NewMost MCP tutorials stop at hello-world. Then you try to run one on the open internet with real auth, real load, and real attackers, and every assumption breaks. Here are the five design decisions that actually decide whether your server survives production.
NewMCP took off faster than anyone's threat model. We wired arbitrary third-party tools straight into models that can't tell an instruction from data, then acted surprised when tool poisoning hit 72.8 percent and Anthropic's own Inspector shipped a CVSS 9.4 RCE. Here's the real attack surface, and what governance is finally starting to look like.
Everyone repeats that VMs virtualize hardware and containers virtualize the OS. True, but it hides the real thing. A container isn't a tiny VM. It's a normal process on the host with blinders on, fenced off by two Linux kernel features.
A CDN puts copies of your content on servers near your users so the bytes travel a short distance instead of crossing an ocean every request. The thing most people miss: the bottleneck usually isn't bandwidth, it's latency, and latency is bounded by the speed of light.
Containers won a decade ago. The next unit of deployment is smaller, boots in microseconds, and nobody's calling it a container. It's the WebAssembly Component Model plus WASI Preview 2, and it just got native async in WASI 0.3.
The deadlines are set, the standards are final, and 91% of businesses still have no roadmap. The uncomfortable truth is that you can't migrate what you can't see, so the first task isn't picking an algorithm, it's building an inventory of every place you use crypto.
A deep technical guide to building low-latency, globally distributed systems on edge runtimes, from CDN functions to stateful Durable Objects.
Hard-won lessons on running Kubernetes at scale, from cluster architecture and RBAC to cost optimization and real production pitfalls.
GPUs get the headlines, but inference serving, networking, and observability are where AI systems actually win or lose. Here's what the stack looks like now.
