Top Architect focuses on sharing practical architecture knowledge, covering enterprise, system, website, large‑scale distributed, and high‑availability architectures, plus architecture adjustments using internet technologies. We welcome idea‑driven, sharing‑oriented architects to exchange and learn together.
This article explains how to design a high‑concurrency ticket‑snatching service that can handle millions of requests by combining multi‑layer load balancing, weighted Nginx round‑robin, in‑memory stock with Redis‑backed global inventory, and Go’s native concurrency, complete with code samples and performance results.
AI can quickly generate functional code, but turning that 80‑point prototype into a reliable, secure, production‑ready product requires human engineers to perform rigorous validation, refactoring, and polishing—roles the author dubs ‘post‑processing engineers’—who bridge AI’s speed with real‑world robustness and profitability.
The article explains why passing tokens between microservices is a poor design, illustrates the problems with mixed internal‑external APIs, and presents three practical alternatives—explicit parameter passing, centralized authentication via an API gateway with Spring Cloud Gateway and Feign, and a shared auth module with K8s integration—detailing their pros, cons, and implementation steps.
This guide introduces RedisInsight—a visual Redis GUI—covers its key features, provides step‑by‑step instructions for Linux and Kubernetes installation, explains environment variable configuration, shows how to start the service, and demonstrates basic usage for monitoring and managing Redis instances.
This article walks through the step‑by‑step evolution of a large‑scale e‑commerce backend—from a single‑server setup to microservices, containerization, and cloud platforms—highlighting the technical challenges, key technologies, and design principles that enable millions of concurrent users.
This guide introduces NginxPulse, a lightweight Nginx log analysis panel, explains its key features, shows how to run it with Docker or Docker‑Compose, configure multiple sites, customize log formats, pull remote logs, and troubleshoot common issues, all with concrete commands and examples.
This article explains how to replace repetitive try‑catch blocks in Java Spring applications with a unified exception handling strategy that leverages @ControllerAdvice, custom enums, and assertion utilities, providing clean, maintainable code, internationalized error messages, and consistent response structures for both business and system errors.
This article introduces a Maven aggregation Quickstart plugin for IntelliJ IDEA that automates the creation of multi‑module Java projects, explains its core features, provides step‑by‑step installation and usage instructions, shows how to customize templates, and offers troubleshooting tips along with the source repository.
The article explains how excessive if‑else branching in multi‑business systems harms code maintainability, and demonstrates how a workflow engine combined with a plugin extension mechanism can isolate business logic, simplify testing, and enable flexible execution chains, using the open‑source MemberClub project as a concrete example.
This article explains why large file downloads can fail on unstable networks, how to use HTTP Range headers and status codes for resumable downloads, and provides a complete SpringBoot implementation—including controller, service logic, and range‑parsing code—to enable reliable partial content delivery.
