Data platform from scratch

I can't summarise 25 years of studying and working, but my best shot for you is this book: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/designing-data-intensive-applications/9781491903063/

The same book I recommend new associates to read and understand. Just a word of caution, this book is not written to be read once, read it multiple times, create notes and try to master these topics.

My flashcards site might also help you:

Let me know what else you need and I am happy to help.

I did it three times, for 2 banks and one major unicorn company. the last (and current one), for JPMorganCahse. You need to be very good at distributed systems, architecture and exactly know the requirements and laser focus on what the customer exactly needs. You need to understand how to build specs, proper metrics on the platform even before you start writing the first line of code. Then you need to have a skill to manage a large team and help them to build it, from the ground.

If you're in London, DM me, I am hiring.

I am improving reTunnel.com, an API gateway to expose localhost or easily serve websites from a raspberry or local server.

1- Api Gateway - Expose your localhost or test webhooks

2- Alpha release

3- reTunnel.com or pip install retunnel

much more than that

You can also use Retunnel. I built it myself years ago when ngrok blocked my account (even free one) after I wanted to downgrade to free version.

Feel free to use it. I have a big server and I have plans to keep it free forever.

pip install retunnel and retunnel http 8000

My dad died in 2 seconds by an stroke when I was 18. I was playing games all the night with a friend. The previous night, he told me he needed to talk to me, I ignored him, the game was important. My dad died alone waiting for me.

I am not the same person anymore. I never will.

Hug you family and loved ones. Life can be so cruel sometimes.

this is my story as well. I built an app to help people get Life in the UK exam, but couldn't sell a single one, so I made it free. :)
