Hi there,
I like infrastructure that gives you fewer reasons to stare at it. This month, we made two parts of the Lumenrack console better: live logs load faster, and the usage and limits area is clearer about what you’re spending and what your plan allows. Less waiting for an answer, less hunting for one.
We also took checkpoint restores on Lumenrack Functions from minutes to seconds. That’s the kind of change I love: the unit on the stopwatch changes, not just the number.
Then Ilse Marchetti, our CTO, took a piece of the Beacon global router and put it in the browser. Her TypeScript project, beaconlite, lets you play with routing and failover rather than just read about them.
I went in the other direction: toward the wires. I started the little rack, a hardware kit for learning cluster networking from the wire up. Four Raspberry Pis and a managed switch make a useful place to ask embarrassingly basic questions. I think those are often the best ones.
