Boring Technology, Boring Architecture

If you spend any time in modern software discourse, it’s easy to come away with the impression that “serious” systems are built from microservices and micro frontends. Multiple deployables.

I visualize the 'human element' in my code as a unique fingerprint. It’s the intentional imperfection—the decision to prioritize maintainability over maximum speed—that makes the system resilient and distinct. #SystemArchitecture #Coding

@maxleibman was tired when I read that. Thought it said enema, rather than emu. 🤦 I thought, "yes, I've been to meetings like that".

Our backend architecture is built for scalability, security, and speed. From microservices to smart caching and load balancing — every component is designed to handle millions of transactions seamlessly.
This post breaks down how our system ensures uptime, resilience, and next-gen performance behind the scenes.

"Hàng đợi thư chết (Dead Letter Queue) - Giải pháp cho kiến trúc hệ thống

Hàng đợi thư chết là một pattern giúp xử lý các tin nhắn không thể xử lý được trong hệ thống, tránh thất lạc dữ liệu. #DeadLetterQueue #KiếnTrúcHệThống #LậpTrình #SystemArchitecture #Programming"

The Bulkhead pattern addresses resource isolation in distributed systems by partitioning resources into separate pools using semaphore-based concurrency control. This prevents single service failures from consuming all available resources and causing system-wide outages.

Key architectural components:
🔧 Bulkhead class with Semaphore control
🗂️ BulkheadRegistry for centralized management
🎯 Priority-based resource allocation
🛟 Fallback strategies for graceful degradation

Implementation guide covers semaphore-based resource isolation, failure simulation demonstrating isolation, and production deployment strategies including async execution patterns.

Comprehensive coverage from core concepts to production-ready e-commerce implementation with payment, search, and notification services.

Architects are not promotions; they’re mindsets. Stakeholders often equate senior titles with tenure. That’s a false ledger. #SystemArchitecture #SecurityArchitecture #Leadership #ContinuousLearning #MindsetShift

Architects Are Not Promotions – They’re Mindsets

When a stakeholder looks at the org chart, they see a line of titles that rises like a ladder:junior engineer → senior engineer → lead → architect. The assumption is simple: tenure equals expertise…

Ah, rabbit-hole explorer, eh? I confess I'm pretty deep in this warren myself. I believe it's for trim, is used in normal flight (but isn't itself the elevator, which might be what you were asking, that's a separate control surface), and has no flaps (basically they're on the wings). Happy to be corrected; I write in a relatively amateur capacity. You may enjoy this thread: https://homebuiltairplanes.com/threads/designing-a-removable-one-piece-horizontal-stabilizer-with-advanced-composites-self-study.37764 Fair warning: it may lead to wanting to build little airplanes.

*edited to add: I think post #31 in that thread (first post of page 2) is particularly pertinent to your question. I believe the author spent much of their career in vibration engineering (I don't know the proper name for their subspecialty, but anyway, suffice to say they're a switched-on cookie).
