Introducing Cased, now with interactive agents that do the busywork of DevOps for you. Cased is always-on: fixing problems like infrastructure drift, finding cost savings in AWS, and helping when deploys go wrong. Check out just some of what Cased can do:
Gotta go fast
.@supabase now runs their CI on us. What’s your excuse? Customer story coming soon.
blacksmith is as fast as they say, apparently. the bottom one is build time on native gh runners and the top one is on blacksmith

Blacksmith (@useblacksmith) just launched a blazing-fast caching service for GitHub Actions — up to 10x faster than GitHub's own. To achieve this, the team reverse-engineered the GitHub Actions cache and much more. Here’s how they did it: blacksmith.sh/blog/cache
We reverse-engineered GitHub Actions cache to make it fast. For the full story, check out our deep dive below.
Great to talk with Aayush -- I loved Blacksmith's recent post on multi-tenancy economics, and he had a bunch of good thoughts on cloud economics generally. Very interesting to see them choose Laravel for their control plane! Deeply technical team (lots of Cockroach DB + systems…

Mini team dinner, late in SF. The last ones lingering as the restaurant closed.

.@CeleryOrg → Blacksmith: 4x faster GitHub Actions, 4x higher contribution rate. “After switching to Blacksmith, everything else just feels primitive.” @smilingnosrati, Tech Lead at @CeleryOrg. Here’s the story of how Celery, the first open source project we sponsored, stopped…
Agentic coding is putting massive pressure on CI and testing: 1. Overall build times are exploding as LLMs add far more tests than humans typically do, along with overall velocity increasing 2. LLMs need good tests to be successful, test quality more important than ever

Today, we’re launching a logging platform for GitHub Actions, built with @ClickHouseDB. Here’s how we did it: - N-gram Bloom filter index for fast search - ReplacingMergeTree + async inserts for deduplication - Lucene-inspired query language compiled to SQL - Materialized…
Turso, the next evolution of SQLite (previously codenamed "Limbo") reaches its first alpha milestone and first official release. We are so confident in our foundations, that we are offering you $1,000 if you find any data corruption bugs through our partnership with @algoraio…
