How Netflix turns GPU failures into a manageable distributed systems problem
GPU failures are a fact of life at Netflix's scale, but the company refuses to let them derail AI training. Instead of treating hardware faults as crises, Netflix builds layered health checks, automated remediation, and fault-tolerant training into a reliability platform. It turns a hardware problem into a manageable distributed systems challenge.

When Tools Break, Your AI Agent Keeps Writing Confident Answers
When a tool fails, most systems go silent. But an AI agent built for production doesn't stop, it keeps writing confident answers from nothing, even as the dashboard stays green. That resilience is the point. For a deeper look at keeping these agents reliable, our guide on adding practical guardrails with Gemma 4 and Ollama is a natural next step.
How DoorDash Built a Proxy Cache Handling 1.5 Million Requests per Second
DoorDash's Entity Cache is a masterclass in handling scale without drama. Serving over 1.5 million requests per second with 99.99999% availability, the platform uses Envoy and Valkey to cut redundant service-to-service calls across its microservices. That's not just impressive; it's the kind of quiet reliability that keeps complex systems humming. By leaning on event-driven invalidation and smart failure handling, DoorDash shows how transparent caching can transform performance. For teams wrestling with similar growth, this approach offers a practical, forward-thinking path worth exploring.
