  • SQL vs NoSQL: Two Ways to Store Data, One Decision to Get Right

    One database choice, made in week one, quietly shapes a system for years. SQL and NoSQL are not rivals and neither is “newer and better” — they are two different answers to one question: how is your data shaped, and how will it be asked for? The two shapes SQL (relational). Data in tables of…


  • The System Design Staircase: What to Learn, In What Order

    System design feels overwhelming for one reason: people try to learn it from the top step. Consensus algorithms before load balancers. Distributed transactions before databases. The knowledge is a staircase, not a pile — each step assumes the one below it, and climbing in order turns a scary subject into a sequence of small, obvious…

    Every food order, cab ride, payment, and delivery tracking screen you have ever watched was powered by events moving between systems. Kafka is the backbone most of those systems chose. Twelve concepts explain nearly all of it — and they build on each other in order. 1. Producer. Anything that creates events: an app, a…
