Peter Hoose reacted on thisPeter Hoose reacted on thisNeha Narkhede 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗯𝗲𝘀 𝟮𝟱𝟬 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 Oscilar Co-founder and CTO Sachin Kulkarni has celebrated a high-velocity milestone for his co-founder Neha Narkhede, who was recently named to the Forbes 250 Greatest Innovators list. Recognized alongside titans like Jensen Huang and Sam Altman, Narkhede is credited with architecting the #ApacheKafka data infrastructure that powers the AI-enabled internet - a mandate she has now transitioned into the fintech sector to bridge the gap between legacy risk management and real-time AI decisioning. The mandate centers on "Day One Intensity and Zero-Base Credibility," providing a primary framework for how the duo built Oscilar from a startup booth into an industry disruptor. By integrating her elite background - having previously built #Confluent into a public powerhouse - with a "no shortcuts" approach to customer acquisition, Narkhede remains the lead architect for #Oscilar, delivering the technological depth required to outrun fraud and credit complexity while solidifying the firm’s position as the foundational intelligence layer for the modern financial ecosystem.

Peter Hoose liked thisOne of the hard-won lessons of distributed systems is that techniques that improve steady state reliability can counter-intuitively increase the chance of a total meltdown. Caching, retries, failover, load balancers, auto-scaling, queues, ... cause systems to have complex dynamic behavior, and that leads some failures to be amplified and persisted. Marc's tool looks like an awesome way to understand these metastable failures. Nice!Peter Hoose liked thisOver the last couple weeks, I've been experimenting with a new way to teach folks about stability and metastable failures in distributed systems. Following some positive early feedback, I'd like to share https://lnkd.in/gyeGM6Vz Stability sim is a simple, interactive, simulator that allows you to explore some of the behaviors that cause long outages even in simple distributed systems, and understand the pitfalls of caches, simple retry strategies, round-robin load balancing, and other common design patterns. Some ways to get started: 📺 Watch a basic demo: https://lnkd.in/gH6nxs2E 📈 Check out one of the built-in examples: https://lnkd.in/gYQPSG8p 🛝 Or just get playing: https://lnkd.in/gyeGM6Vz This is very much a v0.1, and I'm sure there are tons of bugs and missing features.

Peter Hoose liked thisPeter Hoose liked thisToday we shipped Muse Spark and a major upgrade to Meta AI. Muse Spark is the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs. We've been working towards this as a team for the past nine months. Muse Spark is our first offering: a natively multimodal reasoning model that's small, fast, and quite capable. It powers a smarter Meta AI starting today. Here's what's different: - You can experience the reasoning of Muse Spark in Thinking mode. This is what I use the most to build artifacts, reason through some hard problems. We're also working on releasing a new Contemplating mode that spins up multiple agents working in parallel, like having a team of researchers tackling your question simultaneously. - Muse Spark has great multimodal performance. I especially love visual grounding - go take a picture of a snack shelf and ask it to build an artifact for you on which ones are the healthiest (or not). - Shopping mode pulls from real people and surfaces styling inspiration and brand storytelling. - Visual coding. Ask Meta AI to build a dashboard, spin up a retro arcade game, create a flight simulator - incredibly fun. Muse Spark powers the Meta AI app and meta.ai today, and will be rolling out to WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, and AI glasses in the coming weeks. Try it now: meta.ai

Peter Hoose reacted on thisPeter Hoose reacted on thisRecently our partners at Major League Hacking hosted their first Production Engineering-focused hackathon. Production Engineering is a specialty software engineering field focused on making large distributed systems work in the real world, and it's where I've spent most of my career. Over 600 hackathon participants, spread out over 100 teams, were tasked with taking a basic URL shortening app and turning it into a hardened production grade service capable of gracefully withstanding high load, along with monitoring, alerting, and continuous deployment. I'm really proud of what the teams accomplished in a short amount of time and what they built. I'm also proud of my 12 Meta colleagues -- many of them MLH alumni themselves -- for helping out with the hackathon in judging, speaking, and mentoring roles. I wanted to signal boost our the winning teams and hey, companies, if you're looking to hire the next generation of talent, give some of these folks a chance. And yes! Meta will be running the Production Engineering Fellowship for our 6th consecutive year in 2026 -- details to come soon. * Best All-Round Team: Five Nines Club (https://lnkd.in/gjqwvFus) * Best Team - Reliability: PipeLie (https://lnkd.in/gt_EYcUM) * Best Team - Scalability: Curtain (https://lnkd.in/gQvBCAXK) * Best Team - Incident Response: kadi (https://lnkd.in/gT-5YvPA) * Best Beginners’ Team (≥50% first-time hackers): SREnity Squad (https://lnkd.in/gMmTcE3K) Huge thank you MLH and thank you to all the participants, looking forward to the next one!SREnity Squad - URL Shortener + Incident Response DashboardSREnity Squad - URL Shortener + Incident Response Dashboard

