Distributed Systems 101

Distributed systems are all around us: Facebook, Uber, Revolut — even the Google search engine is one of them. One search in Google can trigger tens (or hundreds) of calls to different microservices owned by Google. What is more, they are the core of what we work with: multiple services working together, or maybe a […]

Docs That Write Themselves: Scaling With gRPC and Protobuf

In this article, we’ll explore how gRPC and code generation can help you: Write documentation that people actually read and use, Standardize communication between microservices, Avoid code duplication across services. Nowadays, many developers are already familiar with gRPC. It’s no longer surprising that service-related teams prefer it for inter-service communication and even for documentation purposes.

Zero Trust Isn’t Just for Networks: Applying Zero-Trust Principles to CI/CD Pipelines

Zero trust has emerged as a cornerstone of modern enterprise security. It is mainly applied to networks, user identities, and endpoints of most organizations. However, the single layer left undersecured is the CI/CD pipeline. These systems orchestrate code validation for production deployment and do so with persistent credentials and system privileges. This contradiction is fundamentally […]
