Have you ever picked up a project that became so complex you felt like a 'fresher' all over again?
One such challenging project I delivered was a crypto exchange engine, where the objective was to deliver 2K+ TPS in a vertically scaled system to avoid conflicts and minimize latency.
When traditional CRUD APIs and SQL architectures failed, we developed an in-memory engine in C, backed by the resiliency of MySQL and Kafka for the backup and restoration of the in-memory state using sequential logs.
The result 10K+ TPS per CPU Core with a proven scalability to 1M+ TPS
Static designs can't always showcase their full potential. That's why your architecture projects need a website that helps them reach their full potential.
A good developer doesn't always need to write more code.
Sometimes the best decision is:
Let's not build this.
If a feature doesn't solve an important problem, improve the user experience, or create business value, adding it only makes the product more complicated.
Over time, I've learned that knowing what not to build is just as important as knowing how to build it.
