We're a day away from Atlassian Unleash and we've built something special to take the audience experience to the next level.
We’ve built a first-of-a-kind Atlassian Unleash app - AI-powered companion to put you in control of your conference experience at Atlassian Unleash.

There has been an increase in family travel after our son moved to US for studies. The experience with Online Travel Portals in India is vastly varied. I now book only on @Cleartrip for their cust. support, especially if you need to change anything. Much better than @makemytrip

Working on enabling move to polyglot data stores (via the CQRS pattern). DM me if you like to work on similar problems and have a design that you think works. See requirements below

I just love this guy for his take on Aadhaar and UPI, especially the comment that whoever built these have never coded in their life :)

@makemytripcare @makemytripcare sending you the details via DM

#MakeMyTrip has such poor experience when it comes to flight cancellations. The IVR leads to nowhere and the portal does not allow to cancel. There is no way to escalate. Very poor customer experience. Bookings are a one-way street. @makemytripcare @makemytrip

A different, maybe debatable, take on why Return to Work may be good for you : https://t.co/SM5uQYFfgU

Ramping up gRPC adoption through our OSS container : https://t.co/iuEWCN7KSM - our key Order management service during this BBD. Works like a charm!

[Regunath B @RegunathB]

An enjoyable watch that captures all the key people, timeline of events, anecdotes and so far untold story of Aadhaar. There are a few more untold episodes in this saga - known only to people who worked on the system :) https://t.co/OIRaXHLhB9

@PetrSolc_ Tafe's service rating is a scam - scale of 1-10, 1-8 being bad, 9 good and 10 excellent. And guess what, they goad you to give 9 or 10 for shabby service. Skoda cars deserve a better service partner than Tafe. Your brand suffers due to their incompetency.

[Regunath B @RegunathB]

@SkodaIndia
you have a really good car in the Kushaq. Pity, the bad service from
@SkodaTafe
makes ownership a pain - conveniently exhaust warranty period to fix issues and make customers pay for production defects. Time to look around and learn from the likes of
@ToyotaIndia

Hobby? You can't be serious, or maybe.... https://t.co/AZiiwKsIA3

[Regunath B @RegunathB]

We are doing this again. No. of systems and capabilities have evolved so much over the years - traffic prioritisation, ELB failover, multi-site data replication etc. This time again the site/services must be operational as we move.

And, when India slept, Flipkart moved to a new home - 1250 KM away. Largest engineering effort in company's history.

[4/n] On the return, their departure gates had zero passenger amenities. No food stalls and hardly any options for Transit passengers. #KLIA2 is a totally cr**ppy airport, period. Both the place and the people who run it.

[Regunath B @RegunathB]

[1/n] #RacialProfiling and other bad experiences in Kuala Lumpur #KLIA2 airport
During international transfer in KLIA2 from India to Indonesia, all Indian passport travellers were checked by uniformed police - passports were checked.

[Regunath B @RegunathB]

[3/n] Makes me wonder why they were so bothered about passengers who were in Transit? We weren't even entering their god-damned country. Again, our bags were scanned and my 79 year old dad was questioned about where he was going, was he part of family and if booked our hotels!!

[Regunath B @RegunathB]

Native interfaces are tricky. Dreaded JNI & now see Cgo is no better - we got bitten by tail(p99) latencies in #dkv. Thankfully #BadgerDB, written in Go, as alternate storage engine for reads(slaves), works. Also plan to implement Request Hedging as defined in 'Tail at scale'

[Regunath B @RegunathB]

A good one on NFTs, Bitcoin and Blockchain - starts with the 2008 financial crisis as the backdrop and moves on to the rise of NFTs and the problems there. Well researched POV : https://t.co/PxlzNYDQU7

[Regunath B @RegunathB]

[4/n] Envoy as a very capable data aware routing Sidecar (no more custom client) as implemented in #dkv https://t.co/glraoUJoCG

[Regunath B @RegunathB]

[1/n] Sidecars in high throughput data access systems.
Istio and Envoy provide network abstraction in service topologies. Do Sidecars play a role in data access? Thread on how we use them to scale upto 5M data read requests per second.

[Regunath B @RegunathB]

[3/n] SmartClient/Sidecar based topology
Sidecar is a custom library/process running on service app nodes. Data server co-locate service and a subset/range of data. Metadata server holds data placement information.
