Article 1Dense LLM Architecture: How Every Parameter Works on Every TokenTLDR: In a dense LLM every single parameter is active for every token in every forward pass — no routing, no selection. A transformer block runs multi-head self-attention (Q, K, V) followed by a feed-24 min
Article 2Medallion Architecture: Bronze, Silver, and Gold Layers in PracticeTLDR: Medallion Architecture solves the "data swamp" problem by organizing a data lake into three progressively refined zones — Bronze (raw, immutable), Silver (cleaned, conformed), Gold (aggregated, 23 min
Article 3Kappa Architecture: Streaming-First Data PipelinesTLDR: Kappa architecture replaces Lambda's batch + speed dual codebases with a single streaming pipeline backed by a replayable Kafka log. Reprocessing becomes replaying from offset 0. One codebase, n21 min
Article 4Microservices Architecture: Decomposition, Communication, and Trade-offsTLDR: Microservices let teams deploy and scale services independently — but every service boundary you draw costs you a network hop, a consistency challenge, and an operational burden. The architectur22 minArticle 5Serverless Architecture Pattern: Event-Driven Scale with Operational GuardrailsTLDR: Serverless is strongest for spiky asynchronous workloads when cold-start, observability, and state boundaries are intentionally designed.
TLDR: Serverless works best for spiky, event-driven wo13 minArticle 6Modernization Architecture Patterns: Strangler Fig, Anti-Corruption Layers, and Modular MonolithsTLDR: Large-scale modernization usually fails when teams try to replace an entire legacy platform in one synchronized rewrite. The safer approach is to create seams, translate old contracts into stabl13 minPage 1 of 14
