Rust's ownership model and fearless concurrency make it a powerhouse for building robust, high-performance backend services. We'll explore advanced patterns like work stealing, actor models, and lock-free data structures that'll...

The Security Trifecta: SELinux, OPA, and Falco Before we jump into the nitty-gritty, let's break down our security dream team: * SELinux: The grumpy old security guard that's been around the block. * OPA:...

Why Bypass the Kernel? The Linux kernel's network stack is a marvel of engineering, handling a wide variety of protocols and use cases. But for some high-performance applications, it can be overkill. Think of...

First things first: What the heck are tombstones, and why are they causing so much trouble? Tombstones are Cassandra's way of marking deleted data. They're like little gravestones for your bits and...

We'll build a Certificate Transparency log system for internal PKIs using Kafka as a message queue and Trillian as an append-only Merkle tree. This setup allows for efficient auditing of certificate issuances, detection of...

The Challenge: Sync Without the Sink Syncing objects across multiple S3 buckets in different regions is like herding cats – if those cats were made of data and had a tendency to multiply when you're...

Today, we're diving into the wild world of distributed transaction management, leaving the well-worn path of 2PC behind. Buckle up, because we're about to explore some advanced techniques that'll make...

We'll explore cutting-edge data anonymization methods that comply with GDPR while preserving analytical value. From k-anonymity to differential privacy, we've got you covered. Buckle up for a ride through the data anonymization...

Why go custom when there are off-the-shelf solutions? * Flexibility: Tailor limits to your specific use cases and user tiers * Performance: Optimize for your infrastructure and traffic patterns * Control: Fine-tune every aspect of how you manage API...

Our solution will leverage Shamir's Secret Sharing for distributed trust and additive homomorphic encryption for computations on encrypted data. By the end, you'll have a robust backend system that can detect fraud...

Effective error handling in event-driven systems, especially when using Kafka, requires propagating context-aware failures across topics. We'll explore strategies to maintain error context, design error events, and implement robust error handling patterns. By the...

JSON parsing isn't exactly the most glamorous part of our jobs. But when you're dealing with terabytes of log data daily, every millisecond counts. That's where GPU acceleration comes in,...

Infrastructure code can be a mess. YAML files stretching for miles, JSON that makes your eyes bleed, and don't even get me started on those bash scripts held together by duct tape and prayers....

Why zero-copy processing is the talk of the town: * Dramatically reduced CPU usage * Significantly lower memory footprint * Decreased latency in data-intensive operations * Improved overall system throughput Sounds too good to be true? Well, it's...

Why ArC DI? Well, my friend, ArC (ArC stands for "CDI in ArC") is Quarkus's own dependency injection framework, specifically designed to be lightweight and blazing fast. It's like CDI...
