API Vs SDK! What's the difference?
The Open Source AI Stack
You don’t need to spend a fortune to build an AI application. The best AI developer tools are open-source, and an excellent ecosystem is evolving that can make AI accessible to everyone.
The key components of this open-source AI stack are as follows:Frontend
To build beautiful AI UIs, frameworks like NextJS and Streamlit are extremely useful. Also, Vercel can help with deployment.Embeddings and RAG libraries
Embedding models and RAG libraries like Nomic, JinaAI, Cognito, and LLMAware help developers build accurate search and RAG features.Backend and Model Access
For backend development, developers can rely on frameworks like FastAPI, Langchain, and Netflix Metaflow. Options like Ollama and Huggingface are available for model access.Data and Retrieval
For data storage and retrieval, several options like Postgres, Milvus, Weaviate, PGVector, and FAISS are available.Large-Language Models
Based on performance benchmarks, open-source models like Llama, Mistral, Qwen, Phi, and Gemma are great alternatives to proprietary LLMs like GPT and Claude.
Over to you: Which other tool will you add to the Open Source AI Stack?
Cookies Vs Sessions Vs JWT Vs PASETO
Authentication ensures that only authorized users gain access to an application’s resources. It answers the question of the user’s identity i.e. “Who are you?”
The modern authentication landscape has multiple approaches: Cookies, Sessions, JWTs, and PASETO. Here’s what they mean:Cookies and Sessions
Cookies and sessions are authentication mechanisms where session data is stored on the server and referenced via a client-side cookie.
Sessions are ideal for applications requiring strict server-side control over user data. On the downside, sessions may face scalability challenges in distributed systems.JWT
JSON Web Token (JWT) is a stateless, self-contained authentication method that stores all user data within the token.
JWTs are highly scalable but require careful handling to mitigate the chances of token theft and manage token expiration.PASETO
Platform-Agnostic Security Tokens or PASETO improve upon JWT by enforcing stronger cryptographic defaults and eliminating algorithmic vulnerabilities.
PASETO simplifies token implementation by avoiding the risks associated with misconfiguration.
Over to you: Which authentication approach have you used?
Algorithms you should know before taking System Design Interviews
What are some of the algorithms you should know before taking system design interviews?
I put together a list and explained why they are important. Those algorithms are not only useful for interviews but good to understand for any software engineer.
One thing to keep in mind is that understanding “how those algorithms are used in real-world systems” is generally more important than the implementation details in a system design interview.
What do the stars mean in the diagram?
It’s very difficult to rank algorithms by importance objectively. I’m open to suggestions and making adjustments.
Five-star: Very important. Try to understand how it works and why.
Three-star: Important to some extent. You may not need to know the implementation details.
One-star: Advanced. Good to know for senior candidates.
Over to you: did I miss anything important on the list? Which ones do you know and which you don’t?Top 6 Load Balancing Algorithms
Static Algorithms
1. Round robin
The client requests are sent to different service instances in sequential order. The services are usually required to be stateless.
2. Sticky round-robin
This is an improvement of the round-robin algorithm. If Alice’s first request goes to service A, the following requests go to service A as well.
3. Weighted round-robin
The admin can specify the weight for each service. The ones with a higher weight handle more requests than others.
4. Hash
This algorithm applies a hash function on the incoming requests’ IP or URL. The requests are routed to relevant instances based on the hash function result.Dynamic Algorithms
5. Least connections
A new request is sent to the service instance with the least concurrent connections.
6. Least response time
A new request is sent to the service instance with the fastest response time.
How TikTok Manages a 200K File Frontend MonoRepo?
A MonoRepo, short for a monolithic repository, is a software development strategy where a single repository contains multiple projects, libraries, and services.
The good parts of a MonoRepo are:Better code sharing
Simplified dependency management
A unified view of the code base
However, the bigger the MonoRepo gets, the slower the various Git operations.
TikTok faced a similar change with its frontend TypeScript MonoRepo with 200K files.
To deal with this, TikTok built a tool named Sparo that optimizes the performance of Git operations for large frontend MonoRepos.
Sparo dramatically improved the performance of Git operations. Some stats are as followsGit clone time went from 40 mins to just 2 mins.
Checkout went from 1.5 minutes to 30 seconds.
Status went from 7 seconds to 1 second.
Git commit time went from 15 seconds to 11 seconds.
Over to you: Have you used MonoRepos in your projects?

