Non-trivial tips for database development

Physics engines are responsible for figuring out where each object in a scene is over time. Objects can collide with one another, then choose to respond in several ways. It’s a generic problem that the user can configure at several different levels. Do they want a collider? Do they want to respond to collisions? Do they want to simulate dynamics? They could want dynamics, but not gravity. It’s a problem that calls for good planning and robust design.

Stackoverflow tech stack is very standarize, and they always try to scale vertically, as in just using a single big database instead of sharding into multiple servers. They have amazing performance given their huge traffic. In this post, Taryn shares the journey of migrating their traffic log data.

If you use Stackoverflow, and enjoy their approach to lean and simple engineering, then why not see how their performance looks like

Envoy is a new load balancer by Lyft, design for dynamic environment. You can change its configuration without the need of generating static config file and trigger a reload like Nginx. For performance, at scale Envoy is a bit better.

Every website will have to deal with bots at some time, good bad, bad bot. Imagine how much bot traffic cloudflare has to deal with?

If you ever have to send out email from your app, and have to deal with DKIM and SPF and struggle with all the thing that you have to go through to make your email delivery reliably to your audience, then this post is for you.

Walk you through process of writing a file system driver so you can pre-allocate a raw file which will be used to house your … files, then mount it, then finally access it through normal file system API. You can create file, ls file. The post ins’t too heavy on Rust b ut give a nice entry introduction to file system.

Some basic ideas and starting points on scaling traditional SQL databases.

How hard that sound? Actually a virtual machine is quite simple in its own. Basica idea is a loop that fetch the instruction from a pre-defined location, that’s intruction is what your virtual machine can do.

You can use its as it’s or customization for your own engineering team
