DevOps

Airtable is best thought of as a low‑code application platform built around a collaborative “database-like” spreadsheet UI - excellent for rapidly creating operational tooling (internal trackers, lightweight CRMs, content pipelines, AI evaluation queues) where non-developers need a friendly interface, but developers also need an API surface for automation and integration.

OpenCode is an open source AI coding agent you can run in the terminal (TUI + CLI) with optional desktop and IDE surfaces. This is the OpenCode Quickstart: install, verify, connect a model/provider, and run real workflows (CLI + API).

LLM inference looks like “just another API” — until latency spikes, queues back up, and your GPUs sit at 95% memory with no obvious explanation.

AWS S3 remains the “default” baseline for object storage: it is fully managed, strongly consistent, and designed for extremely high durability and availability.
Garage and MinIO are self-hosted, S3-compatible alternatives: Garage is designed for lightweight, geo-distributed small-to-medium clusters, while MinIO emphasises broad S3 API feature coverage and high performance in larger deployments.

Temporal is an open-source, enterprise-grade workflow engine that enables developers to build durable, scalable, and fault-tolerant workflow applications using familiar programming languages like Go.

LLM systems fail in ways that traditional API monitoring cannot surface — queues fill silently, GPU memory saturates long before CPU looks busy, and latency blows up at the batching layer rather than the application layer. This guide covers an end-to-end observability strategy for LLM inference and LLM applications: what to measure, how to instrument it with Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, and Grafana, and how to deploy the telemetry pipeline at scale.

Observability is the foundation of reliable production systems.

Without metrics, dashboards, and alerting, Kubernetes clusters drift, AI workloads fail silently, and latency regressions go unnoticed until users complain.

Choosing the right browser automation stack and webscraping in Go affects speed, maintenance, and where your code runs.
