On any JS project my preference is to always use TypeScript, as it greatly increases my productivity (intellisense, autocompletion) while eliminating 90% of the bugs right there, at design time.
Over time I’ve gathered some useful snippets and patterns, out of which I’d like to share a couple I use most with you.
Hope you find these […]
Recently I’ve decided to switch to using React in a client’s SPA project currently developed in Angular 8. The way to go about such transitions is to build a bridge between the frameworks (i.e. React-Angular), use React in all new developments and gradually migrate old components to React, until the entire application is written in […]

This is a true dummy’s guide: if you follow these clear instructions carefully you will be debugging within 5-10 minutes.
Hopefully this post will come […]
Recently I’ve heard from several fullstack dev colleagues that although Smart contracts and DAPPs (Distributed Apps) sound real exciting they are clueless on how to get started.
This actually surprised me as developers with good FED (Front End Development) skills actually have an advantageous starting point, so I decided to write this short post as a short […]
As Node.js gains continuous traction offering parallel and in many times superior qualities compared to traditional technologies, the question of optimizing our app/service becomes one of increased importance. Whether we’re building a monolith server or a microservices oriented solution, we’d like to squeeze more juice out of the underlying CPU/VM by running optimized code.
Putting aside […]
Spark Streaming allows us to process large amounts of live data from multiple sources, in a scalable and fault tolerant manner. It is used widely to process for example live Twitter feeds, consume and process Kafka topic messages or data from Amazon S3, simple TCP sockets or custom input streams/feeds.
In many cases, we are perfectly […]
