Cloudflare Basin: a guide to the serverless data platform
Cloudflare Basin went GA on 1 October 2026. What its pipelines, Iceberg catalogue and SQL engine do, how to set it up, and the limits to plan for.
Boris Tane Monitoring coverage. How to find the gaps in your monitoring: which services have no alerts, which signals are missing, and what to add first to close them.
Monitoring coverage is about the gaps: the service with no alerts, the cron job nobody watches, the connection pool that fills up quietly until it doesn't. The outages that take hours to find usually hide in one of them.
These guides are for engineers running an app on a managed platform who need to know what to watch and how to wire it up. Each one takes a real stack, such as Supabase, Convex, FastAPI on Railway or Django on Render, and walks through health checks, structured logs, metrics, traces and the alerts worth having on day one. They start with the platform's own tools and show where a third-party tool adds something. You finish each guide knowing which signals you collect, which you are missing and what to add next.
How Polylane works on these platforms: Supabase, Cloudflare, Convex, Render and Railway.
