Event-Driven Architecture: When to Use It and When to Avoid It
The Event-Driven Hype Cycle Event-driven architecture (EDA) has become the default answer for system design interviews and startup architecture decisions. But events are not a silver bullet. They introduce complexity...
Terraform at Scale: Managing Infrastructure for 50+ Microservices
The Terraform Scaling Problem Terraform works beautifully for a handful of resources. At 50+ microservices, a single state file becomes a bottleneck. Plan times stretch to minutes, merge conflicts multiply,...
The Strangler Fig Pattern: Migrating Legacy Systems Without Downtime
The Legacy Migration Dilemma Every engineering team eventually inherits a legacy system that needs replacement. The big rewrite approach fails more often than it succeeds. The Strangler Fig pattern —...
Understanding WebSocket Architecture at Enterprise Scale
Real-time communication is no longer a luxury in modern applications. It is a fundamental requirement. From live chat systems to collaborative editing platforms, WebSockets have become the backbone of interactive...
Building Centralized Component Libraries in Monorepos
Design systems are only as good as their implementation. A beautiful Figma library means nothing if the code component library drifts out of sync. The solution lies in centralized component...
The Fallacy of Zero-Trust Networks Without Identity Verification
Zero-trust architecture has become the gold standard for modern security. The principle is simple: never trust, always verify. But in practice, many organizations implement zero-trust at the network layer while...
