Multitask learning at LinkedIn π·ββοΈ
When you have several learning tasks that are somehow similar, it makes sense to leverage multitask learning to increase performance and quality of learning. However, with such an approach new difficulties emerge like a different set of features for tasks, different input datasets etc. LinkedIn shared a post explaining how they handle those issues with their multitask learning framework.

Types of CQRS π·ββοΈ
When you learn about CQRS, you typically think binary: either you have one, or you don't. Vladimir Khorikov reasons about CQRS in a gradual manner: you can indeed have no CQRS, but then you can have stage 1, 2 and three. Read the article to know the difference and when you need to apply a particular stage.

Scalable Annotation Service at Netflix π·ββοΈ
Netflix wanted to store the annotations - some metadata - for any objects of theirs: from whole movies to particular timeframes. They wanted to do that in a unified, performant and scalable fashion. So they created Marken. Read how they employed Cassandra and ElasticSearch to accomplish the goal.

Software Build Systems πΌ
This week I took an interview with Artem Zinnatullin about Software Build Systems. We discussed what you should expect from a good build system - performance, scalability, learning curve - and what you, as an architect of a software architect, should know about them. We also covered the evolution of build systems from Ant to Bazel and speculated about their future.

ChatGPT is a Blurry JPEG of the Web πΌ
Did you know that Xerox copying machines are not doing the direct copy? Instead they scan the document, analyze it, compress and then decompress for printing. ChatGPT is simingly doing the same - analyzing and compressing the data from the web and giving us it's own - and blurry - image of the web. But what we prefer better?

Platform Engineering Teams Done Right π·ββοΈ
Platform Engineering term is on hype now due to the popularity of Team Topologies and overall discussion on how to apply DevOps practices in a right way. Adrian Cockcroft is sharing his ideas about the principles you should build the Platform Teams. And the plural here is no wonder, as it appears you should have several platform teams covering different layers of a platform - and it's no wonder - due to the level of complexity we now have. Find a great article and example of organization structuring in the end of the article.

Design Considerations for High Throughput Cloud Native Relational Database π€
Amazon Aurora is built with an idea of separation compute from storage for the resilience. The way how they commit data in multinode system is through redo log associated witha a database. The paper describes how the Network IO looks like in Aurora, how the traffic goes through it's nodes and finally shares the learning from building a complex cloud based database system.

Ongoing Security: a step-by-step guide to a secure app development process π·ββοΈ
Some companies think that they can add security as some step in the CI/CD pipeline, but that obviously does not work. Security impacts the application architecture, the threats have significant impact on the data formats and protocols and many other reasons. This week I published the article explaining those and providing receipts what to do at every step of the development lifecycle. This is also just a first article in the series, so make sure to subscribe!

Uber's Move to the Cloud π·ββοΈ
When you start a new product or a company, you always ask yourself: should I go with the cloud or do something on-prem? Of course, it takes a lot of considerations, starting with a budget and ending with the technologies and available talent. From this perspective, it is fascinating how Uber operating on-prem for more than 12 years decided to move to the cloud. The Pragmatic Engineer newsletter delivers 2 parts of this journey and covers the story of data centres at Uber, the reasoning for the migration and of course the cloud migration problems.

Roblox 3-days long outage π€
When a known company's services with millions of users are offline for 15 minutes it is already a tragedy. Facebook was down for several hours last year, and it caused a global panic. Roblox - a gaming company - was down for 3 days which is an infinite timespan. Roblox relies heavily on HashiCorp products like Vault and Consul, and the incident was connected to the usage of those - especially the usage of a new feature in Consul that triggered a pathological issue in its open-source engine - BoltDB. Find a summary on protocol.com, as well as a detailed Post Mortem from Roblox themselves.

Cloud-Bound Applications πΌ
If you consider the whole environment of the application running in a modern cloud, be it a container, a VM or a lambda function, you will discover two sets of bindings: compute bindings and integration bindings. While the first set is transparent to developers and basically means a form of delivery(docker container or just a binary), the second one includes all sorts of APIs and protocols to leverage the platform resources and external services. If you add their stateful and asynchronous binding you will get a landscape of a Cloud-Bound application. To know more, follow a long-read which is not poor with the illustrations though.

Container Security Fundamentals part 2 π€
Containers are used everywhere, and there are tons of best practices around container security. But suppose you need to understand why those practices are in place, or you just want to understand container security better. In that case, I recommend reading a series of articles on container security fundamentals by Datadog. They explain how the containers are mostly Linux processes and continue to show that Linux applies the namespaces across multiple parameters to secure those. Follow the details inside.

