Most teams already write something down before coding — a requirements doc, a design doc. The problem isn't that this doc doesn't exist. It's that once coding starts, the doc stops being maintained, the code quietly becomes the real source of truth, and nobody goes back to update the doc to match. Spec-driven design keeps the spec live: it stays the source of truth the whole way through, and code, tests, and docs get built and re-checked against it — not just once at the start.
From Containers to Cloud-Native: The Evolution of Application Architecture
For years, containerisation has been the cornerstone of modern application deployment. Tools like Docker revolutionised how we build, ship, and run applications by packaging code and dependencies into a single, portable unit. This approach solved the classic "it works on my machine" problem and streamlined CI/CD pipelines. However, as the cloud ecosystem has matured, a new paradigm has emerged: cloud-native, event-driven architecture. While containers remain powerful, understanding when to embrace server-less functions, like AWS Lambda, is key to building truly efficient and scalable systems.
Is Golang Object-Oriented?
If you are a developer coming from a background in Java or C#, picking up Go (often referred to as Golang) can feel like stepping onto a different planet. You look for your classes, your inheritance hierarchies, and your method overrides, only to find... nothing.
