The rapid rise of large language models (LLMs) has opened up exciting new possibilities for AI-driven software development. But how well can these models tackle real-world engineering tasks? That question led to the creation of SWE-Lancer—a benchmark developed by OpenAI that evaluates LLMs using actual freelance software tasks from Expensify’s open-source repository. Let’s explore how Expensify contributed to the SWE-Lancer project and what this means for the future of AI in software engineering.
If you've never heard of "NUMA", you aren't alone – it's a bit of an IYKYK topic that very few engineers encounter in their entire careers. But if you've ever worked on an extremely high core-count server, these four letters will put shivers down your spine. Here’s a deep dive into how Expensify's core hardware works – down to the chip level – with an explanation of how that enables a critical feature of our software to work. We hope you'll find it useful as you architect your own NUMA-balanced applications on your own high-density servers!
Though it seems to be firmly behind us, I wanted to quickly take a moment to apologize for some performance and reliability issues we had a couple weeks back. We understand how critical our service is to your daily operations, and we're deeply sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. In the spirit of transparency, here are comprehensive details on what happened, how it was fixed, and how we will ensure better reliability going forward.
If you were trying to get shit done on your expense reports around 3:30am UTC on the morning of Friday 16th June, then you would have noticed we had a site outage. We want to share the details of our Incident Response, not just to enhance our own learnings and behaviors for next time, but to spread that knowledge with our community as well.
Expensify has an unusual technology stack in many ways. For example, we don't use DNS internally — just configuration-managed /etc/hosts files — and it works great. Similarly, we only make limited use of AWS — instead hosting our own hardware for the web and database layer — and it works great. But most surprising of all is that we don't use MySQL or Postgres — instead using none other than SQLite — and it works great.
