Qvault’s web app that hosts all of my coding courses is a single-page application written in Vue 2, with plans to migrate to Vue 3 soon™©®. In the meantime, I happened across a cool new tooling app called Vite that promised a few things that caught my attention. Nearly instant development server startup time Hot …
If you’ve already read my previous post, you know that the amqp package is awesome and you can get up and running with just 40-50 lines of simple code. Unfortunately, the bare-bones amqp library doesn’t handle a lot of the stuff you probably wish it did, things like reconnecting logic, the spawning of threads, queue …
Where I work, we use a repo-per-namespace setup and so it often happens that I want to restart all pods and deployments in a single Kubernetes namespace. Maybe I want to see the startup logs, maybe I want to shut down production for a few seconds, don’t question my motives. Anyway, what matters is that …
With #HacktoberFest being a thing, there has been an influx of devs desperately trying to contribute to their favorite Open-Source projects.

The pika package for dealing with RabbitMQ in Python however is only single-threaded out of the box. If we want to make a network or database call before each acknowledgment our subscribers can get really slow. Waiting on …
RabbitMQ is a great message broker with awesome Golang support. It’s a great pub-sub system, and pub-sub has become a staple communication architecture in micro-services. At my current day job, we use RabbitMQ to push hundreds of millions of social media posts through our Go services daily. In this post, we’re going to go over …
time.Time is the perfect choice for handling times in Go in most cases, it even comes in the standard library! The problem is that the time.Time{} struct uses more than 24 bytes of memory under most conditions. Go-TinyTime solves this problem by restricting the available dates to the range between 1970 – 2106, and only …
time.Time makes dealing with dates and times in Go a breeze, and it even comes bundled in the standard library! However, a time.Time{} struct uses more than 24 bytes of memory under most conditions, and I’ve run into situations where I need to store millions of them in memory, but all I really needed was …
