- Sep 12De-Clouding to the Edge: Architectural Migration from Vercel/Neon to Cloudflare Workers & D1
How we decommissioned our centralized US-East Postgres cluster and Node.js serverless tier, eradicated $4,200/mo in transit egress, suppressed p99 tail latency from 340ms to 18ms, and replicated SQLite primitives across 310+ edge locations.
- Aug 15High-Availability DNS Sync & UniFi Policy-Based WireGuard Routing
Eliminating single points of failure in edge homelab architecture with automated adguardhome-sync replication and selective egress steering across multi-tunnel WireGuard interfaces on UniFi Gateway Max.
- Jul 20Hardening the Homelab: Enterprise UniFi Topology, Encrypted DNS & Policy Routing
A pragmatic systems blueprint for segmenting IoT, DMZ, and secure clusters with strict egress ACLs, mutual TLS inter-service routing, and automated WAN failover.
