What We Know
Architecture Guild — principal engineers dissect every new cloud pattern (eBPF mesh, zonal‑shift, EKS blue‑green) and update audit checklists weekly.
Chaos Lab — monthly game‑day where we unleash new fault‑injection scripts (latency, packet loss, IAM deny) on sandbox stacks before clients see them.
