Coupling is integration's magic word

Focus on security

Golden rules to answer in System Design Interviews.

S3 is more weirder than you think. Make sure you know all the quirks before they turn into vulnerabilities in your AWS infrastructure.

Caches help reduce latency, scale read-heavy workloads, and save cost. They are literally everywhere. Caches run on your phone and in your browser. For example, CDNs and DNS are essentially geo-rep…

REST APIs everywhere!

The CAP Theorem is an important concept in distributed database systems that helps architects and designers understand the trade offs while…

Explanation of this topic starts with an analogy, taking an example from real life to understand the concept better.

#1 System Design - Scalability

Sahil: Hi Sourajit! Let’s play something.

#51: Break Into Saga Design Pattern (4 Minutes)

Enterprise applications often have a hefty and complex code base, mission-critical functionality, and a constant influx of feature demands that can result in a slower pace of dependency updates and a tendency to lag behind. This situation can worsen over time, as certain high-profile dependencies become outdated or discontinued, preventing the update of interlocked dependencies and leading to a cascade of technological stagnation. Eventually, this can reach a critical point, requiring big bang migrations to break free from the constraints of problematic legacy technologies.

In this blog, we go on an interactive journey to understand common queueing strategies for handling HTTP requests.

In this blog post we’ll share an overview of Stripe’s database infrastructure and discuss the design and application of the Data Movement Platform.

#47: Break Into Live Streaming Architecture (6 minutes)

A closer look at Figma’s custom PostgreSQL sharding solution with motivations and future predictions.

Check out this article to learn how to make the most of AWS Auto Scaling and its benefits explained with real-life examples!

Build a serverless system using nothing but AWS services and a few lines of code. This simple, cost-effective, and scalable solution allows you to focus on the core business logic of your startup, rather than worrying about scaling and maintaining the underlying infrastructure.

by Stanislav Kozlovski What is a Distributed System and why is it so complicated? With the ever-growing technological expansion of the world, distributed systems are becoming more and more widespread. They are a vast and complex field of study in computer science. This article aims to introduce you to distributed

This blog post details how to run chaos experiments for serverless applications built using Lambda. The described approach uses Lambda extension to inject faults into the execution environment. This allows you to use the same method regardless of runtime or configuration of the Lambda function.

80% automated E2E test coverage in 4 months (Sponsored) Were you aware that despite allocating 25%+ of budgets to QA, 2/3rds of companies still have less than 50% end-to-end test coverage? This means over half of every app is exposed to quality issues.

In the One Billion Row Challenge, the task is to write a program capable of reading an 1-billion-line file (with around 13GB), process and aggregate temperature readings from various weather stations, and present a report of the results on console. In this article, I share my experience attempting the challenge with Golang, providing the details of how I achieved 1.96 seconds.

Our nine month journey to horizontally shard Figma’s Postgres stack, and the key to unlocking (nearly) infinite scalability.

In this post we will dive deeper and demystify how apps actually implement authentication. Do it right, and you barely notice it. But do it wrong, and you lock users out or open major security holes.
