About
What this site is, and where to find the rest.
Systems is where zekhoi writes about engineering problems, architecture and system design. Every entry is meant to show the reasoning: the problem, the constraints, the options that were considered, the decision and what it cost.
What is here
- Case studies: Deep dives into one system: context, architecture, what worked and what I would change.
- Decisions: Short decision records: context, options, the decision and its consequences.
- Designs: System design write-ups of general problems, grounded in real constraints.
- Problems: Bugs and incidents: symptoms, investigation, root cause and fix.
- Notes: Short entries: a lesson, a pattern or a reference.
