I feel like data storage scalability in distributed or not systems is often overlooked. Whenever we talk about scalability, we usually imply processing scalability in distributed systems. We talk about ways to scale out dedicated service clusters without downtimes or data flow interruptions. I’ve written a few articles about it myself. But today, let’s talk about data scalability. How can we efficiently handle massive data sets without downtime or performance implications?

Nowadays hard to find any piece of software that does not use JavaScript in one way or another. Anything from small startups to large enterprises use tools and apps written in JavaScript, builds tools and apps in JavaScript...

Clean Architecture is a pretty bold statement and quite a hollow and opaque thing to say. I think of Clean Architecture as philosophy. It is not about the system today, but about the system today and tomorrow. More details inside

Systems do evolve and unavoidably evolution leads to breaking changes... If you are doing event sourcing, events evolution is unavoidable, ultimately you will crash 🔥🚒 into it. The more you know, the better you prepared, as they say 🤓
