🍿 Interesting readings on Distributed Locks and the Redlock Pattern in Redis 🍿
Are you interested in distributed systems? Grab your 🍿 because you might enjoy diving into an interesting discussion about distributed locks and the Redlock pattern used in Redis. These conversations took place a few years ago but they are still relevant in my opinion. I first discovered an article by Martin Kleppmann: “How to do distributed locking”. It offers a deep dive into the complexities and challenges of implementing distributed locks, and focuses on Redis Redlock pattern. Kleppmann’s perspectives are thought-provoking and provide a solid understanding of the topic. ...
Navigating the transition: Returning to work after Parental Leave
Becoming a parent is known as one of life’s greatest blessings. However, taking care of a newborn can be a challenging and exhausting experience, and it requires a significant amount of time and energy, especially if it’s not the first one, like in my case. Thankfully, I could take a few months off to focus on taking care of her and the rest of the family. Parental leave is a benefit I could enjoy twice, and I recommend taking it to all new parents. However, some challenges and difficulties can arise when coming back to your work, and this short blog post attempts to explain how to overcome them (from my point of view). ...
What does it mean to me to be an ultralight pilot?
For those that don’t know yet, I fly ultralight aircrafts in my spare time. Or at least I try to do it as much as I can. What are the ultralight or light-structured aircrafts I pilot? In Europe, ultralight aircrafts are small powered aircrafts of max two seats, with a multi-axis wing, with a weight of up to 600 kg, among other specifications. Essential restrictions apply: those can only fly in class G (Golf) airspace and VFR (Visual Flight Rules) mode, basically meaning you can’t fly if you can’t see the ground (you can’t use instrumentation exclusively to navigate). You need to have a license for flying those (and another for radio communication, which is optional). ...
