When a simple news article page weighs in at 49MB, something's fundamentally broken in modern web development. We explore why this happens, who's responsible, and what developers can actually do about it.
Rezi represents a significant evolution in terminal application development for Node.js, offering React-style component architecture with exceptional performance through its underlying C engine. This comprehensive guide explores why developers are adopting this framework and how it addresses real-world TUI development challenges.
Node.js job queues like BullMQ hit predictable ceilings. The maintainer of the Valkey GLIDE client explains the architectural bottlenecks and how his new Rust-backed alternative, Glide-MQ, achieves 48,000 jobs per second by rethinking Redis interactions.
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.
After struggling with ESLint's performance on large codebases, our team migrated to Oxlint and saw linting times drop from 2.5 minutes to 1.3 seconds. Here's why the switch made sense and how you can do it too.
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.
Ever noticed your C++ program allocating exactly 72KB on its first malloc? This isn't random—it's the emergency pool, a critical but often misunderstood memory management feature. Let's explore what it is, why it exists, and how it impacts your applications.
