Practical perspectives on enterprise software development, infrastructure automation, and cloud engineering from our project experience.
Jenkins is free until it isn't. GitHub Actions is convenient until you hit the cost wall. Harness solves deployment—not builds. A direct comparison for teams choosing a CI/CD platform.
Both scale automatically—but in completely different ways. EC2 Auto Scaling handles sustained load; Lambda handles spikes. Here's the cost and latency reality for each.
ECS is simpler and AWS-native. EKS gives you Kubernetes portability and ecosystem. Here's how to choose the right container orchestration on AWS.
Terraform Cloud is HashiCorp's platform. Spacelift adds policy and flexibility. Atlantis keeps it in your PRs. Here's how to choose your Terraform workflow.
CQRS separates reads from writes. It solves real problems at scale but adds significant complexity. Here's when the trade-off is actually worth it.
Distributed transactions across microservices are hard. The saga pattern breaks them into compensatable steps—here's how it works and when to use it.
API keys are simple but limited. mTLS provides strong mutual authentication. Here's how to choose the right approach for internal service communication.
HAProxy is purpose-built for load balancing. Nginx is a web server that also load balances. Here's when the dedicated tool matters.
A practical, hype-free framework for deciding whether AI belongs in your business right now—what makes a good first use case, and the readiness gaps that quietly sink most projects.
Let's discuss how we can help you build reliable, scalable systems.
