- How Netflix Accurately Attributes eBPF Flow Logs
In a previous blog post, we described how Netflix uses eBPF to capture TCP flow logs at scale for enhanced cloud network insights. In this post, we delve deeper into how Netflix solved a core problem: accurately attributing flow IP addresses to workload identities.
- Going beyond singleton, scoped, and transient lifetimes—tenant, pooled, and drifter
In this post I first briefly describe the standard lifetimes available in the .NET DI container. I then briefly describe the three hypothetical lifetimes described in the podcast. Finally, I show how you could implement one of these lifetimes in practice. In the next post I show a possible implementation for the remaining lifetime.

- Enhancing Search Capabilities in SQL Server and Azure SQL with Hybrid Search and RRF Re-Ranking
In today’s data-driven world, delivering precise and contextually relevant search results is critical. SQL Server and Azure SQL Database now enable this through Hybrid Search—a technique that combines traditional full-text search with modern vector similarity search. This allows developers to build intelligent, AI-powered search experiences directly inside the database engine.
