@heinzkabutz @bazza_ni What's the answer.. Please provide explanation as well

[Technical Charts @Technicalchart1]

Manoj Madhusudhanan took a ₹1.86 crore home loan from ICICI Bank.

As collateral, he handed over his original property documents. Every homebuyer does this. You have no choice.

ICICI Bank sent those documents to their storage facility in Hyderabad via courier. Somewhere on that journey — Bangalore to Hyderabad — the documents vanished.

Gone. Originals. Irreplaceable.

When Manoj found out, ICICI Bank had one answer: it was the courier company's fault. Not ours.

He went to the Banking Ombudsman. They told ICICI to publish a public notice about the loss and pay him ₹25,000 for the trouble.

Twenty-five thousand rupees. For losing the original documents to a ₹1.86 crore property.

Manoj sent a legal notice. ICICI denied any mistake.

He went to the NCDRC.

The apex consumer court looked at the facts. The bank had taken custody of the documents. The bank had chosen the courier. The bank could not hand that liability to a third party and walk away.

ICICI Bank — India's second-largest private bank, ₹9 lakh crore in assets — was held liable. Ordered to obtain reconstructed certified copies, issue an indemnity bond, and pay ₹25 lakh in compensation.

One loan. One lost file. One bank that blamed the courier.

Save this — if your bank loses your original property documents, they cannot blame their courier agent. The documents were in their custody. The liability is theirs. File at your district consumer forum. The law is on your side.

A boy from Guwahati solved a 30 year old mathematical mystery as a college student. Then came back home. Chose Bangalore over Princeton. Kept solving problems nobody else could. Quietly. Consistently. Brilliantly

"The hardest problems are the most beautiful ones."

Some people chase fame. He just chased the problem

Horrified by the murderous attack on Saleem Wastik. Mr Wastik knew the punishment for apostasy in Islam is death, and yet he never hesitated to speak the truth.

Lift your head and stand with Saleem today, or you will not have a head to lift up and the legs to stand on tomorrow.

Docker 101: Pass Environment Variables to Containers 🐳

Apps are often configured via env vars. However, if you set an env var in your current shell, it won't be passed to the container, because it runs in its own execution environment.

Load Balancer vs API Gateway vs Backend-For Frontend simplified.

✅ Load Balancer

When you check in to a hotel, you are usually greeted by a receptionist.

The receptionist checks your documents, enters your info into their system, and guides you to your room.

If there are too many guests, the hotel might keep multiple receptionists.

Load balancers do a similar job for your application.

It’s a tool that distributes incoming requests across multiple servers.

Also, load balancers keep your system available. If one server goes down, it directs the request to another server.

✅ API Gateway

Imagine a scenario where a company is conducting interviews for various positions, such as Tech Architect, Engineering Manager, and Software Engineer.

Each position has a dedicated interview panel.

Now, you don’t want the candidates to check each room to find the correct panel.

This is where a coordinator checks the candidate’s profile and directs them to the correct panel.

For a system, API Gateway is that coordinator.

API Gateways can also perform different functions like authentication, rate limiting, logging, and caching.

✅ Backend for Frontend

Let’s take our interview example further.

For every position (Arch, Engineering Manager, Software Engineer), there are specific rounds of discussions.

Some rounds are different based on the position but some may be common for all positions (such as the Director Round).

How do you coordinate this for each position?

Backends for Frontends is your BFF in this scenario. It’s a coordinator that takes care of the specific rounds for a particular type of interview.

In system terms, BFF is the component that can take care of different device requirements.

👉 So - have you used Load Balancers, API Gateways & BFFs?
