Field Notes
Published on
These notes focus on decisions and tradeoffs rather than a sequence of commands. Pair them with a lab when you want to test an idea in a small environment.
Engineering practice
- Connect release tags, IaC, and automated tests: How one delivery contract connected CI/CD, AWS and GCP deployment, system tests, and an on-premises release.
- Shorten the CI feedback loop: Which timings and failure signals help a team improve a pipeline?
- Use AI-assisted development with clear checks: A workflow for proposing, reviewing, and verifying AI-generated changes.
- Choose between Cloudflare Tunnel and Mesh: Match application access or private network connectivity to the traffic a system needs.
