Three years ago, I inherited a distributed system that processed insurance claims across twelve microservices. The orchestration logic lived in a tangled web of message queues, retry handlers, and compensating transactions scattered across multiple codebases. When something failed—and in distributed systems, something always fails—debugging meant correlating logs across a dozen services while the business waited… Continue reading

Generative AI in Healthcare: Revolutionizing Patient Care
The first time I witnessed a generative AI system accurately synthesize a patient’s complex medical history into actionable clinical insights, I understood we were entering a new era of healthcare delivery. After two decades of architecting enterprise systems across industries, I can say that healthcare presents both the greatest challenges and the most profound opportunities… Continue reading
Scaling Up Your Pods: How Horizontal Pod Autoscaling Wins
After two decades of managing containerized workloads across production environments, I’ve come to appreciate that the difference between a good Kubernetes deployment and a great one often comes down to how intelligently it responds to changing demand. Horizontal Pod Autoscaling (HPA) represents one of those fundamental capabilities that separates reactive operations from proactive infrastructure management.… Continue reading
Deep Dives into EKS Monitoring and Observability with CDKv2
Running production workloads on Amazon EKS demands more than basic health checks. After managing dozens of Kubernetes clusters across various industries, I’ve learned that the difference between a resilient system and a fragile one often comes down to how deeply you can see into your infrastructure. This guide shares the observability patterns and CDK-based automation… Continue reading
