For my Cursor Compile talk I had agents live shard a database and because I built all my slides in code I was able to give the live status of the sharding process in real time while i talked through the content.

Load balancer. Cache. Queue. CDN. Replica. Shard. 🧠 If those sound like a pile of random buzzwords, this one's for you. Here's the secret: nobody sits down and designs a system with 9 components. You start with ONE server, and every new piece gets added because something broke. Here's the whole thing in order 👇 1️⃣ One server can't keep up → add more servers + a load balancer 2️⃣ Every server hammers the same database → add a cache (Redis) 3️⃣ Reads keep growing → add read replicas 4️⃣ One database can't hold it all → shard the data 5️⃣ Photos and videos bloat the database → move them to object storage (S3 / R2) 6️⃣ Users far away wait forever → put a CDN in front 7️⃣ Uploads make users wait on slow jobs → add a queue + background workers 8️⃣ Servers crash, regions disappear → build in redundancy 9️⃣ You can't see what's breaking → add observability (logs, metrics, traces) And the biggest beginner mistake? Adding Kafka, Kubernetes, microservices and 10 databases before you have a real problem. Every component has a cost: • caches go stale • queues deliver twice • replicas lag • shards make queries harder • microservices fail over the network So the real skill isn't memorizing tools. It's asking one question: 👉 "What problem forced us to add this?" Start simple. Find the bottleneck. Add the smallest fix. Repeat. 💾 Save this for your next system design interview 💬 Which of the 9 steps did you learn the hard way? Tell me in the comments 👇 #systemdesign #softwareengineering #backenddevelopment #codinginterview #learntocode

Consistent Hashing Explained Simply Let's break down consistent hashing in a way that's easy to get. It's a handy technique for distributing data evenly across servers. And if you're more of a visual learner, don't miss the attached video which brings this concept to life. Here's how it works: We don't just hash our data keys; we also hash the server names using the same method. This puts everything on a scale, known as the hash space, which we think of as a big circular ring. So, imagine we've got a few servers. We hash them and place them on this ring. We do the same with our data, hashing it by key. To figure out where to store a piece of data, we travel clockwise on the ring from where the data lands until we bump into a server. Like, data key 0 might end up on server 0, and key 1 on server 1. Adding a new server? Only the data near the new server needs to shift. And if a server has to go? Only the data it was holding needs a new spot. But there's a little challenge: sometimes, data doesn't spread out evenly. The fix? Virtual nodes. They're like mini-replicas of a server placed around the ring. The more virtual nodes we have, the better the balance. But there's a catch: more virtual nodes mean more memory usage for tracking them, and it can make the whole system a bit more complex to manage. – Subscribe to our weekly newsletter to get a Free System Design PDF (158 pages):

Shredding the Deep State with DataRepublican | Going Rogue with Lara Logan | Episode 95 Why Tech Nerd DataRepublican is Such a Threat to America’s Enemies Jennica Pounds is the data analyst known on X as DataRepublican. She is a deaf database engineer and mother who rose to prominence after accurately predicting Donald Trump’s 2024 victory through direct voting data analysis, at a time when most polls and experts were wrong. She later assisted DOGE efforts by building a website that enables text searches inside government award descriptions and maps money flows through the NGO industrial complex. Those networks involve figures like George Soros as well as groups tied to USAID and activist funding. In her book 'Unelected' she argues that the real power structure is a self-reinforcing system of “everyone and no one.” Throughout it all, she has navigated doxxing, public scrutiny, and personal cost, drawing strength from her Christian faith and using AI-enhanced tools that have given her a public voice for the first time. 00:00:00 – Who Really Runs the System? 00:00:29 – Introducing Data Republican 00:05:20 – Unelected: Why She Fought the Machine 00:08:00 – Connecting the Dots: Soros, Singham & the Networks 00:10:00 – The Visionary Machine: Reflexivity Explained 00:15:30 – Color Revolutions and the Battle for the Mind 00:17:50 – How the Data Saw What the Experts Missed 00:25:50 – From Elections to DOGE: Building the Search Tool 00:29:00 – The NGO Industrial Complex Exposed 00:36:10 – 400 Years Back: Enlightenment Seeds of the Blob 00:40:00 – Everyone and No One: How the Cycle Sustains Itself 00:48:00 – When Reality Breaks the Dogma 00:53:00 – The Debt Reckoning and the End of the Cycle 00:58:00 – Faith, Family, and Finding a Voice DataRepublican (small r) | Going Rogue with Lara Logan

"As you realized, there was no money lost. And this is by design." Kostas Chalkias (Kostas Kryptos) is co-founder and Chief Cryptographer of Mysten Labs, the team behind Sui. When the network halted, he was in the war room. This is his breakdown of what actually happened. "The ideal option is to halt, compared to just losing money if something else happens." We cover: — Why halting the network was a deliberate design choice, not a failure — What was really going on behind the scenes while crypto Twitter panicked — The global war room: 50+ people across Europe and the US working through the night — Why a decentralized network recovers differently than one company flipping a switch — "Move fast and break things", why the Facebook motto is exactly wrong for money — Why Kostas believes most other blockchains wouldn't have recovered in days — Where the line sits between an honest edge case and a broken system — What the outage proved about how Sui is actually built Thanks to Kostas for coming on New Era Finance Podcast. Highlights: 00:00 — Intro 00:43 — What Happened During The Outage 03:45 — Why Halting Was The Right Call 05:30 — Inside The War Room 08:00 — Why Decentralized Recovery Takes Longer 11:00 — The Lessons That Made Sui Stronger 14:30 — Why AI Agents Are The Real Users Of Crypto 19:00 — Free Stablecoin Payments vs Bank Fees 23:00 — Own And Monetize Your Own Data 27:00 — Why A Fast Layer-1 Changes Everything
