The Architecture Nobody Talks About: How I Built Systems That Actually Scale (And Why Most Don't)
Let me tell you about the worst production incid...

This is a great article. Very thorough and with useful examples - thanks.
Two very minor quibbles:
1) I think what you're imparting is wisdom/experience not just knowledge. Wisdom is what you gain with the experiences of applying your knowledge in the real world. I think it's important to start distinguishing - because wisdom in general has a higher value than knowledge alone. And AI has vast knowledge but zero wisdom/experience
2) How did you know it was me that broke production?? 🙂
Thank You Sir ♥
Wow that's an eye-opener if there ever was one - this is stuff I've rarely seen ANYONE discuss, well at least not in this level of detail ...
This is the rare category of "stuff that's super important, but which for some unknown reason nobody ever talks about"!
@dev.to :-) can this post go in an upcoming "Top 7 dev.to posts of the week" article?
P.S. the only caveat that I have is: of course this architecture adds a LOT of complexity, and for "simple" systems which don't really need to "scale" that much it's probably overkill - I mean, these patterns should not just be applied "everywhere" without thought or consideration ...
Another thought I had while reading this: I feel that some of these "mechanisms" should be implemented at the "framework level" (if you use, let's say, Django, or Laravel) - the "application layer" wouldn't necessarily need to be aware of all of the details ...
Thank You ♥
Thanks for the insightful article.
Thanks
Very cool
Thanks
High-quality content! Thanks so much for sharing your in-depth experience with us — really appreciated! 🤝
Thank you ♥
What a great read for engineers! I will continue implementing some of this in the systems that I manage.
Thanks
This is brilliant thanks a lot
Thank You So Much ♥
Great article and useful examples. Thanks for sharing :)

This is a great article, thanks.
Thank You
Remember reading that Netflix stress tests it's system for lot of failure scenarios it predicts . Thats why Netflix rarely lags eventhough it streams such a huge load of data .
Ok
