Practical engineering knowledge, architecture patterns, and solutions to real-world problems.
Supabase apps work on Airtel and office WiFi but fail on JioFiber and Jio mobile data — Failed to Fetch, WebSocket timeouts, broken auth. Diagnosed as ISP-level DNS / routing filtering, with four production-grade fixes.
We analysed 100 WordPress websites — 78% failed Core Web Vitals. A data-backed study of what actually slows WordPress down (page builders, plugins, hosting) and which fixes deliver real ROI.
12 web stacks compared across usage, developer preference, admiration, client demand, and freelance rate — with four original metrics (DPGI, SMS, HRR, Legacy Lock-in) computed from Stack Overflow, State of JS, W3Techs and salary data.
A code-level teardown of 31 AI-generated SaaS prototypes — three proprietary metrics (PSR, TDR, RCM) and a 10-mode failure taxonomy.
Patterns from 23 SaaS codebase audits — opens with one anonymised takeover, then aggregates the rubric findings. TDS, KPC, MTS.
Open with the incident response that started this report. 217 plugins audited across 14 categories with PVR / MFI / RAI scoring.
41% of funded SaaS marketing sites are not reliably indexable. Original metrics RDI, CBE, JSC quantify the gap — and how to close it.
We tracked 217 pages across four content types for a year. Decay curves, half-lives, and the refresh cadence that recovers traffic.
Opens with a deep teardown of one specific AI-prototype-to-production engagement, then aggregates cost and timeline across 20 projects.
Per-pattern cost, isolation, and onboarding eng-hours for the four common multi-tenancy approaches. TIC, AOC, BCM metrics.
90 days, 57 SaaS pages, 10 schema types. FAQ delivered 22% CTR lift; Article delivered noise. Schema-by-schema breakdowns.
Real per-MAU token cost data across 47 production AI SaaS products. CPMU by feature class, model-tier routing, and the unit-economic decision.
Real CPO math for Shopify Plus vs Advanced across $500k-$50M GMV — and the GMV at which the upgrade pays back. 24 audited merchants.
Opens with one specific Magento 2 → Shopify Plus migration end-to-end, then aggregates cost and timeline across 23 replatforms.
Three specific rejection narratives from the App Store and Google Play, plus the aggregate rejection-reason data behind 41 RN submissions.
OTA cost, adoption-after-release curves, and rollback cost across EAS, CodePush, and manual update strategies on 47 production RN apps.
Three founder stories of 2026 MVP builds — fintech, AI SaaS, marketplace — followed by aggregate cost and bandwidth data across 31 engagements.
Anatomy of one deploy, side by side, on four PaaS platforms — timings, traffic-shift mechanics, rollback paths, and the real cost of zero-downtime at 100 RPS.
Three production patterns for custom pricing built on Shopify Functions — Rust source, metafield design, checkout integration, and the gotchas Scripts users hit.
Stage-by-stage architecture for a RAG pipeline running in production — chunk size choices, embedding model tradeoffs, retrieval, reranking, semantic cache, and the cost per 1M queries.
End-to-end push setup for React Native apps on Expo, FCM and APNs — token registration, delivery measurement, and the 12 failure modes we see most often when delivery rates drop.
The five guarantees a production Stripe webhook handler has to give you — verification, idempotency, ordering, replay, observability — with TypeScript code and the SQL schema we ship.
Server Components, Client Components, Streaming SSR, and SSG — what each one does for indexability, TTFB and LCP, with measurements across six pages we migrated.
Replacing the local wp-content/uploads with Cloudflare R2 from a 200-line PHP MU-plugin — no AWS SDK, no Composer — with a custom SigV4 signer and the WP hooks that make it transparent.
How we converted GravityOne — a Lovable-built web app with a working Supabase backend — into native iOS and Android apps in 14 weeks. Code-sharing matrix, App Store rejection patterns, OTA strategy, and the per-phase engineering hours from one full engagement.
