Valkey: the future of open-source Redis! — You might have heard some of the shenanigans going on with the Redis licensing strategy lately... If you haven't the TLDR; is that, with the new license, cloud hosting providers are not allowed anymore to use the source code of Redis free of charge. This has created lots of interest in spinning up a new Redis-compatible alternative. Valkey is probably the most promising at this point. It's a fork of Redis that has been endorsed by AWS, Google Cloud, and Oracle and it's backed by the Linux Foundation. Definitely something to watch closely and add to your bookmarks! View Repository

ETag and HTTP caching — One neat use case for the HTTP ETag header is client-side HTTP caching for GET requests. Along with the ETag header, the caching workflow requires you to fiddle with other conditional HTTP headers like If-Match or If-None-Match.

This article gives you a great overview of what kind of options do you have for client-side caching using HTTP headers with a particular focus on the role of the ETag header. Read article

Mastering API Architecture: Design, Operate, and Evolve API-Based Systemsby James Gough, Daniel Bryant, and Matthew Auburn |
|
Most organizations with a web presence build and operate APIs; the doorway for customers to interact with the company's services. Designing, building, and managing these critical programs affect everyone in the organization, from engineers and product owners to C-suite executives. But the real challenge for developers and solution architects is creating an API platform from the ground up. With this practical book, you'll learn strategies for building and testing REST APIs that use API gateways to combine offerings at the microservice level. Authors James Gough, Daniel Bryant, and Matthew Auburn demonstrate how simple additions to this infrastructure can help engineers and organizations migrate to the cloud; and open the opportunity to connect internal services using technologies like a service mesh.
