Balancing Reliability at the Crypto-Finance Frontier with Brian Shaw (Uphold)

Sylvain Kalache sits down with Brian Shaw, Senior Engineering Leader at Uphold, to explore the reliability challenges that arise when operating at the intersection of traditional finance and crypto markets. Brian shares how unexpected market events can create massive traffic spikes, how their platform architecture and Kubernetes setup help them stay resilient, and why Uphold's transparency and regulatory approach make them both trustworthy and a high-profile target.

LangChain Observability: From Zero to Production in 10 Minutes

LangChain apps are powerful, but they’re not easy to monitor. A single request might pass through an LLM, a vector store, external APIs, and a custom chain of tools. And when something slows down or silently fails, debugging is often guesswork. In one instance, a developer ended up with an unexpected $30,000 OpenAI bill, with no visibility into what triggered it. This blog shows how to avoid that using OpenTelemetry and LangSmith. With this setup, you’ll be able to.

How to Create a Database from Scratch: A Step-by-Step Guide

Knowing how to create a database is no longer just a backend task; it’s a core skill for building systems that perform under pressure and scale with complexity. With global data volumes expected to reach 175 zettabytes by 2025, developers must design systems that turn raw information into something meaningful, accessible, and usable. But what does that look like in practice? How do you go from raw data requirements to a reliable schema? Which engine should you choose?

Live Linux kernel patching with progressive timestamped rollouts

The apt package manager is responsible for installing.deb packages on Ubuntu LTS (long-term support) and interim releases, including the.deb package for the Linux kernel. Updating the kernel package requires a system restart, leaving systems vulnerable between the moment the Linux kernel package is installed and when the machine is rebooted.

Is AI About to Create Its Own Language? Here's What You Need to Know!

This panel brings together experts Josh Mesout (Civo), Nobel Chowdary Mandepudi (Arm), Jimil Patel (Intuit), Numa Dhamani (iVerify), and James Gress (Accenture) to discuss the cutting edge of AI and machine learning. They explore when AI might develop its own language beyond human syntax, the evolving landscape of ML frameworks such as MLIR, Mojo, and JAX, and the challenges involved in bridging the gap from AI research to production while optimizing models for deployment.

Rewriting the Same Controls-Over and Over Again? How FINOS and Kosli Are Fixing Software Compliance

Every bank needs to prove it’s compliant. So why is every bank reinventing the same rules? Manual, duplicative compliance across teams Engineers stuck gathering screenshots for audits Custom rules for common risks Missed opportunity to define shared standards Mike joins FINOS Aaron Griswold and explains why Kosli joined FINOS—and how defining shared SDLC controls can help regulated organizations stop wasting time and start delivering software faster and safer. Unpacking the real problems in regulated software delivery.
