Implementing Soft Delete with Filtered Indexes in Entity Framework Core

SaaS or Self-Hosting? What I Would Actually Use?

Since 2011 I've been developing digital signage software, today mostly open source, and I co-own a company that sells both: SaaS licenses and self-hosting support. No hidden agenda here, just 15+ years of watching what actually happens when businesses choose one over the other. When SaaS makes sense If you're running a handful of screens for a short-term campaign, or you just need some...

Most Real-Time Platforms Don't Fail From Scale. They Fail From Ambiguity

A lot of engineering teams spend time preparing for scale before they prepare for ambiguity. That sounds backward at first, but in practice ambiguity is what breaks many real-time systems long before traffic does. Not infrastructure ambiguity. Operational ambiguity. The kind that shows up when a system technically works, but nobody can clearly answer basic questions like: What state is this r...

Why I built a Zero-Server PDF Editor with React & pdf-lib (and skipped WASM)

The Privacy Bottleneck Merging tax documents or signing contracts often forces a compromise: convenience vs. security. Standard free tools require uploading sensitive data to remote cloud servers, leading to potential data persistence and server log exposure. The objective: Zero data leakage. Files must never leave the local device. Engineering Decisions: Browser RAM vs. 500MB PDFs The common ar...

Reading a Kubernetes bill: what each line item actually means

The bill arrived on a Tuesday, up 38% on last month, and finance wanted to know why by Friday. The attachment was 2,400 lines of m5.2xlarge, persistent-disk-ssd, network-inter-region-egress. Nothing that mapped to a namespace, a team, or anything anyone in the room recognised. If you run Kubernetes in production you've had this week, or you will. And the thing that makes it hard isn't the size of...

From Backend Engineer to Building AI Infrastructure at a Startup

What does it look like to go from a six-person startup team to running the infrastructure behind 1,000+ AI models? Matteo and I have known each other for over 10 years, but I realized I'd never actually asked him about his engineering journey in depth. I knew he was doing infrastructure work, but I didn't know the full story of how he got there. This conversation filled in a lot of gaps for me. ...
