At 3:17 AM on a Tuesday in Q3 2024, our production Kotlin 2.0 microservice fleet hit a 92% memory utilization threshold across 140 nodes, traced to a silent coroutine leak in Ktor 2.2’s request pipeline that had been bleeding 12MB of heap per second for 72 hours. We lost $14k in SLO credits before we found the root cause. A Couple Million Lines of Haskell: Production Engineering at Mercury (78 p
Comparison: Haystack 2.0 vs. RAGatouille 0.3 for Building High-Accuracy RAG Pipelines for Developer Docs Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has become the standard for building LLM-powered tools that answer questions using private or domain-specific data. For developer documentation (dev docs) — which includes technical jargon, versioned APIs, code snippets, and structured reference material —