[MS: Part 3 of 5] The Perfect Webinar
Hey,
ClickFunnels, the business I co-founded hit $1 billion in sales!
But when we first launched in 2014, we couldn't even get people to sign up for a FREE trial.
Six weeks in, a friend asked if I could speak at his event and sell a ClickFunnels trial for $1,000.
I told you yesterday about my first painful presentation where I couldn't sell anything…
So, how did I go from zero success to closing 60% of the room on a $1,000 offer to try out ClickFunnels?
Here's the answer.
In the years between my terrible presentation and the launch of ClickFunnels, I did something I was SO afraid to do before.
I sought out the top speakers and marketers in America and asked them how to improve.
I went to events, did my pitch, and then asked every successful person who’d seen it what I was doing wrong.
Here are just a few of the 'secrets' they taught me:
- One speaker taught me the secret to ‘breaking beliefs’—crucial for getting people to open up and see the value in my ideas.
- Another taught me the secret of ‘future pacing’—key to helping people imagine how their lives could change if they bought into my ideas.
- And another showed me the secret of making ‘irresistible offers’—the key to getting people to leap out of their chairs and buy what I was selling.
I strung these secrets together to create an amazing presentation, which got almost two-thirds of the room ready to try ClickFunnels for $1,000 each.
That night at dinner, I told my co-founder Todd Dickerson,
"Todd, I can do that same presentation 1,000 times over—we’re gonna be rich, crazy rich!"
And that’s exactly what I did.
I rolled out that same pitch 70 or 80 times that year, closing 45-50% of the audience at live presentations and 15% on live-streamed webinars, bringing in millions of dollars.
One perfect webinar changed ClickFunnels forever!
But that’s only part of the story. A couple of years later, I started teaching others my ‘Perfect Webinar’ script, and it’s gone on to help hundreds of people make over $10 million each in their funnels.
Do you see a pattern here?
I knew nothing, discovered the secrets of successful people, became successful, saw others struggling just like I had, and the same secrets made those people successful too!
You can check out the Perfect Webinar script in my book *DotCom Secrets*.
Here’s a link to get a FREE copy.
But... I didn’t tell you this story just to give you a webinar script.
What if you don’t sell with webinars and never will?
I want you to understand that the right ‘secrets’ can unlock an INSANE amount of success—even if you’ve been trying and trying and getting nowhere!
I want to cement this idea in your mind. It really will shatter the ceiling to your success—and I’ve got a way to do this in my next email.
Look out for it: [MS: Part 4 of 5] The ‘South Col’ Route

NEW FHL speaker!!! (+ FREE bonus)
26 days away…
26 days away from the GREATEST MARKETING event ever produced – and I can’t wait to serve you with the HIGHEST-CALIBER marketing and business strategies to ensure your 2025 is the most profitable year to date!!!
That is, of course, you already secured your ticket (and grabbed your hotel room using our special discount code)...

So, if you haven’t secured your ticket – as well as the numerous FREE marketing bonuses to help you jump-start your success this year) – then go here now and act now because we are so very close to capacity!! →
Now… onto today’s interview!
Here’s why I’m so pumped about today’s guest – he is someone who has been quietly crushing it “behind-the-scenes”... raking in MILLIONS in sales, and he does it using “mix-n-match” funnel I’ve never seen work before, at least not at the high level Josiah is doing for his clients.
His name is Josiah Grimes!
Josiah’s not someone who goes about bragging about his successes (which is A LOT)… instead, he just shows you the proof, and then reveals exactly what he does to get BOATLOADS of clients saying “YES!” to his high-ticket offers.
WATCH TODAY’S INTERVIEW W/ JOSIAH GRIMES @ 2:00 PM ET →
The funnel he uses is actually a “Frankenstein” funnel – combining two powerhouse funnels into one, and the results are out of this world.
The best part…?
What Josiah teaches works for any business or offer.
Anyway, after he spoke at one of my exclusive mastermind retreats we do for our Inner Circle Members…
…I immediately asked him to speak at Funnel Hacking LIVE in Vegas because I KNOW what he has to share has the potential of changing the lives of our Funnel Hackers (including those they serve)!!
WATCH TODAY’S INTERVIEW W/ JOSIAH GRIMES @ 2:00 PM ET →
That’s it!!!
I’ll see you today at 2 PM ET!Russell Brunson
P.S. Don’t forget, you’re just one funnel away…

