load-balancing

Distribute traffic across instances for scale and reliability — L4 vs L7, algorithms (round-robin, weighted, least-connections, consistent-hash), active/passive health checks, sticky sessions, connection draining, and TLS termination, with runnable nginx/haproxy examples.

Overview

A load balancer is the front door to a horizontally-scaled system: it spreads requests across a pool of backends so no single instance becomes a bottleneck or a single point of failure. Done well it is invisible — capacity scales linearly, deploys are zero-downtime, and a dead backend is shed before users notice. Done badly it concentrates load on a hot node, pins every user to one box, or routes

Your own Claude Code — no API keys
api-paginationImplement correct, fast API pagination — cursor vs offset trade-offs, opaque cursor encoding, stable sort keys, page-size limits, total-count costs, and consumer-side iteration that survives inserts, deletes, and retries. With runnable cursor checks.app-store-optimizationHow to optimize an app-store listing (ASO) for discovery and conversion — title, subtitle, keywords, screenshots, icon, ratings, and the metadata that drives installs. A deep reference with worked Apple and Google listings and a runnable listing linter.audit-loggingDesign tamper-evident audit logs that satisfy security and compliance — what to record (who/what/when/where/outcome), what to never log (secrets/PII), structured immutable events, hash-chaining for tamper-evidence, retention, and access control. A deep reference with runnable validation.background-jobsDesign background job systems that don't lose or double work — enqueue-after-commit, retry policies with jitter, idempotent handlers, visibility timeouts, priority lanes, scheduled and recurring jobs, worker scaling, and observability for async work. With a runnable retry-policy check.backup-and-recoveryDesign and operate a tested backup and disaster-recovery strategy — the 3-2-1 rule, RPO/RTO targets, full vs incremental vs differential, point-in-time recovery, encryption, offsite/immutable copies, retention, and the restore drills that prove a backup actually works.c4-diagrammingDocument software architecture with the C4 model (Context, Container, Component, Code) as text-based diagrams in version control. Covers the four abstraction levels, notation discipline, when to draw each level (and when to stop), supplementary diagrams, and Mermaid/Structurizr tooling.
