Why lazy coding practices will ALWAYS cost you more in the long run
Posted on December 19, 2021, Level beginner Resource Length long
The idea of clean code gained popularity with the publication of Robert Cecil Martin's "Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship" in 2008. However, the principles of clean code date back to the beginning of software development, and Martin's book is an essential manual for people who aim for cleanly written code. It's a programming classic, and if you're serious about coding, you should read this book cover to cover! By Ritesh Shah.

Zero trust workload security with GKE, Traffic Director, and CA Service
Posted on November 18, 2021, Level intermediate Resource Length medium
At the core of a zero trust approach to security is the idea that trust needs to be established via multiple mechanisms and continuously verified. Internally, Google has applied this thinking to the end-to-end process of running production systems and protecting workloads on cloud-native infrastructure, an approach we call BeyondProd. By Anoosh Saboori Product Manager, Zero Trust and Sanjay Pujare, Tech Lead, Proxyless gRPC Security.

Replace traditional email mailbox polling with real-time reads using Amazon SES and Lambda
Posted on November 17, 2021, Level intermediate Resource Length medium
Integrating emails into an automated workflow for automated processing can be challenging. Traditionally, applications have had to use the POP protocol to connect to mail servers and poll for emails to arrive in a mailbox and then process the messages inline and perform actions on the message. This can be an inefficient mechanism and prone to errors that result in the workflow missing messages. Since this method requires polling it's not great if you need real-time processing of messages and introduces inefficiencies in the design. By Syed Ali Abbas Gardezi and Satish Natarajan.

Amazon MemoryDB for Redis – Where speed meets consistency
Posted on November 16, 2021, Level beginner Resource Length long
Modern apps are not monolithic; they're composed of a complex graph of interconnected microservices, where the response time for one component can impact the performance of the entire system. For instance, a page load on an e-commerce website may require inputs from a dozen microservices, each of which must execute quickly to render the entire page as fast as possible so you don't lose a customer. It's critical that the data systems that support those microservices perform rapidly and reliably, and where speed is a primary concern, Redis has always been top performer. By Dr. Werner Vogels.
