  1. Bounded concurrency and worker threads

    Choose between asynchronous I/O and CPU workers, and bound the number of operations competing for resources.

    Start learning

  2. Event-loop delay and profiling

    Distinguish waiting from CPU pressure and collect evidence before changing a running systemโ€™s architecture.

    Start learning

  3. Performance experiments and memory budgets

    Improve measured bottlenecks with bounded data structures and experiments that preserve correctness.

    Start learning

  4. Reliability and graceful shutdown

    Set bounded failure policies and stop a service while accounting for accepted work and owned resources.

    Start learning

  5. Security boundaries and dependency hygiene

    Constrain untrusted input, minimize process privileges, and treat dependency changes as executable changes.

  6. Deployment and observability

    Release a repeatable artifact, expose meaningful health signals, and connect logs to request context without leaking sensitive data.
