Just do a normal merge, then squash all your commits in into one, using rebase, then a rebase onto a branch is easy.

For when you inevitably need to expose the ids to the public the uuids prevent a number of attacks that sequential numbers are vulnerable to. In theory they can also be faster/conv…

I would hope you are not allowing IoT devices direct access to your database. There is no saving that haha.

Most large scale web applications spend their time reading and writing data, both to/from clients and to/from other remote services such as databases. You don't need thousands of h…

To be clear pgbouncer does not add connections to postgres or remove the connection bottleneck. Its still there under the covers. If you are saturating your connections it will not…

Don't spin up 50 pods. You have outscaled your database. You can't make IO operations faster by throwing more workers at it and you can only have so many connections working at onc…

Is this because your default approach is to horizontally scale or because you have tried other options? Logically scaling vertically a single server with pooled connections should …

If you are running aws lambdas I believe you should be using the RDS proxy product(This is a very similar product though).

This still doesn't really make sense to me. You can't scale an application that relies on a database heavily to this level because your fundamental constraint IS the database. If y…

PgBouncer has always left me confused in the world of application level connection pooling. I have never quite understand the value of it if we are already using connection pools i…

Poorly vs well structured code.

It depends. The come and go based on legislation and the current fixed interest rates. They were very popular for a bit but as the fixed rates kept dipping they seemed to mostly va…

Auto generated client code is nice in theory. In practice I find it only really useful as a starting point. There are enough choices to be made in writing even a simple HTTP api th…

Your example is missing anything actually related to rendering a webpage.

The tooling is far from simplistic to setup and the available options can be overwhelming. Its all the pain of the JS stack but with less easily available help and tooling that pro…

I felt literal pain reading this.

Surprisingly, or maybe not, slf4j requires an implementation to be provided at runtime to log anything.

You can use a redis to distribute messages via PUB/SUB. The sockets subscribe to the events that are relevant to them. It can handle thousands of messages a second in a local envir…

Windows....enough said.

Strategic missile defense almost entirely a complete waste of money. https://www.ucsusa.org/resources/disastrous-us-approach-stra...

12 factor apps sacrifice performance and simplicity of your environment for scalability. Unless you are guaranteed to start with a worldwide audience its complete overkill. A bette…

Until you attempt to multithread the logic and everything breaks.

This article mentions node dependencies and ignores the innumerable number of libraries down the stack to the bare metal. Even if you wanted to spend the time writing your applicat…

One of the bigger problems is that exceptions are slow. Thus the recommendation is not to use them in cases where the caller could branch on. A perfect example is a missing element…
