Building an Idempotent Payment System with Spring Boot & React
Payment systems are at the core of modern web applications, but they come with a tricky problem: duplicate transactions. Whether it’s a user accidentally clicking “Pay” twice or a network retry causing multiple API calls, duplicate charges can quickly erode trust and create operational headaches. In this blog, I’ll walk you through a full-stack idempotency … Continue reading Building an Idempotent Payment System with Spring Boot & React
Introduction to Data Structures & Algorithms
In the world of software development, Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) form the backbone of efficient programming. Whether you’re building a small utility script or designing a high-scale application like a search engine, understanding DSA helps you write code that is not only correct but also fast, memory-efficient, and scalable. Why DSA Matters Performance Optimization … Continue reading Introduction to Data Structures & Algorithms
Build an MCP server and Integrate it with Claude Desktop

If you want to empower AI with real-world data—like live weather updates—building a custom MCP server is a great project. Here’s a step-by-step guide on setting up a simple weather server using MCP and connecting it with Claude … Continue reading Build an MCP server and Integrate it with Claude Desktop
Edera’s Am-I-Isolated Tool: Fortifying Container Security
In the fast-evolving landscape of cloud-native technologies, securing containerized workloads is a top priority. Kubernetes and containers power modern applications, but their shared kernel architecture introduces risks like privilege escalation and container breakouts. Edera’s Am-I-Isolated tool, an open-source security scanner, steps in to address these challenges by evaluating container isolation and offering practical fixes. Written … Continue reading Edera’s Am-I-Isolated Tool: Fortifying Container Security
Set up Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) in Vault
Providing efficient and customized access management for sensitive information is critical to upholding robust security and protecting a company’s confidential data. With HashiCorp Vault’s roles and policies, you can implement that control reliably and with assurance. Prerequisites: You require a running vault cluster for this activity. Refer to the official link https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/docs/platform/k8s/helm/run for a refresher … Continue reading Set up Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) in Vault
Set Up Mutual TLS (mTLS) with Vault’s PKI Secrets Engine
Mutual TLS (mTLS) is a security mechanism that requires both the client and the server to verify each other's identities using digital certificates. In contrast to one-way TLS, where only the server’s identity is validated, mTLS adds an extra layer of security by ensuring mutual authentication. Vault's PKI secrets engine streamlines the management of these … Continue reading Set Up Mutual TLS (mTLS) with Vault’s PKI Secrets Engine
Boosting Efficiency in Microservices with Bazel – Part 1
Modern software development often relies on large-scale microservices architectures. However, ensuring efficiency and consistency in building and testing these systems can be challenging. Key issues include: Slow Build Times: Building large-scale applications with multiple dependencies often leads to extended build durations, negatively impacting developer productivity. Inconsistent Build Environments: Variations in developer environments and CI/CD pipelines … Continue reading Boosting Efficiency in Microservices with Bazel – Part 1
