We built bucket forking so agents can safely use tools and run experiments without corrupting shared environments, especially when running in parallel.

Learn how every agent gets an instant, isolated sandbox to test, iterate, and scale without conflicts.

Build better AI agents with bucket forking | Tigris Object Storage

Prevent rogue agent behavior by giving every agent an instant, isolated bucket fork—no data duplication, safe concurrency, and easy rollback with snapshots.

I could not be more excited about this. To our knowledge, the world's first open-source low-overhead always-on GPU profiler!

As always, zero-instrumentation and powered by #eBPF!

Wrote up some thoughts for how Okta is getting squeezed from all sides: squished by Rippling at the bottom, Msft at the top, and other markets and startups in the middle.
I hope you love some red string diagrams 🤣

The unbundling of Okta: are startups chipping away at Okta?

A guest post from Maya Kaczorowski who breaks down Okta’s competition and how Okta is not being unbundled, but rather squeezed from all sides.

ElectricSQL recently completed a 120-day reliability sprint. Our one goal: make our sync engine so boring-reliable you stop thinking about it and just build.

We chased every incident, fixed every user-reported bug, and made unglamorous work our priority. 🧵

Tanstack DB is a reactive client store for building super fast apps on sync.

Based on a TypeScript implementation of differential dataflow, it's type-safe, declarative, incrementally adoptable and insanely fast.

🔥 Have you ever stared at a flame graph wondering why your app is slow?

Using the new @PolarSignalsIO MCP, you can now ask "Why is my service slow?" and e.g. @anthropic.com's Claude Code or @cursor.com.web.brid.gy will analyze your production profiles and suggest code fixes.
