Engineering notes
Short records of what broke, what I misunderstood first and the decisions that made the system clearer.
I Traced Everything. That Made Langfuse Less Useful.
The point of observability is not to record every function. It is to make the system easier to understand when something goes wrong.
My Docker Image Was 4.7 GB. Kubernetes Made Me Care.
The container worked locally. A small GKE cluster made the cost of shipping every dependency impossible to ignore.
Why I Split Terraform in Two Instead of Fighting One Apply
Separating GKE infrastructure from Kubernetes bootstrap started as a workaround and ended up becoming a useful state boundary.
