Announcing Rustup 1.24.0
Shortly after publishing the release we got reports of a regression preventing users from running rustfmt and cargo fmt after upgrading to Rustup 1.24.0. To limit the damage we reverted the release to version 1.23.1. If you have been affected by this issue you can revert to version 1.23.1 by

Reverse debugging at scale
Say you receive an email notification that a service is crashing just after your last code change deploys. The crash happens in only 0.1 percent of the servers where it runs. But you’re at a large-scale company, so 0.1 percent equals thousands of servers — and this issue is going to be hard to

Load Testing with Koi Pond
Complex systems are difficult to reason about at scale; we often can’t accurately extrapolate system behavior and performance, so we need to derive that data empirically. We use load testing to do just that: find the limits of our systems and weed out bugs at a large scale in a controlled
