The Backend Engineering Show with Hussein Nasser

TCP Fast Open Spec https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7413#section-1

In this video I discuss what is the TCP Slow Start and its effect on performance of backend applications, proxies and even frontend applications.

In this video, I explain why we can't run unencrypted HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 without enabling TLS. This is because of Protocol Ossification.

Article: Why Turning on HTTP/2 Was a Mistake - Lucidchart - https://www.lucidchart.com/techblog/2019/04/10/why-turning-on-http2-was-a-mistake/  In this video I discuss this article and my opinion.  That is not a limitation of HTTP/2 but of the application that couldn't handle the request. It is like driving a volvo all your life and then switching to a Ferrari and saying it was a mistake because its too fast. I disagree with the solutions of throttling the LB and I think the app should either be architected to not send this much requests if possible or just add more servers since HTTP is stateless you should be able to scale. HTTP/2 however does use more cpu it is dealing with many streams. The article doesn’t explain if it was H2 all the way though or not.    0:00 Intro 1:17 HTTP/1.1 Current Architecture  4:00 What happened when They Enabled HTTP/2 AT LB 7:00 Why I disagree with the throttling  8:00 Proposed Solutions  12:15 Why HTTP/2 can be CPU intensive   Card at minute 3 playlist http2   🏭 Backend Engineering Videos https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQnljOFTspQUNnO4p00ua_C5mKTfldiYT  💾 Database Engineering Videos https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQnljOFTspQXjD0HOzN7P2tgzu7scWpl2  🛰 Network Engineering Videos https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQnljOFTspQUBSgBXilKhRMJ1ACqr7pTr  🏰 Load Balancing and Proxies Videos https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQnljOFTspQVMeBmWI2AhxULWEeo7AaMC  🐘 Postgres Videos  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQnljOFTspQWGrOqslniFlRcwxyY94cjj  🚢Docker https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQnljOFTspQWsD-rakNw1C20c1JI8UR1r  🧮 Programming Pattern Videos  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQnljOFTspQV1emqxKbcP5esAf4zpqWpe  🛡 Web Security Videos https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQnljOFTspQU3YDMRSMvzflh_qXoz9zfv  🦠 HTTP Videos https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQnljOFTspQU6zO0drAYHFtkkyfNJw1IO  🐍 Python Videos https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQnljOFTspQU_M83ARz8mDdr4LThzkBKX  🔆 Javascript Videos  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQnljOFTspQWab0g3W6ZaDM6_Buh20EWM  👾Discord Server https://discord.gg/CsFbFce  Become a Member  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_ML5xP23TOWKUcc-oAE_Eg/join  Support me on PayPal https://bit.ly/33ENps4  Become a Patreon https://www.patreon.com/join/hnasr?  Stay Awesome, Hussein

In this video I have a conversation with you on how we one break it into backend engineering answer most of your questions, what should you write in a CV, what recruiters expect for backend engineers etc..   Question: Hey Hussein, I hope you are doing well, Are there any tips or tricks I can do to make it easier to break into the industry as a back-end developer? i mean what are recruiters looking for in a CV? i would be glad if you made a video about that.

In this video I discuss multicast DNS. Wikipedia defines multicast dns In computer networking, the multicast DNS (mDNS) protocol resolves hostnames to IP addresses within small networks that do not include a local name server.    0:00 Intro 0:30 DNS Explained in LAN 4:00 Multicast DNS

In this video, I explain the different cases where we overengineer software especially in two pieces, software code, and system design and architecture.  Chapters 0:00 Intro 1:45 OverEngineering in Software Development 7:15 OverEngineering System Design

We know ISP can block you from going to YouTube all together but can they block you from watching a single youtube video? I discuss that in this video  Stay Awesome, Hussein

In this video I explain what happened to services such as stripe & roku which failed to establish TLS sessions because the ROOT certificate AddTrust External CA Root has expired. This is a bug in openSSL and other software the perform this kind of validation.   I explain what happened in details..   Resources https://twitter.com/sleevi_/status/1266647545675210753 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4158 https://ohdear.app/blog/resolving-the-addtrust-external-ca-root-certificate-expiration

Sharing a Single TCP Connection whether this is HTTP, WebSockets or just RAW TCP protocol between multi-threading or multi-processes application is bound to cause bad undesirable effects. I explain this in this video and give example of how QUIC & HTTP/2 have solved this problem.   Pooling 5:00 QUICK Database 6:30 HTTP/2 Playlist 7:00
