Greetings on Day 7 of "The 12 Days of DEV"! ππ As we approach the year's end, let's journey through the top two articles of July 2023.
This compilation showcases the community's favorites, determined by a mix of comments, reactions, and page views (with just a very subtle touch of editorial curation). And while these articles shine as the most popular, it's worth noting that they vary from the DEV team's chosen Weekly Top 7 (though there might be some shared gems.) π
@kanani_nirav recounts the 2017 events at GitLab when one dev accidentally erased the entire production database, wiping out 6 hours worth of data from GitLab.com. What went wrong, how did GitLab fix it, and what did they learn from it?
Calling for a human-centric approach to API design, @paulasjes provides solid guidance for how to approach API creation using design patterns to help keep you focused on your specific userβs needs and expectations.
Stay tuned for the next installment of "The 12 Days of DEV" as we continue to unwrap the community's favorite articles. Happy reading, and we look forward to sharing more highlights with you! ππ
