Microservices: The Emerging Complexity Driven by Trends and Alternatives to Over‑Design
The adoption of microservice‑based architectures has grown exponentially over the past decade, often driven more by industry trends than by a careful evaluation of system requirements. This phenomenon has generated unnecessarily complex implementations—like using a bazooka to kill an ant. Distributed architectures without solid foundations in domain capabilities, workloads, operational independence, or real scalability needs […]
Beyond the Version Bump: Lessons from Upgrading React Native 0.72.7 → 0.82
Introduction When I started investigating the React Native upgrade from 0.72.7 to 0.82, my initial goal was simple: Check breaking changes and library compatibility. But very quickly, I realized this upgrade was not just a version bump. It was deeply tied to React Native’s New Architecture, especially Fabric UI Engine and TurboModules. This blog shares what I discovered, […]
