Sam Newman discusses the concept of progressive collapse in civil engineering and how it applies to distributed systems. Using real-world examples - from the 1968 Ronan Point tower failure to AWS outages - he shares crucial resilience engineering strategies for software leaders. Learn how to strengthen components, isolate failures, and reduce interconnections to prevent catastrophic cascades. By Sam Newman

Cloudflare has migrated cdnjs, its open source CDN for JavaScript and CSS libraries, to its Developer Platform. The new architecture uses Workers, R2, KV, Workflows, Queues, Durable Objects and Containers, consolidating publishing and delivery infrastructure while preserving package contents, URLs and SRI hashes at a scale of 9 billion requests per day.

Canva redesigned session revocation infrastructure to support 100M active sessions while reducing database lookups. The architecture uses Amazon S3 for durable revocation records and distributes compact, in-memory indexes to application gateways. Canva said the design improved deployment speed, reduced database infrastructure requirements, and cut the revocation cache memory footprint by 87.5%. By Leela Kumili

Wiz Research disclosed CosmosEscape, a chain that escaped Azure Cosmos DB's Gremlin sandbox and reached a platform-wide key granting read and write access to every database on the service. Microsoft blocked the entry point within two days but took until July 2026 to remove the key. Practitioners debated shared responsibility and what that rearchitecture actually cost.

AWS Lambda can now reference deployment packages directly in customer-owned S3 buckets, removing the per-Region code storage quota and raising the managed default from 75 GB to 300 GB. Per-function package limits are unchanged, and UpdateFunctionCode is still required after replacing an object. Terraform provider support remains an open enhancement request. By Steef-Jan Wiggers

Airbus selected Scaleway as its sovereign cloud provider after a tender that scored protection against non-European extraterritorial legislation alongside technical capability. Airbus frames it as complementing multi-cloud, not exiting AWS. Practitioners note the pattern is spreading past hyperscalers to small US SaaS vendors, and that sovereignty claims still require verifiable controls. By Steef-Jan Wiggers

DoorDash has developed Entity Cache, a transparent proxy caching platform built on Envoy and Valkey to reduce redundant service-to-service requests across its microservices architecture. Operating within DoorDash’s service mesh, the platform serves over 1.5M requests per second with 99.99999% availability through caching, event-driven invalidation, failure handling, and performance optimizations.

A three-person agency received a $14,000 AWS bill in one day after attackers extracted static access keys and burned Claude invocations on Bedrock. Combined with May's DN42 incident, where an autonomous agent provisioned $6,531 of oversized infrastructure in 24 hours, practitioners warn that cloud billing lags roughly a day behind agent-speed spend.

Cloudflare and AWS both implemented x402 stablecoin micropayments at their edge networks within two weeks. The open protocol under the Linux Foundation revives HTTP 402 for agent-to-service payments with sub-cent transaction costs. Coinbase reports 169 million transactions in year one. Enterprise tax and invoicing gaps remain unresolved. By Steef-Jan Wiggers

Oracle halved the Always Free Ampere A1 compute allowance from 4 OCPUs and 24 GB RAM to 2 OCPUs and 12 GB RAM with no public announcement. Support agents gave conflicting answers on whether PAYG accounts are affected. Documentation states the new limits apply to "all tenancies" while support emails say only free-tier accounts.

Apple chose Google Cloud to run Private Cloud Compute outside its own data centers for the first time, using NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, Intel TDX, and Google's Titan chip. Apple maintains an independent append-only hardware ledger and dual-vendor attestation roots. AWS and Azure are not part of the collaboration. By Steef-Jan Wiggers

AWS launched Lambda MicroVMs, a new serverless compute primitive that runs each user session or AI agent in its own Firecracker virtual machine with hardware-level isolation, snapshot-based rapid launch, and state preservation for up to eight hours. Reddit community analysis found the minimum setup costs $3.03/day, roughly 9x Fargate spot pricing. By Steef-Jan Wiggers

Slack has outlined how its AI serving infrastructure evolved through four distinct phases, moving from a self-managed Amazon SageMaker deployment to a multi-cloud architecture spanning AWS Bedrock and Google Cloud Vertex AI. By Matt Foster

Google Cloud's automated systems suspended Railway's production account without notice, triggering an eight-hour platform-wide outage affecting 3 million users. The cascade took down workloads across all providers including AWS and bare metal because Railway's control plane was hosted on GCP. Railway is demoting GCP to backup-only status. By Steef-Jan Wiggers