Peter Hoose liked thisPeter Hoose liked thisFounders Club hits different. When you're deep in the day-to-day, it's hard to see progress. Then you take a step back and realize how much has actually changed. Just few years ago, Oscilar started with a hunch that felt obvious to us but wasn't widely shared: risk infrastructure was broken because it was fragmented. Fraud teams, compliance teams, credit teams, onboarding teams — all running separate systems, separate data, separate models. We believed the answer was a unified decisioning layer, AI-native from the ground up, where every risk signal could be evaluated together in real time. Today, we're processing tens of billions of real time decisions, with 100+ data integrations and an AI agent platform running in production. We've grown our footprint across the U.S., Europe, MENA, and Latin America. We get to work with companies shaping the future of financial services like SoFi, MoneyGram, Nuvei, Payoneer, and Clara. Zoom out a bit more, and what stands out is who made it happen. The team that keeps raising the bar. The customers and partners who trusted us early and keep pushing us forward. The builders and operators shaping this category alongside us. Founders Club is about recognizing that. This group represents people at Oscilar who've driven real impact for our customers, our partners, and the platform. To this year's winners: you've set the standard. And to everyone who's been part of this journey, thank you. Everything we've built so far is because of you. And we're just getting started.

Peter Hoose reacted on thisPeter Hoose reacted on thisIn honor of The United States' 250th birthday, Forbes released its 250 Greatest Innovators list. My co-founder Neha Narkhede is named alongside the likes of Sam Altman, Warren Buffett, Taylor Swift, Jensen Huang, and Jeff Bezos. She is recognized for creating the data infrastructure that makes an AI-enabled internet possible. Impressive company, but you wouldn't know the most compelling thing about her just from seeing her name there. A few years ago, Neha and I had our first Oscilar booth at Fintech Nexus in New York. Just a small startup table with a monitor on it. People who recognized Neha stopped by, quite confused. The person who co-created Apache Kafka, who took Confluent public, standing behind a folding table at a fintech conference. Some of them couldn't quite process it. But you know what? We signed our first customer from that booth. That moment says more about Neha than any list does. She didn't show up because she had something to prove. She showed up because she believed in what we were building, and she understood that building a company means starting from zero. No shortcuts. No borrowed credibility. Just the work. She didn't treat Oscilar like a victory lap. She treated it like day one. Same intensity, same willingness to do the unglamorous work, same belief that you earn credibility one conversation at a time. When your co-founder has already built something used by 90% of the Fortune 100, you might expect a certain kind of energy. With Neha, it's always been: what's the next hard problem, and how do we solve it better than anyone else. What I've seen consistently is someone who operates the same way whether the room has 5 people or 5,000. Congratulations, Neha. The list is a tremendous achievement. But the work is even more impressive. It's an honor to build alongside you.

Peter Hoose reacted on thisPeter Hoose reacted on thisAfter seven years at Meta, I've decided to leave. It was a pretty incredible journey, and the amount of learning that happened, as a leader and as an infrastructure engineer, in my role leading Production Engineering for online Datastores and eventually for all of the Core Data PE org was a once in a lifetime opportunity. The sheer amount of brilliant and kind and generous people I got to work with was a paradigm shift for me, even in the face of COVID, AI, layoffs, and significant cultural and product changes that I simply could not align with. So, here I am, getting back to my roots in databases; consulting and partnering with companies and orgs just hitting their growth hockey stick, not to mention I wanted more time for my family, my own projects and writing the sequel to the Database Reliability Engineering book. Its a new world and I'm very excited to contribute. And so, here we are. I've moved to Porto, Portugal with my wife, and am cycling, coding, writing and getting a moderate amount of sleep! I'm very excited about this next book on DBRE, and I hope you'll all follow along as I announce more soon.

Peter Hoose liked thisPeter Hoose liked thisOver a year ago, we started construction on what will be our largest data center to date in Richland Parish, Louisiana. This site will be home to our Hyperion AI supercluster and one of the most ambitious data center projects in the world. As Mark shared last year, this site has the ability to scale up to 5GW IT capacity — the kind of massive compute capacity that is essential to powering the future of AI. Developing a data center at this scale requires aligning multiple critical factors: energy, land, strong local partners, and a skilled workforce. In Louisiana, we undeniably have all of these. An important part of this work is securing reliable energy to support our growth. We've been working closely with our energy partner, Entergy, since the first days of site planning to intentionally ensure our power needs are met without consumers paying our costs. Entergy's filing today for new utility infrastructure represents one of several factors needed to move an expansion of this project forward, and demonstrates the business-friendly environment in Louisiana that makes projects like this possible. Our agreement is expected to deliver approximately $2 billion in customer savings to Entergy Louisiana customers; this is in addition to the $650 million previously announced. Along with this new energy agreement, we’re also expanding our support of Entergy's affordability initiatives with $200 million in funding through annual contributions to Entergy's Power to Care and residential energy efficiency programs and committing to funding 2.5GW of clean and renewable energy. Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to visit Richland Parish and see firsthand the remarkable progress our teams are making to bring this data center to life. What stood out just as much as the construction milestones was the strength of the partnerships we've built on the ground. From Office of Governor Jeff Landry, Entergy to Louisiana Economic Development and so many others across the community, the collaboration has been extraordinary. This project is a testament to what's possible when we bring our #OneTeam approach to the communities where we operate. I couldn't be more proud of all of our partnerships in Louisiana that continue to turn this vision into reality. We look forward to sharing more in the weeks ahead. https://lnkd.in/gHBUKWyW
