knowledge — learn it

The problem on the bench: production systems have become opaque even to the teams running them. The knowledge of how they actually work lives in a few heads and zero documents.

The dissection said: understanding is a teachable act. So Cutaway takes real systems apart in public — edge, gateway, service, queue, data — with the same drawn rigor as a workshop manual, so any engineer can learn the method rather than the trivia.

Publishing continuously. Every dispatch is a machine you can now take apart yourself.
