The Daily Diff turns the best engineering blog posts from companies like Netflix, Stripe, Cloudflare, Meta, and AWS into a short daily conversation you can listen to on your commute. Every episode is AI-narrated — two hosts, Jordan and Riley, talking through what shipped and why it matters — but each topic is hand-picked and reviewed by a human before it goes out, for actual usefulness to working software engineers, not just noise. No filler: if nothing substantial happened that day, we skip the episode instead of padding one out. Every episode credits and links back to the original article — this is commentary and discussion, not a replacement for reading the source.

New episodes most weekdays, ~5–10 minutes each.

  • Pilot Ep 1 — Cloudflare's Town Lake: A Data Platform, and the AI Agent Built on It
    Aug 16 2026

    In this episode, Jordan and Riley break down a recent Cloudflare Engineering post on Town Lake, their internal data lakehouse, and Skipper, the AI agent built on top of it. They cover why Cloudflare needed it (a billion+ events/sec scattered across Postgres, ClickHouse, Kafka, and more), how Trino and Iceberg tie it together into one queryable system, the "default-closed" access model for sensitive data, and how Skipper turns natural-language questions into safe, grounded SQL — including a neat trick that cut its tool-calling round-trips from five down to one.

    Source: How we built Cloudflare's data platform and an AI agent on top of it — The Cloudflare Blog, May 28, 2026. This episode is commentary and discussion, not a reproduction of the original post — read the full article at the link above.
