Tuples and Records (Part 2): JavaScript Migration Guide
In Part 1 of this series, we explored JavaScriptβs Tuples and Records, two immutable data structures designed to improve performance, predictability, and developer experience. We covered their purpose, syntax, key benefits, and where they fit best in modern applications. Now, in Part 2, weβll shift the focus to migration strategies. Transitioning from traditional objects and arrays to Tuples and Records isnβt just a...
Slimming Down Docker Images: Base Image Choices and The Power of Multi-Stage Builds
Introduction Let's talk about an uncomfortable truth: most of us are shipping Docker images that are embarrassingly large. If you're deploying ML models, there's a good chance your containers are over 2GB. Mine were pushing 3GB until recently. The thing is, we know better. We've all read the best practices. But when you're trying to get a model into production, it's tempting to just FROM pytorch/pytorch and call it a...
API Design First: AsyncAPI in .Net
In modern distributed systems, event-driven architectures have become mainstream. While RESTful APIs have well-established design-firstpractices with OpenAPI/Swagger, event-driven architectures often lack similar standardization. For any team building event-driven systems (in general) with Kafka, the initial promise of decoupling and resilience can quickly be overshadowed by chaos. Without a contract, producers and...

Introducing GoSocket β A Simple WebSocket Framework for Go
Hi Go community, Iβm excited to share GoSocket, a lightweight WebSocket library for Go that aims to make setting up WebSocket servers fast. Setting up a WebSocket server in Go often requires writing a lot of boilerplate: handling connections, managing clients, broadcasting messages, dealing with rooms, and supporting different message formats. GoSocket abstracts all of that so you can get a working server running in...

Business Rules In Database Movement
Did you know that there was an entire movement in software development, complete with its own manifesto, thought leaders, and everything, dedicated almost exclusively to putting business logic in SQL databases? Neither did I. So I did some research to create a post, and it turned out to be an entire article that digs into this movement a little bit deeper. I hope you like it. It is important to know history. submitted...

(Kudos to Esther Derby and Diana Larsen for the format!) The problem isnβt the...
Making String Search Easier Across Databases
Searching for information in applications is rarely as simple as matching an exact string. Users donβt always remember the full text; instead, they rely on fragments. When buying a product online, for instance, they might type only the brand (βSamsungβ) or only the model (βGalaxy S24β), but rarely both together. In financial systems, the same happens when looking up a transaction by just part of the description. This...
I just want to know if there are more people thinking that SOLID is overrated and sometimes add unnecessary complexity
I think SOLID it could be good, however try to follows strictly SOLID principles can easily become a problem. I have been working in software industry for around 15 years. I remember one time when I had to debug old code that abuse so much about using inheritance/interfaces. There was around 8 levels of inheritance/interfaces, all clases are almos empty with only skeleton just to support next class, at the end the...
Erdus - a universal ER diagram converter: challenges in schema migration
Iβve been working on a universal ER diagram converter and wanted to share some of the technical challenges I ran into. The project (Erdus) converts ERDPlus (old & new), SQL, and Prisma schemas bidirectionally while preserving relationships, composite foreign keys, and even diagram layout. Some interesting problems I had to solve: - Deterministic ID generation to keep references consistent across conversions. -...
Arrays, Slices, and Maps in Go: a Quick Guide to Collection Types
Golang has a reputation for simplicity, and one reason is its small set of core data structures. Unlike some languages that offer lists, vectors, dictionaries, hashmaps, tuples, sets, and more, Go keeps things minimal. The three fundamental building ...
