When a user logs on to this desktop/laptop or mobile, opens a browser, and types the name of a website, the browser displays the required information, and the user performs an action on the site. Have you ever wondered how computers retrieve this information and what happens in the background? It’s an underlying web application architecture that makes this process possible.

Disclaimer: Based on the announcement of the EO , without having seen the full text. While I am heartened to hear that the Executive Order on AI uses the Defense Production Act to compel disclosure of various data from the development of large AI models, these disclosures do not go far enough. The EO seems to be requiring only data on the procedures and results of “Red Teaming” (i.e. adversarial testing to determine a model’s flaws and weak points), and not a wider range of inf

In the world of distributed systems, the likelihood of components failing or becoming unresponsive is higher compared to monolithic systems. Given the interdependence of microservices or modules in a distributed setup, the failure of one component can lead to cascading failures throughout the system, potentially causing the entire system to malfunction or shut down.

Sometimes, there is a need to update the table and index statistics manually using the ANALYZE TABLE command. Without going further into the reasons for such a need, I wanted to refresh this subject in terms of overhead related to running the command on production systems. However, the overhead discussed here is unrelated to the usual cost of diving into table rows to gather statistics, which we can control by setting the number of sample pages.

The Initial Need Leading to CQRS The traditional CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) pattern has been a mainstay in system architectures for many years. In CRUD, reading and writing operations are usually handled by the same data model and often by the same database schema. While this approach is straightforward and intuitive, it becomes less effective as systems scale and as requirements become more complex.
