• What's an event loop anyways?

  Event loops are a paradigm for processing events different than your typical single-threaded or multi-threaded application. Your request gets broken down into async "events" that are executed in a loop to improve performance and minimize synchronization across threads. It is famously used by Node.js as the backbone of their event processing and also by several other technologies like Redis and Nginx. - Source: dev.to / 19 days ago

• Stop Using Fetch() in React: A Better Way To Call Your Backend

  Node >= 22 or higher installed on their local development machine. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• How to develop an AI agent application

  TypeScript / Node.js: Excellent for building asynchronous backend systems that must stream text data smoothly to thousands of users simultaneously. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• 7 Hidden Security Vulnerabilities in Modern Node.js Applications

  Because Node.js operates on a single-threaded asynchronous runtime, it is inherently vulnerable to processes that hog the CPU for too long. I absolutely cringe whenever I see developers blindly copy-pasting complex regular expressions from StackOverflow without actually testing their performance impact. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• Docker basics: Using mkcert and caddy with docker compose to host web services over HTTPS for local development

  This tutorial walks you through setting up a simple Docker Compose project that serves two Node web servers over HTTPS using Caddy as a reverse proxy. You will learn how to use mkcert to generate wildcard certificates and the minimal configuration needed in the Caddyfile and docker-compose.yml to get it all working. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• Podman Lost to Docker. I Stopped Fighting It.

  The technical case for Podman is real: rootless by default (not opt-in like Docker's 20.10 mode), no dockerd running as root, no $9–15/user/month for Docker Desktop, and Quadlet (5.0, 2025) for native systemd integration. These are genuine architectural wins. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• NH:STA S01E04 systemd

  Systemd is a critical component of most modern Linux distributions. At its core it is an init system, the component that starts up, monitors and manages all the other processes that run as the system boots up. Using a declarative configuration language, services can register themselves to be started when some other system event occurs, such as when multi-user functionality or networking becomes available, or when... - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• Deploying a Simple Go API with Supervisor and Nginx

  You might wonder why we use Supervisor instead of alternatives like Systemd, PM2, or containerized solutions like Docker. Here’s a quick comparison:. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Show HN: Interactive systemd (a better way to work with systemd units)

  Idk, when systemd became the main thing I hated it too. But mostly because it was different and I didn't know how to use it. But then I learned and you know what? I agreed. This took awhile though and I had to see the problems they are solving. Otherwise it looks really bloaty and confusing. Like why have things like nspawn? Why use systemd jobs instead of using cron? Why use systemd-homed instead of useradd? Well... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Strong Performance with EC2, Lambda, and the Momento SDK for Rust

  Here's my take at this point. If you require blazing speed, the Momento SDK for Rust handles topic subscriptions like a champion. It's easy to code with. Easy to set up. And I get an amazing performance. In cases where I need to update a leaderboard, perhaps deal with real-time chats, or work with financial data that needs to be updated as it happens, this would 100% be the way I'd go. There is no substitute... - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago
