- Jul 24, 2026 Model Registries and Promotion Gates Between Training and Traffic What a registry records about an artifact, how staging transitions are gated on evidence, and why the serving path must resolve versions rather than names. machine learning
- Jun 22, 2026 Graceful Shutdown and the Ordering of Connection Draining The sequence a server must follow to stop without dropping requests, why a closed listening socket resets queued connections, and how drain deadlines are sized. backend systems
- Mar 9, 2026 Rolling Back a Stateful Serving Fleet Under Live Traffic Restoring an earlier model is simple until the serving fleet holds request state, warm caches, and in-flight streams; then the rollback itself becomes a state transition with its own failure modes. inference systems
- Dec 22, 2025 Service Worker Update Semantics and skipWaiting How byte comparison decides whether a new worker installs, what updateViaCache changes about that check, and why calling skipWaiting while old documents are open produces mixed-version clients. web platform
- Dec 16, 2025 Automatic Rollback Controllers and the Ways They Misfire A controller that reverts a deployment on a metric threshold is a feedback loop wrapped around a feedback loop; its failure modes are oscillation, latency in the evidence, and disagreement about what baseline means. inference systems
- Oct 2, 2025 How Automated Retraining Loops Close Without Oscillating Retraining triggers, shadow evaluation, and rollback criteria: the control loop that keeps a served model current without thrashing or self-confirmation. machine learning
- Dec 22, 2024 Retiring a Protocol Version Without a Flag Day Why old versions persist after they are known to be weak, how deprecation is staged across senders and receivers, and what actually forces a deployment off a protocol. internet protocols
- Jul 23, 2024 Model Artifact Identity: Why a Checkpoint Hash Is Not a Deployment The behaviour a serving fleet exhibits depends on far more than tensor values, so deployment identity has to cover the tokenizer, the preprocessing path, and the runtime configuration as one unit. inference systems
- Dec 30, 2022 X.400 Versus SMTP: When a Better-Designed Messaging System Loses How the OSI message handling system specified store-and-forward routing, naming and delivery reports, why its design was technically more complete than SMTP, and what prevented it from displacing an internet mail architecture that was already deployed. computing history
- Feb 28, 2022 Independent Deployability and Cross-Service Contracts What must be true for two services to be released on separate schedules, how wire formats absorb change, and why a passing contract test does not prove compatibility. software architecture
