Building observability from scratch is a journey we have taken three times over to get it right. 🚀

We evolved from Nagios on a single box to a unified stack across thousands of virtual machines and identified the migration patterns that kept things smooth. ⚡

Explore our evolution and find the documentation you need to scale your own observability stack. 👉 https://developer.upsun.com/posts/how-it-works/building-observability-from-scratch-three-times-over

Optimizing Software Factories
이 글은 AI와 인력 비율에 따른 소프트웨어 개발 조직의 변화와 최적화에 대해 논의한다. AI 에이전트가 많은 조직에서는 인력 감소 시에도 작업이 지속되지만, 핵심 인력의 지식 손실이 문제로 남는다. 전통적인 10/90 비율에서 90/10 비율로 이동할수록 조직 구조가 단순해지고, 엔지니어는 에이전트 관리와 설계에 집중하게 된다. 제조업의 공장 운영 원칙을 소프트웨어 개발에 적용해 적절한 여유를 두는 것이 중요하다고 제안한다.

We have come closer to defining my role at my job. I am an Engineering Manager who has a side hustle doing Product Management and moonlights as an IC. I guess that still isn't very well defined, is it.

At this point it is basically "Does a project need done? Give it to Liz, she'll figure it out." Which is a cool space to be in, but boy oh boy do I constantly feel like I am juggling plates.
