Why We Built Plainform and What It Means for Your Next Project

There is a moment every developer knows well. You have an idea. It is a good one. You open your editor, create a new project, and then reality sets in. Before you can build the thing you actually want to build, you have to build a dozen other things first. Authentication. A database. Payments. Email. Storage. Analytics. Each one is its own rabbit hole, and by the time you climb out of all of them,...

I Built a SaaS Platform From Scratch. Here's How I Architected It on AWS.

So I've been working on something for a while now. It's called TechVerse. It's a SaaS e-commerce platform, and I built the whole thing from the ground up using the MERN stack. I want to talk about the cloud architecture side of things. Not the textbook version. The real version. The one where you're staring at your screen at 2am trying to figure out why your WebSocket connections keep dropping, o...

War Story: Scaling PostgreSQL 17 to 100k IOPS for AI_ML Feature Stores with Read Replicas

In Q3 2024, our AI/ML feature store’s p99 read latency hit 2.8 seconds as training throughput spiked to 12k features/sec, with PostgreSQL 16 struggling to break 42k IOPS under heavy read workloads. We had 6 weeks to scale to 100k IOPS or face a $1.2M annualized infrastructure bill from over-provisioned single-node instances. 📡 Hacker News Top Stories Right Now Microsoft and OpenAI e...

SQL Course for Analysts: Pick, Learn, Apply Fast

Hiring managers don’t care that you “know SQL” — they care that you can answer business questions quickly and correctly. If you’re searching for a sql course for analysts, you’re probably trying to bridge that exact gap: turning tables into decisions without getting lost in database theory. What “SQL for analysts” actually means (and what it doesn’t) Analyst SQL is not backend-engineer...

Long-running Agents

A long-running agent can keep making progress over hours, days, or weeks. It can do this across many context windows and sandboxes, recover from failure, leave structured artifacts behind, and resume where it left off.

Stop Building REST APIs for AI Agents (Use JSON-RPC)

Hey DEV community, CallmeMiho here. I’ve been auditing backend architectures all week, and the amount of money being burned on "AI integration" is staggering. If you are still trying to force your AI agents to navigate hypermedia-driven REST APIs, you aren't an architect; you're a museum curator. Let's talk about why the entire industry is moving back to a 20-year-old protocol. We spent the la...

Building a real SSH workspace for iPhone and iPad

SSH from a phone has always felt useful, but rarely comfortable. Most server work happens from a laptop. But sometimes you are away and still need to check logs, restart a service, inspect disk usage, upload a file, or fix something quickly before it becomes a bigger issue. I kept running into this problem, so I built Shellora. The idea Shellora is a mobile-first SSH workspace for ...

New name and a significant feature update. Your existing Getform endpoints still work. No migration needed. But the rebrand comes with changes worth understanding before you decide whether to stay or switch. ...

GitHub Actions linters compared - actionlint, ci-doctor, sherif, octoscan

Disclosure: I maintain ci-doctor. The comparison below describes each tool by what it documents and ships, not by my opinion of its authors. Run all four on the same workflow to see for yourself. GitHub Actions YAML is small enough that one tool could in theory validate everything: syntax, secret hygiene, runner cost, supply-chain pinning, deprecated actions, untrusted inputs. In practice, the ...

The Age of Disposable Software

This article was originally written in Spanish on my personal blog: La Era del Disposable Software. I don't know if anyone has already coined the term "Disposable Software" or "single-use software," but I find the idea fascinating. Ever since the massive jump we saw starting in November 2025 in the code generation capabilities of Claude and OpenAI's models (with Claude Code and Codex, respecti...
