Remember when web development meant thick reference books and Dreamweaver? We explore how HTML evolved from static pages to API-driven applications, and why that 1998 knowledge still matters today.
That sinking feeling when an ancient API breaks your modern application isn't just nostalgia—it's a real development challenge. We explore why legacy APIs persist, how to handle them, and what 2026 developers need to know about API time capsules.
After analyzing countless production failures and community discussions, here's everything you need to know about implementing robust graceful shutdowns in Node.js Express applications. This guide covers what the official docs miss and what AI gets wrong.
We dive deep into Node.js performance from versions 16 through 25, analyzing the real-world impact of V8 engine improvements, memory management changes, and API optimizations that actually matter for your applications.
Social filesystems represent a paradigm shift in how we manage digital content. By treating files as social objects with rich metadata and APIs, they enable unprecedented collaboration and automation. Here's what developers need to know in 2026.
Microservices have become a default architecture choice, but at what scale do they actually deliver value instead of creating complexity? We explore the real thresholds based on developer experiences and practical guidelines.
In 2026, the choice between MongoDB and PostgreSQL for JSON document handling isn't as clear-cut as you might think. We dive deep into real performance benchmarks, storage efficiency, and search capabilities to help you make the right architectural decision.
Developers instinctively reach for WebSockets for real-time features, but Server-Sent Events handle one-way server-to-client communication with less complexity. This guide explores when SSE is the better choice and how to overcome its authentication challenges.
Rust 1.94.0 brings significant improvements to async programming, stabilized APIs, and enhanced tooling. This release addresses real-world developer pain points while maintaining Rust's commitment to safety and performance.
Explore the Node.js patterns essential for a smooth production environment, based on two years of real-world experience.
Building Node.js microservices at scale reveals painful lessons you won't find in tutorials. From graceful shutdown failures to monitoring blind spots, here's what six years and 30+ services taught me about what really matters in production.
When Microsoft's API restrictions and Azure limitations started breaking workflows, developers found themselves with no choice but to migrate to Linux. Here's why this shift happened and what it means for the future of development.
