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 ›

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — pgEdge, the leading open source enterprise Postgres company, has announced pgEdge ColdFront, a transparent data tiering solution for PostgreSQL. Unlike other alternatives, ColdFront’s cold tier is fully writable: UPDATE and DELETE work on archived rows through the same SQL the application already uses, with no code changes and no rehydration required. Older … The post appeared first on . Read more ›
Most of us never learned Event Sourcing as a way of thinking. We learned it as a collection of parts. An event store goes here. A read model goes there. When things turn asynchronous, you reach for a saga, and when reads and writes start pulling in different directions, you reach for CQRS. We assemble the pieces the way the tutorials drew them, and for a good while the system holds together. Read more ›

Wolverine 6.13 dropped yesterday with quite a few refinements to our existing integration with Kafka in Wolverine. We had, of course, probably fallen into the trap of just trying to make Kafka behave like a Rabbit MQ analogue. It was already on my radar to get enable more idiomatic Kafka capabilities, and a community request … Continue reading Kafka Support Improvements in Wolverine 6.13 → Read more ›

Modern, deployed key transparency systems rely on auditors to ensure that updates to the set of keys are well-structured, allowing clients to efficiently monitor their own keys. In practice, the server's consistency proofs are very large, requiring computationally powerful auditors; as a result, real-world deployments have very few auditors. We propose a new key transparency system based on a new data structure called Forget-me-not trees, which is a careful composition of Merkle trees and Blo... Read more ›
