PROFILE

Mikhail Alpinskiy

Mikhail Alpinskiy developed and maintained core backend systems for VKCOM/statshouse, focusing on reliability, observability, and performance across data ingestion, querying, and caching. He engineered robust API and proxy layers, modernized the cache subsystem, and introduced protocol versioning to support scalable, traceable data flows. Using Go, SQL, and PromQL, Mikhail refactored the SQL core, optimized PromQL evaluation, and implemented thread-safe, high-performance caching strategies. His work included packaging automation, debug instrumentation, and concurrency improvements, resulting in lower latency, higher throughput, and easier diagnostics. The depth of his contributions addressed both immediate operational needs and long-term maintainability challenges.
