Most of us use Redis like this: SET name Alice GET name It feels simple. You send a command. Redis stores something. You get the value back. But I wan…
Last year I was on a team that pushed 40 million events per day through Kafka. We had consumer lag alerts, rebalancing incidents, and a whole runbook …
I Built a Consistent Hashing Ring in Pure Python and Finally Understood How Cassandra Distributes Data I've been using Cassandra and Redis Cluster for…
What looked like a chaotic sprint was actually a strict exercise in architectural discipline. The last time I published on Dev.to was in late May. At …
I'd routed the same one-word prompt to Claude Haiku and to Gemini 2.5 Flash. Flash has the lower per-token price, so this should have been an easy win…
Most developers never have to design a network protocol from scratch. You use HTTP, gRPC, WebSockets, or something else that already exists and has be…
I built a distributed compute grid where your idle laptop runs ML jobs — the orchestrator behind it The pitch: a single FastAPI hub takes compute jobs…
Squirix 0.1.0 is an early preview of a .NET distributed cache. A typed client SDK talks to a remote server over gRPC; the server owns state, routing, …
Abstract Distributed financial systems are described through explicit interfaces. Services call APIs, consume events, write to databases, submit trans…
How Consistent Hashing Works in Distributed Systems: A Comprehensive Guide Imagine you're trying to organize a massive library with an infinite number…
How I Built a Real-Time Fraud Detection System That Handles 71,000 RPS at p95 <6ms A deep dive into building Sentinel — an ML inference pipeline th…
A production debugging story: tracing recurring 2–5-second read-only storms on a ClickHouse cluster down to a single 32-bit integer — and the one-line…
This is a submission for the GitHub Finish-Up-A-Thon Challenge What I Built I built a Distributed Authentication System as a long-term learning projec…
I need to tell you about the time I confidently presented a latency budget to a stakeholder and then watched it disintegrate in production like wet ti…
Why Study Real-World Architectures? Most system design discussions focus on theoretical architectures that work well on whiteboards. Real-world system…
I Built a Complete AI Infrastructure Stack from Scratch — Here's What I Learned Most AI projects start at the top of the stack. You grab an LLM API, w…
When you call an external API, things go fine until they don't. A network blip, a server restart, a rate limit. So you add a retry, and most of the ti…
The argument sounds reasonable: fewer lines of code mean fewer bugs. Simpler to review, easier to reason about, less surface area for defects. Sounds …
If you build enterprise software, you know the pain: you spend months solving complex architectural challenges, navigating network partitions, and bui…

Happy Tuesday 👋 and a warm welcome to another special edition of Tech Talks Weekly! I've been recently reading the second edition of Martin Kleppmann'…
Some systems look scalable right up until they meet real production traffic. The tests pass. Dashboards are green. The architecture diagram looks clea…
Your "Cache Invalidation is Hard" Answer Misses the Real Horror Most engineers parrot "cache invalidation is hard" as a standard interview response, b…
Blockchain technology is often associated with cryptocurrencies, but its underlying principles, decentralized consensus, immutability, and distributed…
