Hello eBPF: Concurrency Testing using Custom Linux Schedulers How anyone can write a basic Linux scheduler and use it, for example, to fuzz for concurrency bugs or optimize for specific workloads.

To get you ready for @mostlynerdless.de and @jakehillion.me’s #P99CONF technical session on the Linux scheduler, we're sharing a deep dive from Johannes' hello-ebpf series that looks at concurrency testing using Custom Linux schedulers. www.p99conf.io/2025/08/06/h...

Why DynamoDB Costs Catch Teams Off Guard From inevitable overprovisioning to the "on-demand" tax: why DynamoDB is bloody hard to cost-control

💡 Tuesday tech tip: While building a DynamoDB cost calculator, Tim Koopmans discovered that DynamoDB is easy to adopt, but "bloody hard" to cost-control. Tim explains why it’s unforgiving for any workload that isn't a perfect, predictable sine wave. www.scylladb.com/2025/07/22/w...

Big ScyllaDB Performance Gains on Google Cloud’s New Smaller Z3 Instances Benchmarks of ScyllaDB on Google Cloud’s new Z3 small instances achieved higher throughput and lower latency than N2 equivalents, especially under heavy load.

We evaluated the new Google Cloud Z3 instances against our current N2-based configurations using our standard weekly regression testing suite. See the results from measuring latency across a range of throughput levels. www.scylladb.com/2025/07/16/s...

Cache vs. Database: How Architecture Affects Performance Databases and caches are fundamentally different. Just comparing performance numbers isn’t enough.

Databases & caches were created for different purposes, so how far can you push each beyond its original intent? On @thenewstack.io, @felipemendes.dev & Alan Kasindorf examine this question & what it means for developers with performance-sensitive use cases. thenewstack.io/cache-vs-dat...
