Building resilient mobile apps with NoSQL

Rob Hedgpeth

Murphy’s Laws state “things will go wrong in any given situation, if you give them a chance”. Unfortunately, mobile developers know this all to well when it comes to network reliability. In the face of such instability and increasing customer expectations, how can developers deliver immersive, unint

nginx + Redis = Ludicrous Speed

Jason McCreary

Nearly ever app has an API. The next step is "scale". But what you really mean is speed - Ludicrous Speed. Let's explore a super fast API with native PHP (no frameworks) running atop nginx, and using Redis as our runtime database. We'll take a peak at how underneath this may be a traditional PHP app

Vertical Slice Architecture

Jimmy Bogard

Moving from a layered architecture to a vertical slice architecture can be a bit daunting. We remove abstractions, complex structures, and focus building on the axis of change, then what's next? What new structures, patterns, and policies will need to be introduced in this style of architecture? How
