Building Unified Observability Storage with Rust
In modern distributed systems, the storage and processing of observability data has become a critical component of infrastructure. As systems scale, traditional log and trace storage solutions face increasingly complex challenges. As observability technology continues to evolve, unified storage architecture will become the new technical standard.
The Era of Exploration
Some studies suggest that, at current token‑consumption rates, frontier labs could exhaust the highest‑quality English web text well before the decade ends. Even if those projections prove overly pessimistic, one fact is clear: today’s models consume data far faster than humans can produce it.

Principles of Building AI Agents
Rapid advances in LLMs have made new kinds of AI applications, known as agents, possible. The book covers everything you need to get started building AI agents and applications, such as: the basics of choosing a model, prompt engineering 101, building your first agent, workflows and evals, and even serverless deployment.
Benchmarking Large Codebase Search
This benchmark isolates the search layer and ignores code-generation quality. Each tool ultimately calls the same foundation models (Anthropic, Google, or OpenAI), so code generation is largely similar. Real differentiation comes from the user experience and the search.
