In this video I have a conversation with you on how we one break it into backend engineering answer most of your questions, what should you write in a CV, what recruiters expect for backend engineers etc..   Question: Hey Hussein, I hope you are doing well, Are there any tips or tricks I can do to make it easier to break into the industry as a back-end developer? i mean what are recruiters looking for in a CV? i would be glad if you made a video about that. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hnasr/support

In this video I discuss multicast DNS. Wikipedia defines multicast dns In computer networking, the multicast DNS (mDNS) protocol resolves hostnames to IP addresses within small networks that do not include a local name server.    0:00 Intro 0:30 DNS Explained in LAN 4:00 Multicast DNS --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hnasr/support

In this video, I explain the different cases where we overengineer software especially in two pieces, software code, and system design and architecture.  Chapters 0:00 Intro 1:45 OverEngineering in Software Development 7:15 OverEngineering System Design --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hnasr/support

We know ISP can block you from going to YouTube all together but can they block you from watching a single youtube video? I discuss that in this video  Stay Awesome, Hussein --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hnasr/support

In this video I explain what happened to services such as stripe & roku which failed to establish TLS sessions because the ROOT certificate AddTrust External CA Root has expired. This is a bug in openSSL and other software the perform this kind of validation.   I explain what happened in details..   Resources https://twitter.com/sleevi_/status/1266647545675210753 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4158 https://ohdear.app/blog/resolving-the-addtrust-external-ca-root-certificate-expiration --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hnasr/support

Sharing a Single TCP Connection whether this is HTTP, WebSockets or just RAW TCP protocol between multi-threading or multi-processes application is bound to cause bad undesirable effects. I explain this in this video and give example of how QUIC & HTTP/2 have solved this problem.   Pooling 5:00 QUICK Database 6:30 HTTP/2 Playlist 7:00 --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hnasr/support

in this video I explain how database systems store their data on Disk both f from SSD (solid-state drives) and HDD (HarD disk drive).   There are many factors that go into that discussion so I tried to cover the high level here.   Reseources https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/210492-extremetech-explains-how-do-ssds-work https://www.percona.com/blog/2019/12/18/give-love-to-your-ssds-reduce-innodb_io_capacity_max/ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hnasr/support

In this video I discuss all about software documentation.Good doc from bad doc and how to differentiate and is documentation the only source of learning about a particular tech? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hnasr/support

In this podcast I discuss 7 Tips To Optimize Your Backend API (Without Caching)  1) The serialization representation (XML/JSON, pbf) 0:40 2) Preheating connections 3) H1 vs H2 4)TCP meltdown (big distance) 5) Proxies 6) large payload (select * ) 7) Client side processing (transfomring the work) --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hnasr/support

In this video, I would like to discuss 10 performance tweaks and tips that you can apply to your frontend application to improve its performance and efficiency. These tips are applicable to any programming language on Web, mobile, or desktop application.  Chapters 0:00 Intro 0:40 Optimistic queries 1:57 Paging 3:00 Lazy Loading 4:00 Request what you Need 6:53 Connection State 10:00 LRU Cache 11:10 Group Notifications 12:30 Avoid Expensive Queries Even At Expense of Bad UX 14:00 Design your UX So you Minimize Requests --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hnasr/support

Metroexpress lane is implementing a Machine Learning Occupancy Detection System which I found interesting. In this video I discuss machine learning, supervised learning, labeling and much more. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hnasr/support

In this video I explain the multi-tenancy architecture. The basic idea is to have a single instance of your application to serve multiple tenants or customers and the properties are this. This is as opposed to isolated or dedicated infrastructure. Shared Instance One database hosting multiple customers Isolation at the application level Can be multi-processes and multi-instances as long as they are pooled Stateless Tags Multitenancy, software Multitenancy, Multitenancy explained, Multitenancy architecture https://www.zdnet.com/article/defining-the-true-meaning-of-cloud/ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hnasr/support

Algorithms & Data Structures are critical to Backend Engineering however it really depends on what kind of application and infrastructure you are building. In this video I want to go through the following   1 Backend Engineers are two types - Integrating Existing Backend  - Core Backend  Example Building a CRUD API? Online Cinema system, URL shortener, You will pick up a database and write your logic Building a social network?  * are you gonna be integrator use a ready made graph database?  * Are you gonna use a off the shelf database and write your logic in the application? * Are you gonna build your own graph database platform?  * Any of these scenarios you will run into problems slow performance and you need to understand why  Building a monitoring system? are you gonna integrate an existing database ? or build your own?     2. Be Pragmatic  (Algorithms are not always the solution)   * Most performance issues are not algorithm p

In this video I want to talk about my preferred method of learning backend engineering technologies, I prefer podcasts and youtube videos some people prefer books.

In this video I discuss why QUIC will make a great communication protocol for databases and how it solves a critical problem with stateless web applications. Web applications uses database connection pooling to establish database connections on the backend. But that creates other sorts of problems.
