Insights and perspectives on solution and software architecture
A passkey registered on bank.com will not activate on bank-secure-login.com. The cryptography enforces the boundary without asking the user to spot the fake. This post covers why traditional MFA keeps failing, what the 2025 adoption numbers actually say, and how to run a working passkey demo on your own machine in 20 minutes.
Most requirements failures come from documents everyone signed off on but nobody could actually build from. This article walks through eight things your requirements are probably missing, from atomic statements and testable criteria to stakeholder concerns and acceptance conditions.
Coding agents that can delete your work, mine cryptocurrency, and exfiltrate data are not hypothetical. This post covers how sandboxed execution works, which isolation technologies to choose for your threat model, and how to build a working Docker-based sandbox from scratch.
Most teams consult specifications when things break. Spec-driven development turns that around, making the spec the source of truth before a single line of code is written. This post covers the four pillars of SDD, a step-by-step Claude Code walkthrough using FHIR validation, the current tooling landscape, and an honest look at where the practice still falls short.
DORA metrics give architects objective feedback on whether their decisions are helping or hurting. Learn how to use all five metrics, including the 2025 addition of Rework Rate, to measure delivery performance, identify bottlenecks, and make the case for architectural change with data.
Fastify delivers 2x the throughput of Express with lower P99 latency, schema-based validation, first-class TypeScript support, and a plugin system built for encapsulation. Here is what makes it worth the switch and how to migrate without a full rewrite.
Stop treating compliance as a quarterly fire drill. By embedding automated policy checks, SBOM generation, and evidence collection directly into your CI/CD pipeline, you can stay continuously audit-ready, catch violations before they ship, and spend less time reconstructing history at 3 AM.
