Build Resilient Systems with the Circuit Breaker Pattern
How to prevent cascading failures in distributed systems using circuit breakers with open, closed, and half-open states in Java, TypeScript, and Python.
Design Event-Driven Systems with Event Buses and Brokers
How to build loosely coupled systems using events, event buses, message brokers, and event sourcing for growth-ready asynchronous communication between services.
Distribute Traffic with Load Balancing Algorithms
How to distribute incoming requests across multiple servers using round-robin, least-connections, weighted, and consistent hashing algorithms with health checks and failover.
Manage Distributed Transactions with the Saga Pattern
How to implement saga orchestration and choreography to maintain data consistency across microservices without distributed transactions or two-phase commit.
CQRS Pattern
Separate read and write operations into different models, optimizing each for their specific workload. A data pattern for scalable systems.
Throttling Pattern
Limit the rate at which a system processes requests or consumes resources to prevent overload, ensure fair usage, and maintain predictable performance under varying load.
Capacity Planning Template
A reusable template for planning system capacity, estimating growth, and preventing performance bottlenecks before they happen.
CQRS — Command Query Responsibility Segregation
A complete guide to CQRS: separate read and write models to optimize performance, scalability, and team autonomy in complex domains.
Microservices Architecture — When to Use and When Not To
A practical guide to microservices: benefits, trade-offs, common patterns, and when to choose them over monoliths. Covers decomposition strategies and operational complexity.
Software Architecture Guide
A guide to designing software architecture: monoliths vs microservices, layered architecture, data flow, and technology selection criteria.
System Design Interview Guide: Key Concepts
A practical guide to system design interviews: scalability, databases, caching, load balancing, microservices, and how to structure your answer.
Database Sharding and Partitioning Strategies
A practical guide to horizontal partitioning (sharding), vertical partitioning, and range vs hash strategies. Scale databases without downtime.
