Community Picks·4yNetflix System Design- Backend Architecture
Netflix accounts for about 15% of the world's internet bandwidth traffic. Netflix operates in two clouds Amazon Web Services and Open Connect (Netflix content delivery network) The overall Netflix system consists of three main parts. Zuul as its API gateway is built to allow dynamic routing, traffic monitoring, and security, resilience to The Netty handlers on the front and back of the filters.
Hashnode·4ySystem Design: The complete course
System design is one of the earliest decisions we can make when building a system. System design meets the needs of your business or organization through coherent and efficient systems. The OSI Model can be seen as a universal language for computer networking. It's based on the concept of splitting up a communication system into seven abstract layers, each one stacked upon the last.
DEV·4ySystem Design: Netflix
Netflix is a subscription-based streaming service that allows its members to watch TV shows and movies on an internet-connected device. The system should meet the following requirements: Users should be able to stream and share videos. This API will allow our users to post a comment on a video (like YouTube) The tweet service will handle video streaming-related functionality. It will be discussed in detail separately.
Medium·4yHow we reduced our annual server costs by 80% — from $1M to $200k — by moving away from AWS
Prerender saved $800k by removing their reliance on AWS and building in-house infrastructure Combined with AWS, we had already cut our expenses by 22%. The testing phase was crucial to make sure the following processes would run smoothly. After testing whether Prerender pages could be cached in both S3 and minio, we slowly diverted traffic away from AWS S 3 and towards minio.
Community Picks·4yCreate a CI/CD Pipeline with GitHub Actions and AWS
GitHub Actions are a continuous integration and continuous delivery platform that allows developers to automate builds, testing and deployments through the creation of "workflows" For public repositories, GitHub Actions is completely free! This guide will be scratching the surface of what GitHub Actions can really provide, and I highly suggest checking the documentation out. Adding the.git/workflows folder and YAML File Workflows are stored in a. Git folder in your repository.
Hashnode·4yTerraform Basics
Terraform is an infrastructure management tool developed by HashiCorp. It lets you provision and maintain cloud resources like Servers, Networking, Storage etc. It is a tool/command line program we run to define and make changes to our infrastructure. We can think terraform as Setting up blank canvas, but we still need other tools to Not its not lets understand this.

Netflix has a combined library of over 50,000 titles, supporting over 2200 devices. Netflix uses AWS for nearly all its computing and storage needs, including databases, analytics, recommendation engines, video transcoding, and more.
DEV·4yThe Complete List of Heroku Alternatives to Consider
Heroku will be shutting down its free tier in the coming months. Starting October 26, 2022, we will begin deleting inactive accounts and associated storage for accounts that have been inactive for over a year. Some people are looking for free alternatives to replace their current Heroku arrangement. Some are smaller companies that are just getting started.
AWS Tip·4yBuilding an API using Serverless framework
Serverless is a way to build and run applications & services without having to manage servers. There are 40+ Lambda templates for the most common use cases (e.g. microservice-http-endpoint, dynamodb-process-stream, sns-message, sqs-poller, s3-get-object, etc. You only pay for the time that Lambdas work.
Fly.io·4yIntroducing LiteFS
LiteFS works by interposing a very thin virtual file system between your app and your on-disk database file. The FUSE file system solves many of these usability issues by being a single point that all database calls go through. LiteFS also needs to run an API server to replicate data between nodes. It uses Hashicorp's Consul to determine the primary node in your cluster.
AWS Tip·4ySingle-page Application for only 1$ on AWS — S3 & Cloudfront
The goal of this article is to create a static site that is cheap and efficient. We will use four tools from AWS: S3 where the static website files will be uploaded to We are at the last step for our infrastructure, we must go to the hosted zone created previously and create two new records in this way.
DZone·3yWhat Is Loosely Coupled Architecture?
The primary purpose of a loosely coupled architecture is to create a system that doesn’t fail due to the failure of a single component. Loosely coupled vs. tightly coupled Architecture is an important point to ponder. Microservices is an architectural design that facilitates the development of an application as small and independent services that run their own processes.
Scott Logic·4yCan Web3 beat public cloud?
Web3 sees the internet becoming a network of applications (distributed apps, or dApps), written as smart contracts, running on a public blockchain. At its core it uses blockchain technology, with the promise of being decentralised, permissionless and trustless. We’ll return to these at various points within this blog post.
HEARTBEAT·4yIs there a Data Engineering Roadmap?
Data Engineering is the discipline in the 'Data World' which drives us to design and build things. Data Engineers need to know how to manage, create, and design databases being relational or non-relational, how the data on them can be normalized, and understand the Entity-Relationship model, normalization and scaling patterns.
AWS Tip·4yIntroduction to AWS IAM
AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) enables us to securely manage access to AWS resources. IAM is made up primarily of User, Group, Policy, and Role. This is accomplished by defining the Action (refer IAM Policy) that can be performed on specific resources under specific conditions.
Semaphore·4yA Developer’s Guide to Terraform
Terraform is a platform-agnostic tool that defines infrastructure in human-readable code. Terraform code describes the end state of the infrastructure after creation or change, not the instructions for making the change. The provider turns the declarative code into imperative instructions.
