Understanding the Identity Bridge Framework

Modern authentication protocols, such as SAML and OpenID Connect (OIDC), rely heavily upon federation as the guiding principle to secure front-door authentication. Federation is an elegant approach for web-based applications to isolate authentication from the application using a trust established between the centralized identity provider (IDP) and a subscribing application. Armed with asymmetric key-based digital […]

Building Scalable and Efficient Architectures With ECS Serverless and Event-Driven Design

In modern cloud-native application development, scalability, efficiency, and flexibility are paramount. As organizations increasingly migrate their workloads to the cloud, architects are embracing innovative technologies and design patterns to meet the growing demands of their systems. Two such technologies—Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) with serverless computing and event-driven architectures—offer powerful tools for building scalable and […]

Evaluating Performance Gains in MySQL Lock Scheduling Algorithms

Scheduling is crucial in computer system design. The right policy can significantly reduce mean response time without needing faster machines, effectively improving performance for free. Scheduling also optimizes other metrics, such as user fairness and differentiated service levels, ensuring some job classes have lower mean delays than others [1]. MySQL 8.0 uses the Contention-Aware Transaction […]

Optimizing Data Storage With Hybrid Partitioned Tables in Oracle 19c

Effective management of large datasets is paramount for both performance and cost optimization. Oracle 19c introduces Hybrid Partitioned Tables (HPT), a feature that allows you to distribute table partitions across multiple storage tiers — from high-performance on-premises systems to cost-effective cloud-based object storage. This approach enables organizations to store frequently accessed “hot” data locally for […]

Why Rate Limiting Matters in Istio and How to Implement It

In today’s microservices-driven world, managing traffic smartly is just as crucial as deploying the services themselves. As your system grows, so do the risks — like overuse, misuse, and cascading failures. And if you’re running multi-tenant services, it’s essential to enforce request limits for each customer. That’s where rate limiting in a service mesh like […]
