A practical look at using tower as the middleware layer for Rust AWS Lambda functions, with examples that build up to a DynamoDB-backed per-IP rate limiter. It covers Service, Layer, stack ordering, short-circuiting, boxed async futures, and testing middleware without deploying a Lambda. Comments

A short guide to organizing FastAPI apps beyond a single main.py file. FastAPI makes it easy to start with a single main.py file. That is great for demos, prototypes, and small APIs. But once your application grows, one file can quickly turn into a mix of routes, database logic, security helpers, settings, and business rules. A clear project structure helps keep the app easier to understand, test,
A hands-on dev review focused on i18n, date/number formatting, and non-ASCII edge cases. Why I Tested TestSprite for Locale Handling Specifically Most AI testing tools get reviewed for their core functionality — does it find bugs, does it write good test code, does it integrate with CI/CD. Those reviews exist. What I couldn't find was a focused review on how TestSprite handles locale-specific edge
What is FastAPI? As the name suggests, FastAPI is a modern Python framework designed for building RESTful APIs with high performance and minimal boilerplate. In 2026, it has become the industry standard because it’s exceptionally fast, reliable, and includes powerful out of the box features — such as automatic interactive documentation and native support for asynchronous programming. These comma
