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.
Building scalable software architectures for large-scale applications
Discover proven strategies for building software architectures that scale from thousands to millions of users. Learn practical patterns, real-world case studies, and avoid common pitfalls that cause applications to fail under load.
