I've got to thank my oldest friend and concert buddy, Tim, for turning me on to this one. Ashnymph is a London band that blends post-punk melodies with Krautrock rhythms and industrial grime. Their debut EP, Childhood, drifts between dreamy vocals buried in layers of reverb and four-on-the-floor dancefloor pounding. It's a thrilling opening salvo […] Read more

Семь раз посчитай — один раз урони: моделируем инциденты до деплоя

Ракету не отправляют в космос только потому, что её двигатель и насос успешно прошли стендовые испытания по отдельности. Перед стартом инженеры рассчитывают траекторию, моделируют режимы работы и анализируют сценарии отказов. Расчёт не заменяет реальные тесты, но задаёт для них осмысленную рамку. В софте всё обычно иначе. Распределённый пользовательский путь — например, оформление заказа — собирается из десятков микросервисов, баз и очередей.
