    Architecting large-scale Next.js applications: Server Components, caching and state

    How to structure a Next.js App Router codebase that stays fast as it grows — where the client boundary belongs, what Server Components actually cost, which caching layer answers which question, and the state patterns that survive a hundred routes.

    Building a production RAG pipeline: the latency, cost and accuracy trade-offs

    Every decision in a retrieval pipeline trades one of three things against the other two. Here is where each trade sits — chunking, hybrid retrieval, reranking, caching — and how to tell which one your system is actually losing.

    Why we build modular monoliths first, and when we actually split
