Guides
Guides are implementation-focused.
The goal is simple: you should be able to take a guide and apply it to a real system without guessing the missing pieces.
What you’ll find here
- Patterns implemented end-to-end (not just theory)
- Code-level details with operational considerations
- Checklists you can use during implementation and review
My guide template
Each guide follows a consistent structure:
- Context & problem
- Constraints
- Approach
- Implementation notes
- Testing strategy
- Operational concerns
- Trade-offs
- Checklist
Start points
If you’re not sure what to read:
- Pick a topic you’re currently implementing (messaging, reliability, authn/authz, observability)
- Use Reference to refresh concepts, then come back here
