Chess.com started in 2007 and grew steadily in the years following. The platform exploded in popularity during the pandemic, to the point that their servers struggled with the traffic. It was a great problem to have. Chess.com was instrumental in helping to elevate chess to its current height of mainstream popularity. But how did Chess.com The post Building Chess.com with Jay Severson https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2024/02/01/building-chess-com-with-jay-severson/ appeared first on Software Engineering Daily https://softwareengineeringdaily.com.
Mastodon is an open source, decentralized social network. Eugen Rochko started building Mastodon in response to his dissatisfaction with centralized social networks like Facebook and Twitter. In the Mastodon model, users can run their own nodes, and other users can connect to them. You can follow users whose accounts reside in other nodes.

If you’re a developer, you’ve probably worked with an API, or application programming interface. An API is a set of rules for how to communicate with an applications or device. For example, when you build an app and want to use Stripe to handle payments, or use Slack to deliver notifications, it’s APIs that make The post Postman and the Growth of APIs with Joyce Lin https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2023/10/17/postman-and-the-growth-of-apis/ appeared first on Software Engineering Daily https://softwareengineeringdaily.com.
There are hundreds of observability companies out there, and many ways to think about observability, such as application performance monitoring, server monitoring, and tracing. In a production application, multiple tools are often needed to get proper visibility on the application. This creates some challenges.

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol, or HTTP, is used to load webpages using hypertext links, and it’s the foundation of the web. Tim Berners-Lee famously created HTTP version 0.9 in 1989, and defined the essential behavior of a client and a server. Version 1.0 was eventually finalized in 1996, and its secure variant called HTTPS is The post The Future of HTTP with Nick Shadrin and Roman Arutyunyan https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2023/10/11/the-future-of-http/ appeared first on Software Engineering Daily https://softwareengineeringdaily.com.
