The Backend Engineering Show with Hussein Nasser
Hussein Nasser
Welcome to the Backend Engineering Show podcast with your host Hussein Nasser. If you like software engineering you’ve come to the right place. I discuss all sorts of software engineering technologies and news with specific focus on the backend. All opinions are my own.
Most of my content in the podcast is an audio version of videos I post on my youtube channel here http://www.youtube.com/c/HusseinNasser-software-engineering

Episode 64 - ArcGIS Server Talk - When to use Sync vs async gp service?
If you go to the geoprocessing service in Manager you might have noticed that there is an option to run asynchronously. In this episode we explain when you might want to do this!

Episode 63 - Geodatabase Talk - SDE Intercepts
Sde intercept
Any operation performed on ArcGIS ends up eventually to the geodatabase as a set of one or more queries. A “zoom-in” or pan operation translates to multiple queries to the underlying geodatabase.
SDE intercepts always you to intercept and take a look at those queries to diagnose slow operations in your enterprise geodatabase. It also helps pinpoint where the bottle neck is and how can you optimize your app or geodatabase. https://support.esri.com/en/technical-article/000010355

Episode 62 - Load Balancer vs Reverse Proxy
Most of the time a Load balancer is a reverse proxy but a reverse proxy is not necessary a load balancer. Reverse proxy takes a request from client and forward it to “a server” doesn’t care of the server is overloaded or down or not just forwards it. Load balancer stores state about each server behind it, how overloaded each server is, and what server is down, and smartly forward request to a server to balance the load across all the group. So a load balancer is a special case of a reverse proxy but smarter!
