Discover the parody blog post about the Stateful Factory pattern, a made-up design pattern that highlights the importance of critical thinking in software development. Learn how this fictional pattern ‘solves’ object creation problems, and read the humorous account of a code review where it’s ‘successfully’ implemented. This entertaining piece serves as a reminder to avoid blindly following trends and to evaluate the specific needs of your application before applying any design pattern.

Wasm is expected to serve as a very important computing structure. This is because Wasm allows applications to be deployed and distributed with fewer security layers to manage, for instance.

The rise of APIs in data warehouses has introduced challenges with current approaches to building, operating and scaling data APIs.

By migrating to Apache Beam, social networking service LinkedIn unified its streaming and batch source code files, and reduced data processing time by 94%.

Opportunities exist to increase efficiency and save money by moving to a document database and practicing appropriate data modeling techniques.

Documentation generators can help DevOps teams better understand GraphQL APIs, improve collaboration and speed up development cycles.

The speed layer handles high-velocity data streams that require immediate processing along with integrated historical data to drive real-time decision-making.

The technology we needed to bump serverless from good to great was living in the browser. We just needed to pluck Wasm from there and plant it in the cloud.

Web applications often require an internet connection, but a fair chunk can also work offline. We show frontend engineers how to gracefully implement the big 3 local-first solutions: storage, synchronization, and conflict resolutions.
