Language

Programming Languages (Java, Golang, PHP)

• Java: Versatile, object-oriented, enterprise-scale applications.
• Golang (Go): Statically typed, compiled, cloud services, microservices.
• PHP: Server-side scripting, web development, dynamic web pages.

Framework

Service-Oriented Architecture and Microservices

• Docker: Platform for developing, shipping, and running applications in containers.
• ECS (Elastic Container Service): Managed container orchestration service by AWS.
• Lambda: AWS service for running code without provisioning servers.
• SQS (Simple Queue Service): Managed message queuing service by AWS.
• Kinesis: Platform for collecting, processing, and analyzing real-time streaming data.

Technique

Building Reliable, Scalable, and Resilient Systems

• Caching: Storing copies of data to reduce access time.
• Monitoring: Observing system performance and health.
• Tracing: Tracking the flow of requests through a system.
• Eventual Consistency: Consistency model for high availability.
• Queues: Managing and processing tasks asynchronously.
• Load Balancing: Distributing network traffic across servers.
• Circuit Breaking: Preventing cascading failures by detecting and handling failures.

JWT

JSON Web Token (JWT)

A JSON Web Token (JWT) is an open standard (RFC 7519) for securely transmitting information between parties as a JSON object. It is compact, URL-safe, and can be verified and trusted because it is digitally signed. JWTs are commonly used for authentication and information exchange.

Advantages

• Compact: JWTs are small in size and can be easily transmitted via URL, POST parameters, or inside HTTP headers.
• Self-contained: JWTs carry all the necessary information about the user, reducing the need for additional database lookups.
• Scalability: As the information is contained within the token itself, it simplifies horizontal scaling.
• Stateless: Server-side scalability is improved as JWTs are stateless; the server does not need to store session data.
• Security: JWTs are signed using a secret or public/private key pair, ensuring data integrity and authenticity.

Drawbacks

• Size: Although compact, JWTs can become quite large if they carry extensive information, potentially impacting performance.
• Stateless: Being stateless can be a double-edged sword; revoking tokens can be complex without server-side session management.
• Security: If not implemented correctly, JWTs can be vulnerable to attacks such as token theft, replay attacks, and brute force.
• Complexity: Proper implementation and management of JWTs require a thorough understanding of security best practices.
