No beginner tutorials. No listicles. Architecture essays, performance deep dives, and system design breakdowns written by engineers with production scar tissue.
Designing for Failure: Building Resilient Distributed Systems
Failure is not an edge case — it is the default state of any distributed system. Here is how to design systems that expect and absorb failure rather than collapse under it.
JVM Garbage Collection Tuning: A Production Engineer's Playbook
GC pauses are not random. They are diagnostic signals. This guide covers G1GC, ZGC, and Shenandoah configuration for latency-sensitive production workloads.
The Distributed Monolith Anti-Pattern and How to Escape It
Many teams split their monolith into services without splitting the data model. The result is a distributed monolith — worse than both architectures it tried to replace.
Spring Boot 3.x: What Senior Engineers Actually Need to Know
Beyond the migration checklist. This is a deep look at the architectural implications of moving to Spring Boot 3, virtual threads, and the GraalVM native image ecosystem.
Database Query Optimization: From Slow Queries to Sub-Millisecond
A systematic approach to identifying, analyzing, and resolving database performance problems in production PostgreSQL and MySQL systems.
Event Sourcing in Practice: Lessons from Production Deployments
Event sourcing sounds elegant in theory. In practice, it introduces projections, eventual consistency, and schema evolution challenges that few articles address.
