Ever wonder how tree data structures are used in real-world applications? How are they stored in a database, and how can you perform CRUD operations on them from the frontend?
nomad
We recently switched from Kubernetes to Nomad to manage our infrastructure. At first, with two nodes and multiple services,we had a hard time getting the request routing to work reliably. In this post, I’ll walk through how we built an efficient and low-cost service discovery solution for our
LiveAPI
In this article, we will explore essential metrics for enhancing your API documentation and setting up analytics to monitor live user interactions with APIs. Learn how to optimize your documentation and provide a better user experience
design
In this article, I will explain several design principles adopted from successful products, how these products strictly adhere to these principles, and how to implement these designs efficiently.
API
API docs are intended to be user-friendly, but they often fall short. This causes confusion and delayed integration time. These principles will help the docs become more benefitting to the user.
Managing SQL tasks manually can be tedious, so we developed a custom command to simplify these tasks. By integrating this tool into our workflow, we have significantly improved our productivity and minimized the risk of human error in SQL task management.
