REST has served backend development well for two decades. It is simple, predictable, and every developer on your team understands it. So why are more engineering teams moving toward event-driven architecture? The short answer: synchronous communication does not scale the way modern systems need to scale. And the teams discovering this lesson in production are paying for it in outages, latency spik
Twenty-four hours after I swapped Supabase Auth's default SMTP for Resend, my first real user signed up. I'll call him K. I emailed him three questions. He replied in 49 minutes: "make a better ui of admin so we can use." That sentence is now my Q2 roadmap. Three weeks into launch I have 3 users, 2 Google clicks, and zero mentions when you ask ChatGPT or Gemini for "free status page alternatives."
Jack had finally stepped into the world of Docker. It felt like magic, but Jack was never one to just believe in "magic spells." He was curious. He wanted to look under the hood and see what actually made Docker so powerful. He had one big question: How could 50 different people live in the same "apartment building" (the Host OS) without accidentally reading each other's mail or eating each other'
Last week I had a problem. I'd built an internal documentation site in Trilium Notes — about 30 notes covering product, marketing, and operations stuff. It was for non-technical teammates who needed to answer questions from developers about the platform. The docs were good. Structured, searchable, complete. But reading 30 notes to find one answer is not great UX, especially for someone who's been

A deep, opinionated, practical guide for the engineer who has crossed the mid-level threshold — or is about to. The mental models, technical habits, ownership patterns, communication skills, and career mechanics that separate "solid senior" from "engineer the whole team builds around." Grounded in 2026 reality — AI-augmented coding, distributed async teams, post-ZIRP efficiency pressure, and a mar
Giới thiệu TikTok không chỉ là một ứng dụng mạng xã hội; dưới góc độ kỹ thuật, đó là một trong những hệ thống phân phối nội dung (CDN) phức tạp nhất thế giới. Với hàng tỷ lượt xem mỗi ngày, TikTok sử dụng các giao thức streaming thích ứng, cơ chế mã hóa video đa lớp và đặc biệt là hệ thống bảo mật cực kỳ tinh vi để bảo vệ nội dung.

In this article, I'll share six Laravel performance lessons we learned from building real client systems, including how Eloquent queries, caching, code structure, deadlines, and communication affected the way we build and maintain applications. We didn't notice anything wrong at first. The app worked, responses were fine, and everything looked clean during development. Then real users started usin
