Welcome to this week’s Uptime Sync. This issue covers Halodoc’s canary migration of AWS MSK from ZooKeeper to KRaft, a practical look at a full-stack AWS setup in 2026, and how AI is flooding open source projects with high-quality security reports. We also examine why FastCGI still beats newer options for reverse proxies in some workloads, how SingleStore scaled PrivateLink routing across AWS, Azure, and GCP using Envoy and Wasm, and what testing distributed systems under chaos really looks like.
On the tutorial front: comparing S3 Files vs EFS on cost, POSIX limits, and Lambda fit, understanding Kubernetes networking from the ground up, why Dockerfile practices become a DevOps tax before they become a security problem, idempotency patterns that prevent duplicate failures, and how to use PostgreSQL as a cache, queue, and search engine.
This week’s projects bring you Browser Harness for self-healing browser task execution, Future AGI for tracing, evals, simulations, and guardrails around AI apps, GitButler for modern Rust-based version control workflows, Adrian for runtime security monitoring of AI agents, and pdf_oxide for fast PDF extraction, conversion, and editing in Python and Rust.
