Build a Slack bot using AWS Bedrock and MCP to answer GitHub questions. Learn setup, architecture, and how to extend it with new tools and data sources.
Building a Slack bot with traditional APIs led to 400 lines of code. Using MCP and AWS Bedrock reduced complexity, enabling scalable, tool-driven automation.
Many MVPs get too big because teams treat several user-facing systems and vendor-dependent workflows as one app instead of planning one complete path first.
Achieve zero-downtime deployments for Java applications on Kubernetes using rolling updates, readiness/liveness probes, and graceful shutdown strategies.
Define API, event, and DB contracts upfront to enable parallel development, catch breaking changes in CI, and maintain consistent, reliable integrations.
Learn how to build an ETL pipeline with human-in-the-loop approval that costs nothing while waiting — and see real cost data from processing 1,000 documents.
Design a stateless JWT auth service with Spring Boot 3, Redis caching, and Sentinel for high availability, faster token validation, and reduced DB load.
Feature flags help teams move fast, but when they’re not cleaned up, they quietly add extra code, slow down performance, and make applications harder to maintain.
Docker Hardened Images solve the CVE problem. But CVEs aren't why containers fail in production — governance gaps are. Here's the trust architecture that closes them.
Setting up a data catalog isn’t just a tool problem. My work with Azure Purview and Collibra showed success depends on governance, metadata, and adoption.
Unbounded retries and autoscaling can turn minor latency into cascading outages. API reliability must be bounded and load-aware to prevent retry storms.
