Engineering notes.
Write-ups about infrastructure, software architecture, and what I learn while building.
NoteObservability pipeline
Kubernetes → Prometheus → Cortex → Grafana / Logs → Loki / Traces → OpenTelemetry → Tempo
A stack is only useful when it helps you ask sharper questions during stress. Metrics explain shape, logs explain texture, traces explain path.

TAKEAWAYI prefer systems where each tool has a clear boundary and the architecture can be reasoned about under stress.
NoteAI agents for infrastructure
Runbooks as tools, incident tickets as memory, deterministic exploration maps, and MCP servers as controlled action layers.

TAKEAWAYGood agents do not replace judgment. They compress the distance between question, evidence, and reversible action.
NoteWeb development as one connected system
Frontend, backend, database, auth, deployment, observability, and product thinking are not separate rooms. They are pressure points in the same machine.
