Notes

Occasional writing about infrastructure and tooling.

Keeping build caches warm across CI runners

A short write-up on shared cache volumes, why naive key strategies thrash, and the cost of a cold restore on a mid-size monorepo.

Reading query plans without guessing

Notes on interpreting planner output, when row estimates drift, and the handful of statistics settings that actually move the needle.

Log retention that does not bankrupt you

Sampling, structured fields, and tiering to cold storage. Mostly a record of what did not work the first two times.
