This is not a "Claude Code is bad, everyone should switch" article. I still use Claude Code at work, and if cost were less of a factor in my personal setup, I would probably be using both more actively. If you're already comfort
Hello everyone! I wanted to write this article to share my experience with agentic coding without Claude and Codex, I started dabbling with agentic coding a few months ago when Claude had decent limits on the 20$ plan, You prompt the agent: I want e2e tests, and it will study the codebase and implement them. When I've started hitting limits on Claude code, and this is not a secret that they reduc
Overview Let's get our hands dirty. This part covers the full setup and the actual demo: deploy PayLedger to both regions, wire up Route 53 failover, configure the Agent Space, inject three simultaneous faults, and walk through exactly what the agent found. Quick recap from Part 1: PayLedger is a demo payment ledger deployed to ap-southeast-1 (primary) and ap-northeast-1 (secondary) with Route 5
Overview I finished the DR Toolkit thinking I had covered the important parts of disaster recovery: runbooks, RTO/RPO targets, post-mortems. Then I mapped out the actual incident lifecycle and realized everything I built sits at the edges. The middle part (detecting the incident, correlating signals across regions, finding the root cause while the primary region is actively failing) was not cove
Every observability vendor has bolted "AI" to their landing page. Half of those features are genuine improvements. The other half are autocomplete in a costume. After a few years of running these tools across enterprise estates, here is where AI-augmented SRE actually pays off, where it doesn't, and what we'd advise teams adopting it today. The single most defensible use case. A medium-sized estat
