Sovereign failover – Design for digital sovereignty using the AWS European Sovereign Cloud

Organizations operating across multiple jurisdictions need to consider the impact of regulatory changes or geopolitical events on their access to cloud infrastructure. This post explains how to design failover architectures that span AWS partitions—including the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, AWS GovCloud (US) and other AWS Regions in the global infrastructure — so workloads can continue operating when sovereignty requirements shift. Although the AWS European Sovereign Cloud is designed to h

Azure Local LENS workbook—deep insights at scale, in minutes

Azure Local at scale needs fleet-level visibilityAs Azure Local deployments grow from a handful of instances to hundreds (or even thousands), the operational questions change. You’re no longer troubleshooting a single environment—you’re looking for patterns across your entire fleet: Which sites are trending with a specific health issue? Where are workload deployments increasing over time, do we have enough capacity available? Which clusters are outliers compared to the rest?Today we’re sharing A

A Lightweight, Non-Intrusive Approach to Website Monitoring (Ops Perspective)

I’m a Linux ops engineer working in the DevOps&#x2F;SRE space. and over the past few months, I’ve been working on a small *website monitoring* side project in my spare time: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;inostop.com&#x2F;en&#x2F;Most of the monitoring and ops tools I’ve built before were used internally within companies. This is my first attempt to turn a relatively complete tool into something publicly usable.In day-to-day operations, website monitoring usually involves:- Infrastructure monitoring - Appl

Ask HN: DDD was a great debugger – what would a modern equivalent look like?

I’ve always thought that DDD was a surprisingly good debugger for its time.It made program execution feel visible: stacks, data, and control flow were all there at once. You could really “see” what the program was doing.At the same time, it’s clearly a product of a different era:– single-process– mostly synchronous code– no real notion of concurrency or async– dated UI and interaction modelToday we debug very different systems: multithreaded code, async runtimes, long-running services, distribut

Show HN: Cuttlefish – 40ns causal consistency using algebra instead of consensus

Distributed systems usually pay milliseconds for correctness because they define correctness as execution order.This project takes a different stance: correctness is a property of algebra, not time.If operations commute, you don’t need coordination. If they don’t, the system tells you at admission time, in nanoseconds.Cuttlefish is a coordination-free state kernel that enforces strict invariants with causal consistency at ~40ns end-to-end (L1-cache scale), zero consensus, zero locks, zero heap i

HMP: A Cognitive Application Protocol for Agent Networks

HMP (HyperCortex Mesh Protocol) is an experimental application-layer protocol for agent networks.Many agent protocols focus on identity, transport, and discovery, but leave long-term semantic continuity, memory representation, and contextual relevance unspecified. HMP explores a structured approach to these areas.Core ideas: * Immutable cognitive containers * Proof-chains for temporal integrity * Resonance scoring to help agents maintain contextual relevance * Semantic links between cognitive ar

Show HN: SimpleNet – A modern BBS moderated by local LLMs

Hi HN,I’ve always missed the high-signal, community-centric feel of old-school Bulletin Board Systems, but the moderation overhead for small communities is usually what kills them. I built SimpleNet to see if we could bring back the BBS vibe using modern tech.The Tech Stack: The core of the platform is a modern BBS architecture, but the &quot;secret sauce&quot; is the moderation layer. Instead of relying on big-tech APIs or an army of volunteers, I’m using open source LLMs to assist with content

Ask HN: How much emphasis to put on unit testing and when?

I&#x27;m wondering if a shift has occurred. When I started as a junior software engineer, over a decade ago, I learned about unit testing, integration testing, system testing. The whole codebase we worked on was thoroughly unit tested, and had layers of integration tests and system tests as well. I&#x27;ve worked for other employers since and in some cases any kind of automated testing was completely absent. Still, the message I got when reading and keeping up with best practices was: unit test

Show HN: Noether – ML framework to train physical engineering models

I am a software engineer at Emmi AI and we just released the open source framework we are using to train large-scale surrogate ML models.Our aim was to lower the entry-barrier for Engineering AI, to get the power of modern deep learning into classical engineering.Engineering and simulation data such as what is used for example in Computational Fluid Dynamics is of high-cardinality. Single examples can be up point clouds with multiple millions of points, requiring distinct approaches to models ar

Announcing the AWS Digital Sovereignty Well-Architected Lens

As organizations accelerate cloud adoption, meeting digital sovereignty requirements has become essential to build trust with customers and regulators worldwide. The challenge isn’t whether to adopt the cloud—it’s how to do so while meeting sovereignty requirements, using a multidisciplinary approach. Even though requirements vary by geography, organizations commonly address them through technical and operational controls applied consistently at scale. Controls address specific needs related to

How Artera enhances prostate cancer diagnostics using AWS

This post was co-written with Hariharan Ananthakrishnan from Artera. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are transforming cancer diagnosis and treatment, enabling faster and more accurate decisions for patients. One company at the forefront of this transformation is Artera, a precision medicine company developing an AI-powered platform for cancer treatment planning. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted De Novo authorization for the ArteraAI Prostate, establi

Why orchestrators become a bottleneck in multi-agent AI

Complex user tasks often need multiple AI agents working together, not just a single assistant. That’s what agent collaboration enables. Each agent has its own specialism - planning, fetching, checking, summarising - and they work in tandem to get the job done. The experience feels intelligent and joined-up, not monolithic or linear. But making that work means more than prompt chaining or orchestration logic. It requires shared state, reliable coordination, and user-visible progress as agents br

My GenAI development workflow: Idea to Code

Idea to Code is my GenAI-based development workflow.For example, I recently used this workflow to implement distributed tracing support for the Eventuate platform using Micrometer Tracing: eventuate-tram-spring-micrometer-tracing.The starting point was this idea: The eventuate-tram-spring-cloud-sleuth project provides distributed tracing support for the Eventuate Framework. However, Spring Cloud Sleuth has been deprecated and replaced by Micrometer Tracing (https://micrometer.io/docs/tracing).
