Then you attempt to deploy that architecture to handle real production workloads. Three hours in, your agent gets trapped in a 35-step infinite retry loop, hallucinates a no

Postgres Full-Text Search in Production: How to Load-Test the Index and Pin Down Relevance

Adding full-text search to Postgres is a two-line migration. Running it in production without surprises is not. The GIN index that makes search fast also adds write amplification and a background cleanup process that can quietly fall behind under a heavy insert rate, and "relevance" that looked fine on your laptop can drift the day someone changes a dictionary. Before you decide Postgres search is or isn't enough, you need evidence — a load test against your real write rate and a relevance contr

How I built BrawlerStats: honest trophy history with Firebase and Cloud Run

BrawlerStats started with a simple question: if a Brawl Stars profile is public, why is it still difficult to understand how a player is progressing over time? I built BrawlerStats as a free, no-login companion for public Brawl Stars data. You can search a public player tag, review trophies and brawler progress, inspect recent tracked battles, open public club rosters, and create daily trophy races between players. The frontend is intentionally lightweight: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript hosted on Fi
