The practice

03 / Systems & infrastructure

Performance under pressure.

High-throughput services, distributed infrastructure, and the operational details that determine whether a system keeps its promises.

The question underneath

What gives way first under real load?

Measure the tail, not just the average. Make backpressure, recovery, and data ownership explicit before increasing throughput.
