# Welcome to Chipp Engineering

The Chipp engineering blog — deep dives on how we build the platform for AI builders, the decisions behind it, and what we learn along the way.

---

This is the Chipp engineering blog. Expect long-form, honest writing about how we build the platform — the systems, the decisions, the things that broke and what we did about them.

## What you'll find here

- **Architecture deep-dives.** How our Alchemist, tool-execution pipeline, vector search, voice stack, and billing system actually work.
- **Postmortems.** What broke, why, and how we fixed it. Public so other teams building AI platforms can skip the same mistakes.
- **Performance and scale.** Work we're doing to keep p95 latency tight as we ship 20–30 deploys a day to production.
- **Decisions.** Why we picked Deno, why we wrote our own Stripe token billing layer, why we use a Cloudflare Worker as an edge proxy in front of everything.

## Why a separate blog

Our [docs](/docs) are reference material — how to use the platform. The Ghost blog is for product news and announcements. This is different: it's the engineering reasoning behind the product, written for people who build things.

If that's useful to you, the [RSS feed](/engineering/rss.xml) is the easiest way to follow along.
