The Real Rust Tax: 114MB vs 18.6MB Container Reality Check

I benchmarked Rust (Axum) and C++ (Drogon) for cloud REST APIs with PostgreSQL JSONB workloads. Performance is nearly identical (3-5% difference), but operational costs differ wildly. π—žπ—²π˜† π—³π—Άπ—»π—±π—Άπ—»π—΄π˜€: - Throughput: 38-42K req/s (Rust) vs 39-40K req/s (C++) β€” statistically equivalent - Conta

Why HTMX + Go is Killing the Single Page Application (SPA) πŸ’€ (Goodbye React?)

Most apps do not need a heavy Single-page application(SPA). HTMX + Go cuts bundle weight, removes hydration debt, and ships as a single binary. This video breaks down the real tradeoffs, shows the server-side pattern, and explains when SPAs still win.

I built the same microservice in Rust, Go, and ASP.NET. One of them used 357 MB at idle.

I built the same microservice in Rust (Axum), Go (Fiber), and ASP.NET (Minimal API) Github : https://github.com/prod-garbage-destroyer/rust-go-dotnet-microservice-2026/tree/v1 - identical endpoints, identical PostgreSQL backend, identical connection pool config β€” and benchmarked them with wrk at 50

Go Wins the Cold Start, Loses to the Database Driver

Cold start is a tie at ~500ms. But Go uses 7.6x less memory and 6x smaller images. The hidden cost? The database driver. Here's the full breakdown. Checkout the Benchmark Repository on Github/prod-garbage-destroyer/cold-start-tax-experiment

Quarkus vs Spring Boot: Which Java Framework Actually Ships Faster? (2026 Deep Dive)

Spring Boot is the industry titan. Quarkus is the cloud-native speed demon. In this 6-minute deep dive, we put the frameworks to the trial across performance, developer experience, and deployment reality. In 2026, "it works" is no longer enough. We analyze why the Build-Time-First philosophy of Qua

Kafka is Not the Answer to Everything

Most developers treat brokers like PokΓ©monβ€”collecting them without understanding their powers. Today, we’re ending the confusion between Kafka, RabbitMQ, and MQTT. In this architectural deep-dive, we explore: - The "Kafka-first" fallacy and why over-engineering kills productivity. - MQTT: QoS levels

Why I Ditched Next.js for Bun + HTMX

Next.js ships 2MB of JS to hydrate a static page. Bun + HTMX does it in 2ms with zero client JavaScript. This is why. Drop your stack in the comments πŸ‘‡ #Shorts #WebDev #JavaScript
