Daily Reading List – November 1, 2023 (#195)

Just wrapping up the workday after a pair of 3-hour internal summits in Sunnyvale. I’m excited about what we’re doing, and the team we have doing it. Here’s what I had a chance to read today.

[blog] 2023 DORA Report. Abi does a review of the latest State of DevOps Report and pulls out findings he finds interesting.

[blog] Friday Forward – Sustained Elevation. Some good general-purpose advice here. Instead of chasing new peaks, consider hunting for elevated plateaus.

[article] Questions for 2024. There are plenty of 2024 predictions floating around, but I like this approach of asking some key questions that might get answered next year.

[blog] Answering billions of reporting queries each day with low latency. Here’s a peek at an internal Google service our Ads team relies on for massive scale.

[article] Backends in Dart. Have you coded in Dart before? If you’ve used Flutter to build apps, then the answer is likely yes. Otherwise, probably not. Watch this talk and see if it changes your mind.

[blog] Background Change with Imagen on Vertex AI : A Step-by-Step Guide. It’s impressive to me how easy it is to do mask-based editing with a couple of API calls. Wow.

[blog] What Should I Dispose with .NET Database Connections? I imagine that most good blog posts start with something thinking to themselves “I wonder …” Example here.

[blog] Ingress traffic to your GKE fleet with the Multi-cluster Gateway controller, now GA. I think this is a pretty big deal for platform teams that manage fleets of Kubernetes clusters.

[blog] A Complete Guide to LangChain in JavaScript. If you love JavaScript and you’re curious about generative AI, this is a good guide for learning how to build gen Ai apps.
