🚀 Early stage startup - we are focused on interpolating the 20-40 milliseconds of processing time between photons hitting the retina and conscious visual perception. This untapped real estate is the new frontier. We're targeting the marketing and de

As a backend engineer. You should learn: - System Design (scalability, microservices) -APIs (REST, GraphQL, gRPC) -Database Systems (SQL, NoSQL) -Distributed Systems (consistency, replication) -Caching (Redis, Memcached) -Security (OAuth2, JWT

🍔 Backend dev = building a burger! Start with a base: Java, Python, or Node.js Add frameworks: Django, Express, etc. Then layer: 🔸 Git/GitHub 🔸 CI/CD (Jenkins, Azure) 🔸 Docker 🔸 APIs (REST, JSON) 🔸 DBs (MySQL, MongoDB) 🔸 Caching (Redis, CDN)

Hit an unexpected 'rate limit' message while creating Studio Ghibli-style images on ChatGPT? You weren't alone.This is a great example of API traffic management techniques like Rate Limiting and Throttling. ➡️Rate Limiting - Sets a hard cap; reque

In modern app development, new database trends like GraphQL and Redis are transforming data management. 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐐𝐋 is a query language for APIs that allows clients to request specific data, avoiding over-fetching. Advantages include flexible da

OpenAI has begun using Google's tensor processing units (TPUs) to power ChatGPT and other products, marking a significant shift away from its reliance on Nvidia chips and Microsoft's data centers. This strategic move aims to reduce the high costs ass
