"Don't use your database as a queue" is one of those pieces of engineering orthodoxy that gets repeated so often it starts to feel like a law. It isn't. It's a guideline with a scale constraint attached, and for most workloads that constraint is never...

Agile has a reputation problem. Depending on who you ask, it's either the salvation of software delivery or the source of its dysfunction. Standups that waste everyone's morning. Sprints that deliver activity but not progress. Velocity charts that management...

The modern scaling landscape is overwhelming. Queues, event buses, microservices, serverless, Kubernetes. The list of "essential" technologies grows longer every year. It's very easy to get lost in the choices, and even easier to feel pressure to adopt...

SQLite often gets presented or pigeonholed as a lightweight, embedded "toy" database for simple applications. But to truly unlock its potential, tech teams need to shift their perspective. It's not just a database; it's a highly sophisticated file format, and...

As a technical system grows in scale and complexity, teams require more checks, balances, and standards to keep development manageable and maintain delivery velocity. While practices like feature flags and contract testing are common at this stage, one...
