THE ENGINEERING NOTEBOOK
Notes on redirects, Akamai, observability, and AI. I focus on how things work, what can go wrong, and what is worth checking before a change.
How to design narrow operations, approvals, and audit records for AI-assisted infrastructure work.
Freshness, permissions, and evidence matter more than a convincing answer from stale context.
A small evaluation approach for infrastructure summaries, runbook assistants, and configuration review.
A practical way to decide when a fixed workflow is enough and when an agent is justified.
How to control telemetry volume without removing the clues the next incident will need.
How denominators, error budgets, and a defined response make alerts more useful.
How correlation fields help distinguish a plausible explanation from evidence about the same operation.
A practical parsing contract for AEM and Dispatcher logs, including multiline errors and environment identity.
A dashboard layout for separating visitor impact, delivery problems, and application errors.
Release recovery needs compatible data, a known-good artifact, and a decision rule.
How to turn security requirements into usable platform defaults with clear exception paths.
How a performance setting can change correctness, privacy, and origin capacity.
A practical approach to investigating false positives without turning a temporary workaround into a permanent blind spot.
A request matrix that catches scope mistakes before a delivery configuration reaches visitors.
Why edge configuration deserves the same review discipline as application code.
How to align internal links, sitemaps, canonical hints, and actual HTTP behavior.
A reviewable migration plan, from URL inventory and test cases to post-launch monitoring.
What link equity really means during a URL change, and why the destination matters as much as the status code.
