We made the call to pause all releases during the incident to avoid cascading risks, and thanks to our HA configuration, our platform remained fully operational throughout the event

It always surprises me to see startups limiting their hiring to cities like Seattle, SF, NYC, London, or Zurich.

The world is full of incredible engineering talent. In South Europe and LATAM, you can often build an entire team for the cost of a single engineer in those high-cost hubs.

I’ve built a community Genkit plugin for OpenTelemetry in Go

This plugin implements exporters for trace/span, metrics, and logs to match your observability stack.

👉 Check it out on GitHub: buff.ly/atOhoGC I’d love your feedback, bug reports, or contributions!

I've just updated Cardex to use Veo 3 Preview to make the cards live, and it works awesome!

🚀 Just dropped the AWS Bedrock plugin for Genkit in Go!

After building it for TypeScript, I couldn't resist bringing the same power to the Go ecosystem. Now you can integrate AWS Bedrock's AI models into your Go applications with Genkit's developer-friendly framework.
