The Backend Engineering Show with Hussein Nasser

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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/

Understand Fundamentals not Tools (e.g. WebSockets vs Socket.io, Javascript vs React, Python vs Django)

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?

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)
