I think they just wanted a quick post-mortem. I'm sure they will add more to the blog later in the year when they implement mitigations.
They are a younger company than these other providers. Microsoft, Google, and AWS had their own growth pains and disasters. Remember when Microsoft deleted all the data (contacts, photos, etc) off all their customers…
Cloudflare vowed to be extremely transparent since the start of their existence. I'm very happy with the fact they have managed to keep this a core company value under extreme growth. I hope it continues after they…
It was more of an incident report. The efforts to get back online were mostly around Flexential, so it makes sense to dive in to their failings. That said, it is clear there were major lapses of judgement around the…
haha. The control plane was eventually consistent after 3 days
Traditional GC isn’t less complex to program then automatic reference counting. Traditional GC has its place in short running extension languages, but in longer running programs you run the same risk of memory leaks as…
You still have value semantics to lean on. They integrate really well with Swift’s actor implementation.
Yes, this is basically the new non-ObjC Distributed Objects or high level XPC interface.
I think the language and runtime are evolving too fast for good support of other platforms outside of NIO based apps running in a Docker container. This should change once Swift has all the features originally planned…
Distributed actors don’t actually have compiler support. They use a standalone code generator much like GRPC. The plan is to call the generator automatically during a build process using upcoming SPM plugin support.…
