Auditability, diagnostics, time travelling are usually the first mentioned features when speaking about Event Sourcing. All of them are great, but to me, projections are the real killer feature of an event-driven approach. Why? By Oskar Dudycz.

Amazon MemoryDB for Redis – Where speed meets consistency
Posted on November 16, 2021, Level beginner Resource Length long
Modern apps are not monolithic; they're composed of a complex graph of interconnected microservices, where the response time for one component can impact the performance of the entire system. For instance, a page load on an e-commerce website may require inputs from a dozen microservices, each of which must execute quickly to render the entire page as fast as possible so you don't lose a customer. It's critical that the data systems that support those microservices perform rapidly and reliably, and where speed is a primary concern, Redis has always been top performer. By Dr. Werner Vogels.

What is artificial intelligence and how does the EU plan to regulate it?
Posted on November 12, 2021, Level beginner Resource Length short
Receiving a film recommendation on your favourite video-on-demand platform, unblocking your phone with your face, using autocorrect, and chatting with a chatbot: all of these are everyday examples of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Despite sounding futuristic, AI is already being used by European citizens daily. Its opportunities can be endless, but there are also risks on the table. By Aida Sanchez Alonso.

Paginations 1.0: Time series collections in five minutes
Posted on October 28, 2021, Level intermediate Resource Length medium
As someone who loves to constantly measure myself and everything around me, I was excited to see MongoDB add dedicated time-series collections in MongoDB 5.0. Previously, MongoDB had been great for handling time-series data, but only if you were prepared to write some fairly complicated insert and update code and use a complex schema. In 5.0, all the hard work is done for you, including lots of behind-the-scenes optimization. By John Page.

Hosting SQLite databases on Github Pages
Posted on October 25, 2021, Level beginner Resource Length medium
I was writing a tiny website to display statistics of how much sponsored content a Youtube creator has over time when I noticed that I often write a small tool as a website that queries some data from a database and then displays it in a graph, a table, or similar. But if you want to use a database, you either need to write a backend (which you then need to host and maintain forever) or download the whole dataset into the browser (which is not so great when the dataset is more than 10MB).

Comparing the best web servers: Caddy, Apache, and Nginx
Posted on October 23, 2021, Level intermediate Resource Length medium
A web server is a piece of software that accepts a network request from a user agent, typically a web browser, and returns either the appropriate response for the request or an error message. Two dominant solutions for HTTP servers today are Apache and Nginx. However, a new player in the space, Caddy Web Server, is gaining traction for its ease of use. By Ayooluwa Isaiah.
