Writing about development and technology.
Why API Gateway is essential in Microservices Architecture. Detailed comparison of Kong vs. Nginx vs. AWS API Gateway, deep dive into Rate Limiting algorithms, GraphQL integration strategies, and ensuring Observability.
Code is read 10x more than it is written. Why meaningful names matter, how to split functions, and why comments are often failures. The art of refactoring.
Client says 'Pizza please', Factory handles the baking logic. Hiding creation complexity.
Add new features without modifying existing class. Like adding whipped cream, syrup, shot to coffee. Dynamically combine features. Principle behind Python @decorator.
Connecting incompatible interfaces. How to make old code work with new code without rewriting.
Don't check every second if a new video is up. One subscribe button automatically notifies you. The elegant design pattern solving 1:N dependencies.
When Scale-Up fails, Scale-Out is the answer. Vertical vs Horizontal Partitioning, Shard Key selection strategies (Geo vs Hash), and the complexity of Distributed Transactions.
One President per country. One DB connection pool. Most famous yet controversial pattern for global managers. Convenient but path to testing hell.
Singleton, Factory, Observer... Don't reinvent the wheel. Use the proven blueprints.
SRP, OCP, LSP, ISP, DIP. The foundation of maintainable software architecture. Examples in TypeScript.
Quick & Dirty code feels fast now, but you pay interest later. Don't go bankrupt.
Logs are the black box of your infrastructure. When disaster strikes, grep is not enough. We explore the ELK Stack—the industry standard for centralized logging. Understand the roles of Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana, compare modern alternatives like Fluentd and Vector, and learn strategies for Index Lifecycle Management (ILM).
In the era of autonomous vehicles and real-time IoT, the speed of light is too slow. Edge Computing minimizes latency by processing data closer to the source. We explore the architecture of Edge vs. Cloud, the role of 5G, Fog Computing, and the unique challenges of managing distributed edge infrastructure.
MVC's Controller got too fat. Split into Presenter/ViewModel, auto-update with Data Binding. Core pattern of modern frontend.
Analyzing the trade-offs between Compiled languages (C++) and Interpreted languages (Python). How JIT Compilers bridge the gap.
Unit tests check the bricks; E2E tests check the building. Learn how to simulate real user journeys using modern tools like Cypress and Playwright. We cover best practices for writing resilient selectors, handling authentication, fighting test flakiness, and where E2E fits in the Testing Pyramid.
Writing test BEFORE code. Red -> Green -> Refactor. The Double-Entry Bookkeeping of Programming.
Visualizing work flow. Why limiting WIP (Work In Progress) makes you faster.
When you break a monolith into microservices, you lose ACID transactions. How do you ensure data consistency across boundaries? We explore the limitations of Two-Phase Commit (2PC) and dive deep into the Saga Pattern, Event Consistency, and practical implementation strategies like Choreography vs Orchestration.
Stop hiring 'DevOps Engineers' to fix your broken culture. DevOps is about breaking down silos between Development and Operations, not creating a new silo. We explore the 'Three Ways' of DevOps (Flow, Feedback, Learning), the importance of CI/CD, Immutable Infrastructure, and why DevSecOps is the inevitable future.
