Engineering insights on system architecture, performance, reliability, observability, and scaling software systems without slowing teams down.

How Cybersecurity Will Evolve in 2026

Cybersecurity has collapsed under its own assumptions lately. Attackers scaled faster than humans could react, identity became the weakest link, and most defenses failed exactly when clarity mattered most. In 2026, security stops being about prevention and starts being about surviving failure.

Software Is Not Flexible. It Hardens as It Grows

Software has a reputation for being forgiving, something that is easy to change, easy to fix, and easy to reshape once we finally understand the problem we were supposed to be solving. That reputation is not entirely wrong, but it only holds at very small scales and only for a short while.

Embedding Flutter Modules into Native Android and iOS Apps

We used Flutter Add-to-App to ship a side feature inside an existing Android and iOS app, saving weeks of duplicated work while keeping performance and user experience intact.

MongoDB Data Modeling: How to Design Schemas for Real-World Applications

A fast MongoDB system comes from modeling data around how your application reads and writes it. This guide breaks down how to structure documents, when to embed or reference, the patterns used in real production systems, and the indexing strategies that keep performance predictable as data grows.

The Strangler Fig Pattern: Growing Around Legacy

From the Leaning Tower of Pisa to the rainforest, the world shows us one truth: evolution beats replacement. The Strangler Fig pattern is the blueprint for evolving modern software without breaking what works.

Why the "Decentralized" Internet Keeps Breaking

The internet feels global and unbreakable, but it’s quietly centralized behind a handful of infrastructure giants. When one of them stumbles, the modern web forgets how to find itself.

The Cost of SQL Habits on MongoDB Infrastructure

Clusters get bigger, queries get slower, and everyone blames MongoDB. But the real culprit could be schema design built on relational intuition. Here’s why SQL habits are costly, and how to retrain teams to think natively in documents.

The Silent Rewrite of Software Engineering

The ground beneath software engineering is shifting, and the teams moving fastest aren’t rejecting LLMs, they’re weaponising them.

Why Rewrites Fail and Ugly Code Survives

Messiest parts of your codebase are usually the ones holding your entire business together. Rewriting them might be the fastest path to losing customers.

The Art of Breaking Things on Purpose

Instead of hoping systems don’t fail, what if you break them on purpose? To find weak spots before the world does. Netflix, Uber, and Google turned Chaos Engineering into a discipline. Here’s why it matters, how it works, and why it’s the best way to build resilient systems.
