@bahdcoder The architecture should reflect the organization. Microservices can help large teams move faster by giving teams ownership and allowing them to ship independently. The mistake is adopting them before the organization actually needs those boundaries.
@Akintola_steve I’d make the Payment Service idempotent using a unique payment key, then use a transactional outbox.
On successful payment, persist the payment + outbox event in the same DB transaction. A worker publishes the event asynchronously.
If Service A times out, it can safely retry.
Building a job ingestion engine.
I thought the hard part would be the architecture, queues, scraping, and pipelines.
Turns out the hardest problem is data quality. The internet is full of messy, inconsistent, incomplete data.
Woke up this morning and saw a video that renovations have finally kicked off at Eni Njoku, one of the boys’ hostels in UNN, less than a month after Alex Onyia started calling out the UNN administration, and I just want to say a heartfelt thank you to him.
Only people who attended UNN can truly explain how depleted that hostel is. To put it into perspective, that opening in the roof shown in the video happened during a heavy rainfall back in my 300 level in 2021, and it was still there in 2026.
My Alex Onyia, the universe will speak good of you!
Apparently someone in kaduna mobilized youths to go after bandits and kidnappers in the state.
He was arrested by this government and sentenced to death by hanging.
Makes you wonder who’s being protected by this administration, citizens or terrorists??
The only party signup I did, was Labour Party.
When they moved funny, I deleted my profile.
I didn't signup for ADC - I decided not to shout up any party until I saw my Principal on the ballot.
If it is Vikings that will field my principal for 2027, I will buy red beret.
