An API (Application package interface) is a software tool that enables researchers and developers to access some third-party data and functionality within a main software. Usually, it’s a collection of software commands that act as an interface to an external database. Web 3 APIs act as translators, enabling applications to interact with features like smart contracts and on-chain data, empowering you to harness the...

Indexing Across Data Models: From Tables to Documents to Text
Every modern software application relies on a database to persist and manage its data. The choice of database technology is largely influenced by theapplication’s data model and its read and write throughput. For large datasets, query efficiency is critical. An inefficient query that works on a small dataset can quickly turn into a performance bottleneck when scaled to hundreds of thousands or millions of data points....
Beyond Secrets Manager: Designing Zero-Retention Secrets in AWS With Ephemeral Access Patterns
Secrets management in AWS has traditionally relied on long-lived secrets stored in Secrets Manager or Parameter Store. But as attack surfaces grow and threat actors become faster at exploiting exposed credentials, even rotated secrets begin to look like liabilities. The future of security in AWS leans toward ephemeral access, where credentials are generated just-in-time, scoped to the minimum needed permission, and...
How to Cache Golang API Responses for High Performance
Go makes it easy to build APIs that are fast out of the box. But as usage grows, speed at the language level is not enough. If every request keeps hitting the database, crunching the same data, or serializing the same JSON over and over, latency cree...

Understanding containers from scratch: building one with Bash (no Docker, no magic)
Over the years, Docker has become a black box for many developers — we use it daily, but very few of us actually understand what happens under the hood. I wanted to truly understand how containers isolate processes, manage filesystems, and set up networking. So I decided to build my own container from scratch using only Bash scripts — no Docker, no Podman, just Linux primitives like: • chroot for filesystem isolation •...
How Clean Commits Make PR Reviews Easier
It's no secret that reviewing pull requests is time consuming, and incredibly important. Speeding up reviews, and enabling higher quality reviews, should therefore be a crucial skill for all developers. However, I find the vast majority of PRs to be incredibly unfriendly to reviewers. In this post I wrote about some git commands that will help you craft PRs that are much easier to review. With a bit of practice it ends...
Senior Developers, What to Read Next?
Recently, one of my best friends, who is, in the meantime, one of the smartest developers I have the luck to know, asked me what book he should read next to further develop his skills. It took me some time to gather my thoughts, and it might be useful for others, too. Spoiler alert: I could not find a single book that I would say isthe oneto read as a senior developer. Instead, I summarized the books that I found good...

Agentic AI: Why Your Copilot Is About to Become Your Coworker
You've spent the last two years playing with ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, and various AI assistants. You ask questions, they answer. You request code, they generate it. But here's what's changing in 2025: AI is about to stop waiting for your instructions and start completing entire workflows autonomously. Welcome to the age of agentic AI — and it's going to fundamentally change how software gets built, deployed, and...
Where Stale Data Hides Inside Your Architecture (and How to Spot It)
Every system collects stale data over time — that part is obvious. What’s less obvious is how much of it your platform will accumulate and, more importantly, whether it builds up in places it never should. That’s no longer just an operational issue but an architectural one. In my experience, I’ve often found stale data hiding in corners nobody thinks about. On the surface, they look harmless, but over time, they start...

CNCF Triggers a Platform Parity Breakthrough for Arm64 and x86
The Challenge Developing open-source software for deployment on Arm64 architecture requires a robust continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) environment. Yet, there has historically been a disparity between the levels of support for Arm64 and traditional x86 processor architectures, with Arm64 usually at a disadvantage. Developers of infrastructure components for multiple architectures have certain...
Our Path to Better Certificate Management With Vault and FreeIPA
Managing public key infrastructure (PKI) is challenging, especially in dynamic, cloud-native environments. In the “good old days,” you could create a virtual machine, place a certificate on it, and forget about it for a couple of years (or at least until the certificate expired). But as modern infrastructure has evolved, a more automated and scalable approach is needed. In this article, we’ll explore how to configure...

A Fresh Look at Optimizing Apache Spark Programs
I have spent countless hours debugging slow Spark jobs, and it almost always comes down to a handful of common pitfalls. Apache Spark is a powerful distributed processing engine, but getting top performance requires more than just running your code on a cluster. Even with Spark’s built-in Catalyst optimizer and Tungsten execution engine, a poorly written or configured Spark job can run slowly or inefficiently. In my...
How Developers Use Synthetic Data to Stress-Test Models in Noisy Markets
Every quant knows the ritual: collect historical prices, engineer features, and run a backtest. Yet when those same backtests are applied to thinly traded equities or frontier markets, results collapse. Missing data points, illiquidity, regulatory shifts, and outright distortions creep in. The backtest looks elegant on paper, but fails instantly in production. The issue is not strategy alone — it is the dataset itself....

Football Match Prediction Bot
Hey there! I've built a Python project that uses data, stats, and a few clever tricks to simulate the result of a football match between two teams (national or league). The bot works by analyzing the last games of each team, taking into account things like wins, losses, home and away performances, and even the relative strength of their leagues. It then calculates a custom score for both sides and predicts whether Team...

I built a small C compiler to understand how compilers work
I’m a software engineer who wanted to understand what really happens inside a compiler — from parsing to interpreting. So I built a small educational project called **Mini C Compiler**, which supports a subset of C and runs code through an interpreter. It’s not meant to be fast or complete, but to help understand the core concepts in a hands-on way. I’ve also included full documentation explaining each step for anyone...
Operationalizing Responsible AI: Turning Ethics Into Engineering
Lately, it feels like everyone is talking about responsible AI — but what does it actually mean when you are the engineer pushing a model to production? You already check for latency, accuracy, and monitoring before a release — but do you ever check off "ethical AI"? When your model delivers a prediction or recommendation and a user asks, "Why these results and not the other ?", do you have a clear explanation or just...
Critical vulnerability in Lua scripts run on Redis - CVE-2025-49844
I wonder what do you guys think about the whole idea of introducing scripting language into Key-Value store so that you can "execute part of your application logic inside Redis, efficiently and atomically". submitted by /u/matt_112358 [link] [comments]
Tests Don’t Prove Code Is Correct… They Just Agree With It
“A test isn’t proof that something is correct, it’s proof that one piece of code behaves the way another piece of code thinks it should behave.” This thought hit me the other day while writing a few “perfectly passing” tests. I realized they weren’t actually proving anything — just confirming that my assumptions in two places matched. When both your implementation and your test share the same wrong assumption,...
