I wrote a new book that has been in the works for years. It is called Root Cause, and it is for those who enjoy the art of backend engineering.Early in my career, 20 years ago, I built backend and database applications without fully grasping their inner mechanics. Performance iss ...  Show more

In this video I introduce 5 different design patterns for building backend applications. Each mode explains how a socket listener is established, a connections are established and how threads and connections are managed to read, write and process requests.

The history of computing has been a story of moving up levels of abstraction: from hard-coding algorithms and directly manipulating memory addresses with assembly languages to using more natural language constructs in high-level general purpose languages to abstracting the har ...
