Inspired by Dave Cheney’s classic post, this article explores how the functional options pattern can make your Go APIs cleaner, more extensible, and a joy to use, demonstrated with a practical example.
A deep-dive case study on optimizing a Rails app, tackling everything from slow data imports (using bulk inserts) to sluggish page loads (fixing N+1 queries and adding database indexes). We cut import times by 40% and page loads by over 90%.
An architectural breakdown of solving a concurrency challenge in Ruby, moving from a naive sequential model to a robust, scalable pattern using structured concurrency.
A step-by-step walkthrough of how we optimized a Ruby script that was too slow to run, reducing its runtime to under 30 seconds using a methodical, profile-driven approach.
A case study on how we reduced the memory footprint of a data-processing Ruby script from over 200MB to under 70MB by ditching CSV.read and adopting a streaming, batch-processing approach.
A step-by-step guide on how I reverse-engineered the booking website’s private API to build a Ruby script that instantly finds available tickets for Berlin’s popular Museum Sunday.
A detailed walkthrough of how our team of six built a car rental website from scratch, focusing on our goals, technology stack, and the features we implemented, including an advanced integration with rental management software.
A deep dive into my custom, privacy-friendly blog traffic analysis system built with a Go authentication service, Nginx Ingress, OpenTelemetry, and SigNoz for powerful observability.
A complete walkthrough of the infrastructure powering this blog, built on a free Oracle Cloud account, managed with Terraform, and deployed to Kubernetes with full observability using SigNoz.
