🔎 The Code Review Pyramid
When it comes to code reviews, it’s a common phenomenon that there is much focus and long-winded discussions around mundane aspects like code formatting and style, whereas important aspects (does the code change do what it is supposed to do, is it performant, is it backward-compatible for existing clients, and many others) tend to get less attention.
To raise awareness for the issue and provide some guidance on aspects to focus on, I shared a small visual on Twitter the other day, which I called the "Code Review Pyramid". Its intention is to help put focus on those parts which matter the most during a code review (in my opinion, anyway), and also on which parts could and should be automated.
🦄 How to scale a unicorn-building engineering team (and stay sane)
The most common question I get asked by people familiar with my recent journey is: how the hell did you go from a team of 1 (Hi Dima!) to a 25-person engineering group (hey everybody else!) in under a year and a half?
This is the story behind one of Melio’s engineering groups, and how we’re building one of the most world-class teams and changing the conversation about payments.
In this post, I’ll take a deep dive into our new team-scaling strategy step-by-step, from planning to execution.
💵 Save big by temporarily suspending unneeded Compute Engine VMs—now GA

📈 How to Best Use MTT* Metrics to Optimize Your Incident Response
An incident is an unplanned disruption or degradation of service that negatively impacts customers. There are several important time metrics that are used by Site Reliability Engineers (SRE) and developer operations (DevOps) to optimize the incident response. This article introduces those metrics when to use them, some of their pitfalls, as well as further reading resources.
☁️ FLEXERA™ 2022 State of the Cloud Report
To compete in today’s game, organizations must have the right cloud computing strategy in place. Cloud adoption was already expanding for several years—and has been accelerated by the pandemic—but as a post-pandemic world begins to take shape, new trends in cloud migration and usage are coming into focus.
The Flexera 2022 State of the Cloud Report explores the thinking of 753 global cloud decision-makers and users from a survey conducted in late 2021. Respondents revealed their experiences and insights about the public, private and multi-cloud market. To remain competitive in this evolving digital world, organizations must make strategic decisions about their cloud migration, cloud architecture, usage of public clouds, effective tooling and cloud cost management.
