Database Sharding & Partitioning

A complete guide to horizontal scaling — sharding strategies, consistent hashing, cross-shard complexities, rebalancing, distributed ID generation, and real-world database comparisons.

Rate Limiting Algorithms

A comprehensive guide to rate-limiting algorithms, including Token Bucket, Leaky Bucket, Fixed Window, Sliding Window Log, and Sliding Window Counter. Covers workflow mechanics, trade-offs, and distributed scaling.

Scaling Reads

Strategies for handling high read QPS including caching layers, read replicas, CDN, CQRS, and database indexing. Covers Redis patterns, cache invalidation, consistency models, fan-out strategies, and senior-level deep dives into coherence, hot keys, and tail latency.

Scaling Writes

Deep-dive into high write throughput techniques — sharding, partitioning, WAL internals, LSM trees, async pipelines, batching, backpressure, idempotency, and distributed transactions — with production Java/Spring code and failure mode analysis.
