opensre We injected real faults into live YugabyteDB and Aerospike clusters and let OpenSRE investigate them using a local MLX LLM. The evidence layer caught everything. Synthesis was another story. Full observations, numbers, and fixes.
opensre How we built read-only YugabyteDB and Aerospike diagnostic connectors for OpenSRE — the design decisions, the mocked suites that all passed, and the two real bugs live testing against a Kubernetes cluster caught anyway.
observability This stack generates a lot of artifacts — 36 metric families on the proxy alone, another 40-odd on four exporters, spans, log streams, feedback scores, and alerts. And it is tested with four different rigs. This post is the reference map: what is generated, where each thing goes, and how the load
testing A practical framework covering every layer — from fast unit tests to full-stack E2E — and the quality gates that make merging safe.
kri How we ensure a fleet management platform stays reliable across bootstraps, drift checks, and Salt operations — and where the gaps still are.
testing How to cut AI-assisted testing costs by 10× while getting better coverage — using a three-tier strategy that keeps screenshots out of your context window.
