Why Microsoft Azure Well-Architected Framework Can Improve Architecture

Small and medium-sized businesses often face a common challenge: the absence of experienced cloud engineers. Due to limited resources, teams typically choose the quickest path—getting things done in the easiest, fastest way. Unfortunately, this approach often leads to solutions that aren't secure, cost too much, and become nearly impossible to extend or manage effectively. Recognizing this critical challenge, Microsoft Azure has developed the Well-Architected Framework. This comprehensive set of guidelines and best practices helps businesses assess their existing solutions and guides them toward building robust, secure, cost-effective, and manageable cloud infrastructures from the start. The Azure Well-Architected Framework is structured around five essential pillars: Cost Optimization : Ensuring that cloud resources are used efficiently and effectively, reducing unnecessary expenses. Operational Excellence : Focusing on the ability to run and monitor systems effectively, ensuring ...

"Dushnylo" Series: Monolith First approach.

I keep hearing, “You MUST start with a monolith.” Every new project? Always? When I hear that, two thoughts immediately come to mind: 1️⃣ “It depends.” You can’t just blindly say every project must start as a monolith. 2️⃣ My inner Dushnylo whispers: “Time to make a post about this.” So, here’s my take: I disagree. Not only do I disagree, but I believe the most critical and dangerous part of system design is analyzing and understanding business needs before making architectural decisions. Why? Simple. Imagine you’re building a streaming platform that processes massive amounts of data, handles notifications, and integrates with third-party services. Does this sound like something you’d build as a pure monolith? Of course not. But I do agree on one thing—you have to start somewhere. That starting point could be a simple core application —yes, it might look like a monolith at first. But you’re not designing the entire system as a monolith. ...

"Dushnylo" Series: The Trouble with GET: Real-World REST API Challenges

Have you ever seen a fully implemented, truly and absolutely by-the-books REST API? With all the correct HTTP methods, status codes, and the perfect design? No? Me neither. And you might ask — why not? After all, it's supposed to be easy , right? Well, yes — technically, it is easy. But in real life, you always run into edge cases. Let’s take a simple example. According to REST principles, if you want to retrieve data, you should use the GET method. Simple and elegant, and documented everywhere. But then the question arises: how do you pass parameters in a GET request? Answer: via URL path or query parameters. But as you already know, there’s a limit to how much you can fit into a URL — usually around 2048 characters . That’s fine for small, basic queries. But what about advanced searches ? You want to pass dozens of filters , custom ordering , maybe even a list of IDs to fetch. Sometimes it’s a list of GUIDs — and not just one or two, but hundreds . In these cases, G...
