Why I reimplemented LVM (with worse guarantees)

Our microVMs launch in under a second, and assembling their block devices in parallel put LVM's roughly 100ms volume group-wide lock directly in the critical path. We kept the kernel's device-mapper, wrote our own control plane and gave up crash safety our ephemeral workloads never needed, making allocation roughly 100x faster.

How I delegate the work, not my judgment

Agents can investigate, plan, and implement faster than I can, but reading a final diff is not the same as understanding why the system works the way it does. I own how the system behaves in production, so I want to keep building my intuition about it.

Why SOCI belongs in the build

Most of a large container's startup goes to pulling and decompressing files it never reads to boot. SOCI makes the image seekable so the runtime loads only the bytes it needs, and Depot writes that index during the build, so the image can lazy-load the instant it's pushed.

GitHub is the wrong shape for this new world

GitHub isn't just falling short on performance and reliability. The whole collaboration paradigm is the wrong shape for how we build software now.

Now available: Test results in your CI jobs

Report JUnit from your Depot CI or Depot GitHub Actions jobs to see failures in context. A single command runs your suite and uploads the report. Split suites by historical timing and they'll automatically rebalance over time.

Improving system safety with Temporal Logic of Actions (TLA+)

Formal verification never seemed worth it: writing a faithful TLA+ spec took too long. But now agents can write the spec from your code. We tried it on the rebuilt Depot Registry garbage collector, and the model checker found something our tests and reviews didn't: a race that could delete live data.

Why your team processes suck

A team process without a principle underneath it is a real problem. Here's why the "why" is worth protecting as you scale.
