CI/CD pipelines only know about the tests you explicitly defined.

I think there should be a good tool that will handle all edge case one forgot to test

[Akubue Alexander @AkubueAlexander]

When you hear prevent race condition, you will think its just locking a row in the table till the transaction completes, but in reality its's a habit, you will implementing it in many places in your codebase, for fintech projects, it's a sin omit it in 1/1000 place in your codebase

Saga Pattern and Transactional Outbox Pattern is definitely a must know, I have overheard about it

[Akubue Alexander @AkubueAlexander]

I have low-key started researching about building GoldTech bank, it’s still blurry for now.

I will definitely crack this on my own.

Alex the self taught developer

[Akubue Alexander @AkubueAlexander]

I have from tomorrow till 14th July to do all form of testing, CI/CD and full documentation, it’s a massive milestone.

15th July is my birthday, I will love to start it with a new chapter of my life, starting with Building a NEO bank with microservice, it’s a huge step in my career.

Am proud of what i achieved my my current 1 year. My new chapter will be greater.

Finally took the app from cart addition to final delivery! 📦 Handled the entire Q-commerce flow, logistics, and real-time tracking. Massive win getting this distributed stack and robust ledger system orchestrated and running smoothly. 💻🚀

[Akubue Alexander @AkubueAlexander]

Financial ledger seems easy till you realize that the entire balance of the system is depending on ledger as the ultimate source of truth, the balance column in your wallet table is just to display balance fast, if there is compromise on the account balance, its ledger that will give the final verdict. omo to transition to senior dev is not beans ooo....software development go first humble you 😅

[Akubue Alexander @AkubueAlexander]

Soon i will start hitting it big with Laravel....still building and growing internally for now....so far so good, Laravel is amazing, we are being handed the key to build massive enterprise applications and tools quickly without compromising on quality

Query Builder vs Eloquent ORM
Eloquent thrives on Core business logic, CRUD, relationships, and rapid API development, while Query Builder is good at High-speed data ingestion, bulk writes, complex reports, and ledger entries.

[Akubue Alexander @AkubueAlexander]

this is an example of edge case, even though its expecting pending_acceptance status from frontend, the backend doesn't put all its trust on the data sent from frontend

[Akubue Alexander @AkubueAlexander]

I didn't know there will be a time i will leave VS Code until time reached, VS Code started my codes red because it couldn't comprehend Laravel magic methods and so on despite the fact i have all necessary Laravel extension installed, i quietly embraced PhpStorm and am not coming back to VS for any Laravel project

@dev_olayinka microservice

[Akubue Alexander @AkubueAlexander]

@ash_twtz By 2027 i must have started getting comfortable in Computer Vision, I will slowly transition from software development to computer vision Engineer, software development will just be added advantage to me

[Akubue Alexander @AkubueAlexander]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Gemini rate me ooooo, well sha it’s matter of days i will bring out time to write tests for this Q-commerce, set up CI/CD and call it a day, move to my fintech project, can’t wait to start diving into the world of microservices

[Akubue Alexander @AkubueAlexander]

Most developers just use Dependency Injection and call it a day. The "deep" level is understanding how to leverage bind, singleton, extend, and resolving callbacks to create modular, decoupled architectures.

[Akubue Alexander @AkubueAlexander]

Omo multi-vendor logistics is not beans oo, done with the Q-Commerce side of project and dealing with the logistics, the driver needs to pick up items from different stores in sequence, once they accept the ping the map of the first store will load, after the processes they will hand the driver the item once confirmed the system loads the second store in map, the order status will update to in_transit when all items have been picked from all stores, map will load the customer location

[Akubue Alexander @AkubueAlexander]

have you experienced type geometry before?

[Akubue Alexander @AkubueAlexander]

Am happy am building this Q-Commerce as monolithic, I get to focus on the core business logic, by mid of this month I will lose the luxury of wrapping my database operations in a transaction cos they no longer in the same server or database i will use to use Saga Pattern to have that experience….I haven’t been this motivated to lock-in the way I am this days, their is always this hunger to bridge the gap to where I want to be in life. Live that dream life i fantasized about growing up.

Dream chaser ❤️
