Analytics at Scale: Turning Millions of Click Events Into Intelligence
Part 4 explores the fascinating challenge of processing millions of click events per second while providing real-time insights. We dive deep into Azure Event Hubs for event ingestion, Stream Analytics for real-time processing, and building responsive dashboards that turn massive data streams into actionable intelligence.
From Architecture to Implementation: Building the Engine of Scale
Part 3 dives deep into the implementation details that transform architectural blueprints into production-ready code. We explore base62 encoding optimization, sophisticated API error handling, multi-tiered caching strategies, and adaptive circuit breakers that learn from system behavior to become more resilient over time.
From Napkin Sketch to Azure Blueprint: Designing Your URL Shortener’s Foundation
Part 2 of our Azure URL shortener series explores the critical architectural decisions that determine whether your system scales gracefully or collapses under load. We’ll compare Azure App Service vs Kubernetes, dive into why SQL databases often beat NoSQL for URL shorteners, and design a multi-tiered caching strategy that can handle millions of redirects per second.
Why Building a URL Shortener Taught Me Everything About Cloud Architecture
Building a URL shortener that handles 100 million URLs per day teaches fundamental lessons about cloud architecture, distributed systems, and Azure services. This series explores every architectural decision needed to build production-ready systems at scale.
