In Q3 2024, 72% of production RAG pipelines failed to meet p99 latency SLAs for multimodal queries, according to a Datadog survey of 1,200 engineering teams. Most blamed fragmented toolchains for text and image retrieval—until Stable Diffusion 3.0’s embedding API and Llama 4’s 1M-token context window changed the game. This is the definitive guide to building unified multimodal RAG pipelines that c

This isn't an anti-Go post. Go is a great language. This is about what I want to understand. I just finished building an L7 HTTP load balancer in Go. It accepts connections. It parses HTTP headers. It forwards requests to backend servers using round-robin. It handles concurrent connections with goroutines. It has health checks. It works. And somewhere in the middle of it working, I realized I didn
Most developers use malloc without thinking much about what happens underneath. This project is an attempt to explore that layer by building a memory allocator from scratch in C. The allocator implements malloc, free, calloc, and realloc without relying on libc’s heap functions. It focuses on: Thread safety Per-thread caching (tcache) Efficient free block management using bins mmap-based memory g
