Distributed Tracing in Production Go Services on AWS ECS

Once you have more than two Go services talking to each other on ECS, a slow request becomes a needle in a haystack.

Soft Deletes in Multi-Tenant PostgreSQL: Patterns and Pitfalls

Soft deletes look simple: add a deleted_at column, filter on NULL, done. In a multi-tenant PostgreSQL database at scale, the naive implementation creates index bloat, breaks your Row Level Security policies, and leaks deleted data in COUNT queries. This post covers the correct patterns and the specific PostgreSQL behaviors you need to know before shipping soft deletes to production.
