Every web application you've ever used has two sides: what you see (the frontend) and what powers it (the backend). The backend is responsible for business logic, data storage, authentication, third-party integrations, and everything else that happens behind the scenes. A backend stack is the collection of technologies — languages, frameworks, databases, and infrastructure tools — that work together to make all of that possible. In 2026, the backend landscape is broader than ever. New framewo... Read more ›
When deploying a new VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.1 Fleet, users specify either a Simple or High Availability (HA) deployment model along with the desired deployment size: Small, Medium or Large. Unlike components such as NSX Manager, VCF Operations and VCF Automation, where deployment size and availability are configured independently, VCF Management Services (VCFMS) determines […] Read more ›

Executive Summary: To eliminate race conditions in a high-concurrency ticketing system, I implemented PostgreSQL's FOR UPDATE clause for row-level database locking alongside Go worker channels for in-memory queue serialization. This approach completely prevents inventory over-selling by guaranteeing singular data mutation execution even under flash-sale load. If you have ever built an application that handles live event ticketing, flash sales, or limited-inventory drops, you know the dread of... Read more ›

Linear probing is one of the simplest and most space-efficient approaches to hash table design, and is widely used in sequential settings due to its compact memory layout. However, designing a concurrent linear-probing hash table with strong liveness guarantees has proved difficult, and only a handful of such algorithms have been proposed, all of which either restrict concurrency or rely on large per-entry metadata, thereby compromising space ef...

In a previous post, I explained how to generate the OpenAPI document during the ASP.NET Core build and commit it to the repository. That gives you a versioned API contract that is easy to review in pull requests. In this post, let's go one step further: use that generated OpenAPI file as the input for Kiota, so your typed .NET client is also generated during build. The goal is simple: The server produces… Read more ›
Every time a new Java release drops, the question surfaces again in Slack channels and pull-request threads alike: “Are we still on G1? Should we switch to ZGC?” With Java 26 landing in March 2026, that conversation got a meaningful update. Two JEPs directly touched garbage collection — one gave G1 a solid throughput boost and the other … Read more ›
Existing encrypted search and private set intersection (PSI) protocols struggle to reconcile post-quantum security with practical efficiency, often leaking search and access patterns or requiring prohibitively deep fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) circuits. We address these limitations by introducing a new Homomorphic Bloom Filters (HBF) framework, a quantum-resilient framework that embeds length-$m$ Bloom filters directly into the plaintext space of an RLWE-based FHE scheme, enabling shall...

Securing web endpoints and service-to-service communication is notoriously complex. You often find yourself wrapping services with complex setups like oauth2-proxy, writing custom token exchangers, or writing redundant authentication logic across different service repositories. To solve this, I built EAP—a lightweight, zero-config authentication proxy designed to handle modern, multi-cloud enterprise authentication out of the box. With EAP, you can secure any backend service without writing a... Read more ›
At PGDay France (2018 or 2019, I honestly can’t remember which one), I shared my method for evaluating a Postgres extension: read the source code, and ask yourself whether you understand it well enough to fix a small bug. Someone in the audience replied: “That’s only valid for Lætitia Avrot.” I’ve been thinking about that comment ever since. It’s not magic. It’s not some rare gift. It’s a method. Read. Understand.

I’ve been studying the way API providers publish their public MCP servers, beginning with the big three: Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. Each of these providers have their own approach to delivering APIs, but also delivering MCP, and from my vantage point it is the same old API design conversation—it just depends on where companies want to shift the load and where they have experience.
