The markdown engine we’re using is mdex, which is Rust backed, and it uses autumnus for syntax highlighting. They have an extensive set of built-in themes, and we’re using the nord theme because it matches the site design.

Thank you! @sorenone and I had a blast building it together

Nice post Parker! Is the theme you used for the code snippets publicly available? I really like it!

Also, loving the new https://getoban.pro site/design!!

Thanks, @AstonJ ! We really wanted to invoke a sense of happiness when you saw the redesign.

As a reference, my Rust crypto mini-career some years ago involved a single k8s pod (2 vCPU & 4GB RAM) ingesting ~150K events / sec from Kafka and putting them in InfluxDB. We used every trick in the book outside of going back to C (which would net us no more than 1% extra speed anyway) and couldn’t do more than ~170K events / sec and at this point the code became ugly and difficult to maintain.

We had to have ~50 such nodes.

Granted that was back in 2020, nowadays you can likely achieve 5x that on a single afforable beefy-ish node but 1.5M jobs / sec seems like something you need to specifically engineer for.

I’d argue that we did that back in April, with the original cascading workflows article

Thanks, that’s appreciated! It’s part of our broader “Oban for AI” angle.
