• HTMX: a setup ready for Production
  2024-05-04
  HTMX is a promising technology that simplifies many things when building web applications/systems ... That is great when it comes to local development and simple experiments, but what about Production?
• Load Testing: how many HTTP requests/second can a Single Machine handle?
  2024-03-28
  When designing systems and deciding on the architecture, I often hear justifying the use of microservices and other complex solutions because of the predicted performance and scalability needs. Out of curiosity then, let's test the limits of an extremely simple approach, the simplest possible one.
• Kubernetes: maybe a few Bash/Python scripts is enough
  2024-03-09
  When it comes to the infrastructure of a software system, there are some features that are virtually always needed, independently of the project nature, and some that are additional, optional, or useful only in some projects and contexts ... Infrastructure is a crucial component of every software system: what do we need from it?
• HTMX and Web Components: a Perfect Match
  2023-12-21
  Web Components are a set of browser APIs that allow us to create custom HTML elements. They are one of the major things that SPA (Single Page Application) frameworks have been giving us for a long time ... HTMX is highly interesting, useful and a promising technology. It simplifies many things and allows us to build SPA or SPA-like applications without complex tooling, dependencies, frameworks and mostly without writing application-specific JavaScript code.
• Modular Monolith and Microservices: Modularity is what truly matters
  2023-11-26
  Modularity is a crucial concept when designing and creating software. Independent of whether our chosen architecture style is to have a single unit of deployment - Monolith or multiple units of deployment - Microservices/Services. It is a quality that should be treated completely independent of how many deployable units of software we choose to have.
