PR Previews Don't Need Vercel: My Solution on a $5 VPS (pert.dev)
Let's preface this by admitting that the title is a little farcical - the fact that Vercel and other similar sites give you preview domains out of the box with no setup is a lovely feature. This blog is purely to show you that it's actually possible to configure these yourself, and furthermore, it's way easier than you might think!

I Didn't Need Kubernetes, and You Probably Don't Either (benhouston3d.com)
Kubernetes often represents the ultimate solution for container orchestration, but my experience has led me to leave it behind in favor of a simpler, cost-effective solution using Google Cloud Run. This transition has made my infrastructure projects easier to manage, more scalable, and significantly cheaper. Here’s why I made this choice and how Cloud Run offers a better fit for my needs going forward.

Build a serverless ACID database with this one neat trick (atomic PutIfAbsent) (eatonphil.com)
Delta Lake is an open protocol for serverless ACID databases. Due to its simplicity, scalability, and the number of open-source implementations, it's quickly becoming the DuckDB of serverless transactional databases. Iceberg is a contender too, and is similar in many ways. But since Delta Lake is simpler (simple != better) that's where we'll focus in this post.
