State Without a Landlord (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Workflows function as an append-only log, and so does HyperCore. Luca explored that line of inquiry and, as a result, produced a 50-page paper in which agent state is replicated peer-to-peer, without the need for a central repository or a cloud provider in the middle, and all of it runs entirely within your own network. This episode explains the origin of the idea, how the various components fit together, and tells the enterprise why it should question the fact that its agentic workloads are lea
Imagine a world where npm... (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if you could execute a package without ever unzipping it? What if npm had no central server, just a peer-to-peer mesh with cryptographic integrity baked in? No slides, no answers, no agenda. Just Luca Maraschi and Matteo Collina following the current wave of NPM, and GitHub outages to their logical conclusion: maybe it's time to imagine a completely different world.
The HTTP/2 Bugs Hiding in Plain Sight (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most develpors skip release notes. You update a library, the tests pass, you deploy, and everything seems fine. Later, someone spots that 0.025% of requests are failing; not enough to set off alarms, but too steady to ignore. This is what happens with the HTTP/2 upgrade you might not have noticed. Undici 8 and Node 26 now automatically use HTTP/2 if the server prefers it, so if your internal load balancer advertises HTTP/2, you’ve switched over without changing any code. In this episode of The N
Will AI Kill the Framework? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There's a growing belief that AI-generated code is so fast and cheap that foundational, general-purpose tools are obsolete. The argument goes: why optimize for everyone when you can generate code tailored to each workload? Some claim frameworks are outdated and the future is ad-hoc and disposable. Luca and Matteo challenge this view with benchmarks, white papers, and production experience. In this episode of The Node (and more) Banter, Luca Maraschi and Matteo Collina argue that AI increases the
Every Week the Same Spike. Every Week Your Autoscaler Is Surprised. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every Friday evening, your traffic goes up. Each weekday morning, your app becomes active again. Overnight, things slow down. Your autoscaler has seen this pattern many times, but tomorrow it will act like it’s new. It waits for a metric to cross a threshold, then starts adding capacity, which means you get a period of slower performance while the pods catch up. The real issue isn’t the pattern; it’s that the system keeps forgetting. In this episode of The Node (and more) Banter, Luca Maraschi a
