About
An independent publication about how software works beneath the surface.
The Deep Stack publishes in-depth articles about the systems beneath modern software: runtimes, databases, distributed systems, performance, and reliability.
Each article explains how a system behaves, why it behaves that way, and what those details mean for engineers.
AI can generate code quickly. Engineers still need to understand how software behaves, verify its correctness, and diagnose failures. Knowledge of the underlying systems helps them do that work.
Articles support their claims with measurements, experiments, source code, documentation, and research.
