2018 was intense.
🔧 What I built:
- Multiple microservices now production-grade on Kubernetes
- Prototyped GraphQL gateway for mobile-facing API
- Adopted contract testing in CI pipeline
🧨 What I broke:
- Missed timeout configuration led to cascading failures
- Alert fatigue from poorly tuned thresholds
📚 What I learned:
- Infra as code maturity improves debugging
- Design-for-observability pays dividends
Onward to 2019!
