• How to Write Authorization Middleware for Express.js Applications

  Casbin provides an external policy engine if your permission model grows complex enough that a centralized JS function becomes hard to maintain. Open Policy Agent serves the same purpose for multi-service architectures. Node.js and Express.js documentation cover the middleware pattern in detail. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• GraphQL vs REST: 18 Claims Fact-Checked with Primary Sources (2026)

  Many REST frameworks also ship with limited security controls enabled by default. Express.js , a minimal web framework, does not include rate limiting or input validation out of the box and relies on middleware for these concerns. Django REST Framework includes throttling features, but they are not enabled by default. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• 5 Architecture Patterns Every Web Application Developer Should Understand

  Nearly every server-side web framework uses some version of MVC. Django calls it MTV (Model-Template-View), Rails follows classic MVC, and Express.js gives you the building blocks to implement your own version. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

  I work on the D2 project ([0]) and we switched from other Javascript runners (v8go) to Goja. Using a JS runtime with a dependency on cgo means your Go program loses the (huge) benefit of cross-compiling to different architectures, since at build time it gets linked to the architecture-specific libc. If you're interested in some production code with Goja, this is our code for calling RoughJS [1] from Go in order to... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Concrete Diagramming, a Lightweight Alternative to C4

  Right. It's okay to leave written documentation on SaaS (e.g. Notion), because the text is the artifact. If they're shutting down, or I don't like them anymore, I just move the text. But if Ilograph goes down, all I have is useless YAML.
