Real async file I/O for Python. Existing async-file libraries hop every call through a thread pool. This one submits the read or write to the kernel, io_uring on Linux and POSIX AIO on macOS, and completes your await when the data has moved. Zero-copy on the hot paths, one event-loop wakeup per burst of completions, aiofiles-compatible API.

From-scratch PDF toolkit in Rust with Python bindings. The fastest PDF library in the world for page rendering and text extraction, and it creates PDFs too.

Word engine written from scratch in Rust: reads .docx and legacy .doc, extracts text, Markdown, HTML and JSON, renders pages to PNG, writes DOCX, opens encrypted and remote files. DOCX text at 3,304 files a second, about 4x docx2txt, with text recovered from 140 of 150 damaged files where other engines manage 1 to 8. CLI, Python bindings and a terminal explorer.

PowerPoint engine written from scratch in Rust: reads .pptx and legacy .ppt, extracts text, notes, tables, charts and images, renders Markdown, verifies against ECMA-376 and creates decks. A lenient reader that tolerates broken archives and relationships. CLI and Python bindings.

Homebrew rebuilt in Zig for Apple Silicon: installs Homebrew bottles and casks from the formulae.brew.sh index with one 1.3 MB static binary. No Ruby, no runtime, no sudo, and about 5x faster installs because it only fetches, verifies, extracts and links.

Kubernetes operator for SereneDB, a Postgres-compatible search and analytics database. One resource per server becomes a hardened StatefulSet; databases, roles and storage credentials are declarative, and backups use volume snapshots.

Kubernetes operator for Qdrant: Helm-managed clusters, per-node snapshots streamed to S3 on a schedule, node-by-node restores, declarative collections, per-collection JWT access keys and live migrations between clusters. Built on kopf with async adapters.

Text chunkers in Rust behind a Python API: rayon-parallel across documents with the GIL released, native async, char-accurate offsets so that text[start:end] always equals the chunk, and semantic chunking through any OpenAI-compatible embeddings endpoint.

Rust-powered functional toolkit for Python: the toolz API, Option and Result types, and a lazy fluent Iter, all executing in native code. Benchmarked faster than cytoolz.

In-browser benchmark that races four PDF engines on a document you supply: pdfboss, hayro, pdf.js and PDFium, each in its own web worker. The stopwatch wraps only the render call, and the full sweep runs one engine at a time so they cannot fight over cores. Nothing is uploaded.

A one-page map of Márk Sági-Kazár’s course on iximiuz Labs, which builds a Kubernetes cluster one component at a time, from a container runtime on one machine to DNS on three. Each of the 13 lessons lists what it installs, what fails before it, and the command that checks it. A diagram of the three machines shows certificates, ports and the lesson behind each part, with a slider for the cluster after any lesson.