Master the Art of Caching for System Design Interviews π·ββοΈ
Caching is an essential technique in system design, which can help improve the performance of applications, reduce latency, and save resources. However, caching can be a double-edged sword, as it can also introduce some challenges, such as consistency and invalidation. This article provides a comprehensive guide on caching, covering everything from the basics to the advanced topics. It starts with an introduction to caching, including its definition, benefits, and types, such as in-memory, disk-based, and distributed caching. It then dives into the different caching strategies and algorithms, such as Least Recently Used (LRU), Least Frequently Used (LFU), and Random Replacement.

Database Versioning Best Practices π·ββοΈ
You can think that all the industry switched to versioning of the database schemes long ago and everybody is using something like Flyway or Liquibase for that. The reality is that it is far from true. That's why I decided to highlight a several-years old, but still very actual post by Vladimir Khorikov on Database Versioning. Grab 6 best practices on storing version inside the db itself, having the immutable SQL files, keeping them in the source control and some others.

How to do distributed locking π€
Locking is a typical approach for consistency: for example, you lock a row in a database so that only one process can modify it. However, in a distributed system it becomes much harder due to network delays. I want to share another old article on how to handle distributed locks by Martin Kleppmann - with an example of Redis.

Database Versioning Best Practices π·ββοΈ
You can think that all the industry switched to versioning of the database schemes long ago and everybody is using something like Flyway or Liquibase for that. The reality is that it is far from true. That's why I decided to highlight a several-years old, but still very actual post by Vladimir Khorikov on Database Versioning. Grab 6 best practices on storing version inside the db itself, having the immutable SQL files, keeping them in the source control and some others.

Large Scale Ad Data Systems at Booking.com using GCP πΌ
How much money Booking.com spends on advertising yearly you think? It's almost 5 billions! With such a budget, you definitely want to spend it wisely. In this article in their Engineering Blog, Warren Qi shares how Booking.com is using BigQuery to analyze the efficiency of their ad-campaigns, and how the Spanner is leveraged to combine different data into useful views.

How to do distributed locking π€
Locking is a typical approach for consistency: for example, you lock a row in a database so that only one process can modify it. However, in a distributed system it becomes much harder due to network delays. I want to share another old article on how to handle distributed locks by Martin Kleppmann - with an example of Redis. Grab a read.

Transactional Data Lake with Incremental ETL at Uber π·ββοΈ
Batch processing is a powerful tool able to process tons of data. However, if the major part of this data does not change much, you can lose on the efficiency and the latency. Uber's blog features an article by Sara Wilmes-Reitz on the idea of incremental ETL processes, allowing them to update the information much quicker and with lower latency. Follow the article for details.

Google Sheets as backend π·ββοΈ
When you start a new project you probably think, hey, I would pick MongoDB, or I want a PostgreSQL installation. But some successful projects start with none other than Google Sheets as their storage. It appears it is scalable, simple, and it's easy to integrate with. Find a great post by Levels.fyi - a site with literally salary bands of IT industry - where they show the evolution of their system design, which started with Google Forms and Google Sheets.

Reality Check Pattern πΌ
Have you ever encountered your navigation software telling you you're in a river while you were driving a highway? Well, Uwe Friedrechson just did, and a resiliency architect, he immediately came up with the pattern which he called "A reality check". It means that your system should check the signals from the outside world, and, if they stop making sense, change the state to something like safe mode, where it could not mislead the user or harm them.

What is the difference between Principal Engineer and Software Architect? Should Architect be a Role or a Title? How to avoid screwing up your organization by introducing the Architects rotting up in their Ivory Tower? The person named mipsytipsi wrote a long read after a discussion in Twitter where the attitude toward the title was collected. Funny, that the post confuses the title and the role... but it's still an entertaining read nonetheless.

Workflow Orchestration π·ββοΈ
The common approach to a distributed transaction is a saga either orchestrated or via choreography. However, sagas compensation can not be always possible or at least expensive, like refunding the money sent for payment due to commissions. One of the ideas to solve the problem is the workflow approach, which camunda or temporal.io is implementing. This way you have a separate component which responsibility is only to manage the workflows and ensure they finish or complete gracefully. Follow the article for details.

Capturing a billion Emojis π·ββοΈ
Sports events are crowded - and on the internet even to a bigger degree. The companies who handle the broadcasting are willing to make them interactive so that users can show their reactions to particular events of the show - with emojis of course.

Check out the post by Oliver Molander where he analyzes all the hype around it.

Operating Lambda: Performance Optimization π·ββοΈ
When you start using Lambdas, the first problem you observe is a long startup time.

However, this solution is not universal: it does not help during increased load or starting a Lambda in a different AZ. Grab the read about available performance optimizations for Lambda and the anatomy of Lambda's start.
