Most devs think backend = APIs.
It’s not.
It’s:
• Efficient request handling
• Clean architecture
• Smart DB design
• Caching strategies
• Security
• Reliability under load
Great backend ≠ just code
It’s systems that don’t break in the real world.
Tools change. Principles don’t.

Day 81 of Year 3
Day 812 overall since Jan 1, 2024

💻 nhcarrigan-mentorship:
• Set up Prisma and modeled my first database table
• Took another step toward building a structured backend
• Seeing the foundation come together piece by piece

From schema to structure — this is where backend systems begin to take shape. ⚙️

Software developer Petar Ivanov from the T-Shaped Dev blog shares a checklist of things one should go through mentally while working on a new database design, and when tuning a database due to performance issues.

I'm an engineer and garage tinkerer from a country where the internet is slowly being boxed in. Structured forums — those quiet, organized places where we used to share deep knowledge — are dying. Replaced by chats and algorithm-driven feeds.

So I wrote a kind of manifesto. A proposal for a decentralized, minimalist database standard for text-based communities. Something that outlives platforms, servers, and owners.

I'm here to find people who still believe in forums. Let's talk. 🧵👇 (continued in thread) #Decentralization #Forum #DatabaseDesign

Để AI thiết kế database "thông minh" hơn, FluxStack đã tích hợp thêm lớp RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) thay vì chỉ dựa vào kiến thức chung của LLM.

Cụ thể:
- Sử dụng pgvector trong Postgres để lưu trữ và tìm kiếm vector.
- Khi có yêu cầu, AI sẽ tìm kiếm các mẫu schema thực tế (SaaS, E-commerce...) trong database để tham khảo.
- Kết quả là các schema chuyên sâu, sát với thực tế thay vì các câu lệnh SQL chung chung.

My newest video is out on the @phparch #youtube channel. I go over how you can use #database #views to reduce bugs and make your code more maintainable. I also discuss #materialized views, which aren't supported by all #RDMS but are really cool and can be "faked" using other methods.
