Hacker News·4yThings You Should Know About Databases
Indexes are a data structure that helps decrease the look-up time of requested data. Indexes achieve this with the additional costs of storage, memory, and keeping it up to date. The main difference between a solid-state drive (SSD) and hard disk drive (HDD) is how data is stored and accessed.

Hashnode·4yNode.js ORMs overview and comparison
ORM is a library to access the database, high-level library where you can define models, relations. Ideal ORM allows to define queries and then combine and reuse them to construct more complex queries. I'll share my experience of working with 6 popular ORMs including knex which is query builder.
ContainIQ·4yWhat is gRPC (Google Remote Procedure Call)? Ultimate Guide
Google Remote Procedure Call ( gRPC) allows you to directly call methods on other machines. Netflix, Spotify, and Docker have already transitioned to it, but does it make sense for others to go down the same path? If you’re considering using it to build services, it’s one of several potential options.
LogRocket·4yComparing four popular NestJS ORMs
Object-relational mapping (ORM) is a technique that abstracts your database tables to data objects in memory. ORMs are used to make database access easier, as developers won’t need to write raw queries. For convenience, NestJS provides tight integrations with TypeORM and Sequelize out of the box.
gitconnected·4yWhy I quit Android Development after 10 years and what I plan to do now
After 10 years of working in Android Development, I’ve decided to leave the industry for good. I worked on complex applications with heavy E2E encryption, communication with sensors, NFC chips, BLE beacons, high traffic chat applications and not to forget apps such as the legendary todo list apps. In the last 4–5 years I was able to work on the backend side of my customers projects (upon request). I spent a lot of time to understand the ins and outs of backend development, writing concurrent code, creating a distributed system, scaling vertically and horizontally.
Helios·4yAutomating Backend Testing in Microservices: Challenges and Solutions
The transition to distributed environments has created complexity, overhead, and friction when writing and running new backend tests. These tests require a lot of preparation, infrastructure building, and maintenance since many services communicate asynchronously. In this blog, I show that by running trace-based automated tests, developers can validate their data through robust tests with almost zero effort.
Dev Genius·4yDatabase Sharding 101
This blog is part of the series where we discuss 101 concepts from Ground Zero for an audience that has limited starting knowledge. This article comes in the Intermediate-Level Series since it involves understanding the of Database Sharding. Sharding is primarily used for distributing data in a single node across multiple partitioned nodes for better scalability and performance.
Ubuntu·4ySQL vs NoSQL: Choosing your database
There are scores of open source and proprietary databases available. Each offers distinct value to organisations. They can be divided into two primary categories: SQL (relational database) and NoSQL (non-relational) This article will explore the difference between the two and which is best for your use case.
Codemotion·4yGolden Rules for Combining Front-end Security and UI
When building web applications, security is a key part of the development process. Validation allows the app to determine if the inputs typed by the user and the operations they are performing are correct. This article looks at how to enforce front-end validation, improving the user experience through five simple, but powerful, rules.
