Instrumenting Redis for Structural Leak Detection: A jemalloc Deep Dive
Instrumented Redis 7.2 with drainability profiling to measure jemalloc slab fragmentation. Found critical asymmetric accounting bug, fixed with symmetric fastpath instrumentation. Final result: deleting 50% of keys freed 195K objects but achieved 0% drainability - genuine structural fragmentation detected and validated.
Catching Structural Memory Leaks: A Temporal-Slab Case Study
From theory to practice: integrating drainability profiling into temporal-slab. See validation results (DSR = 1.0 - p), diagnostic mode pinpointing slab_lib.c:1829, and step-by-step integration guide for your allocator.
You Don't Know JSON: Part 1 - Origins, Evolution, and the Cracks in the Foundation
Everyone thinks they know JSON. But do you know why it was created, what problems it solved, and more importantly - what problems it created? Part 1 explores JSON’s origins, its triumph over XML, and the fundamental weaknesses that spawned an entire ecosystem of extensions.
You Don't Know JSON: Part 2 - JSON Schema and the Art of Validation
JSON lacks types and validation - any structure parses successfully. JSON Schema solves this by adding a validation layer without changing JSON itself. Learn how to define schemas, validate at runtime, generate code, and build type-safe APIs.