[MS: Part 2 of 5] I Quit!
Hey,
Last year at FunnelHacking Live, I did a presentation that brought in a whopping $3.2 million in just 90 minutes!
It was a record-breaking moment, but it wasn’t always that way.
Twenty years ago, I gave my first-ever live sales presentation, and it was a complete disaster.I had just seen speaker after speaker make over $50,000 with their pitches.
But when it was my turn, everything went wrong.
- The sound guy messed up my grand finale with motivational music.
- Not a single person stood up to get my offer at the back of the room.
- Just TOTAL SILENCE.
It was horrible.I felt so embarrassed and defeated.
I locked myself in my hotel room for two days, watching movies and bingeing on Haagen Daaz and coconut shrimp, thinking, “I QUIT!”
But everything changed when I discovered a couple of ‘secrets.’
Here's a little backstory: My obsession with sales presentations started in the early 2000s when I attended an Armand Morin seminar.The first speaker's pitch caused a TABLE RUSH! People were literally jumping over chairs and tables to pay $2,000 for the offer.
I counted 20, then 25, then 30 people… the speaker made over $60,000 in minutes!
I knew I had to learn this skill.So, a couple of years later I got another chance.
A friend asked me to speak at their event, I was thrilled. I worked tirelessly on my presentation.
But back then, I was super shy and awkward. I crammed my pitch into the last 20 seconds of my talk, and it flopped.
Quitting was all I could think about!
I had convinced my wife, my family, and my friends that my life was going to change.My wife was working two jobs to support us, and I felt like a failure.
Then, I attended another conference and had an epiphany: There were speakers who looked, talked, and dressed like me, making over $60,000 in an hour.What if this was a learnable skill?
What if this was a learnable skill? What if there were specific methods, techniques, and tricks I could learn from top speakers?
Once I embraced this idea, everything changed. I did a sales pitch that closed 60% of the entire room!
In my next email, I'll share the ‘secrets’ that got me there.
Look out for [MS: Part 3 of 5] The Perfect Webinar!
Talk tomorrow,Russell Brunson

A set of essential questions for CEOs
On McKinsey Perspectives
Brought to you by Alex Panas, global leader of industries, & Axel Karlsson, global leader of functional practices and growth platforms
Welcome to the latest edition of Only McKinsey Perspectives. We hope you find our insights useful. Let us know what you think at Alex_Panas@McKinsey.com and Axel_Karlsson@McKinsey.com.

•
Flying blind. Aircraft pilots use checklists before, during, and after flights to make sure they’re doing all they can to have a smooth trip. But CEOs rarely use such checklists, according to McKinsey senior partners Carolyn Dewar, Kurt Strovink, Scott Keller, and Vik Malhotra. In the research for their New York Times best-selling book, CEO Excellence, they found that many of today’s business leaders are awash in metrics but lack the systematic tools and approaches that could help them translate data into action.
•
Asking the right questions. McKinsey conducted in-depth interviews with more than 70 successful CEOs to understand the practices and habits that support strong organizational performance. Drawing on these findings, the authors developed an essential checklist of questions, across six categories, that every CEO should be able to answer: everything from direction setting to personal effectiveness. Explore (and download) the full list of key questions for CEOs, and visit our World Economic Forum 2025 page to get a sneak peek of the global issues that many leaders will be addressing at Davos next week.

Stateless Architecture: The Key to Building Scalable and Resilient Systems
To receive all the full articles and support ByteByteGo, consider subscribing:
Monolithic architecture is a software development approach in which the entire application is built as a single, unified codebase. It is often the simplest way to develop and deploy software.
For small teams or projects, monoliths provide simplicity, fast development, and easy deployment. However, as the application grows, this simplicity becomes a double-edged sword, introducing several challenges such as:
Scalability Bottlenecks: The entire application is scaled as a single unit in a monolith. If only one part of the application experiences high demand (for example, a reporting module), the entire application must scale, wasting resources on less demanding components.
Maintenance Issues: As the codebase grows, monoliths become harder to maintain. Dependencies between different parts of the application increase and each change has a larger impact radius.
Deployment Complexity: In a monolithic system, a small change in one module requires redeploying the entire application, even if the rest of the system remains unchanged.
Limited Technology Choices: All parts of a monolith must typically use the same technology stack. If the application is written in Java, for example, adding a new feature in Python or using a specialized library becomes impractical.
Resiliency Challenges: A failure in one part of a monolith can bring down the entire application.
Microservices architecture addresses the challenges of monoliths by breaking the application into smaller, independent services. Each service is responsible for a specific functionality and can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently.
However, transitioning from a monolithic architecture to microservices is a complex process. In this article, we’ll look at a few proven patterns that can help make the transition easier.

[MS: Part 1 of 5] The ‘Brick Wall’
Hey,
I'm Russell Brunson, co-founder of ClickFunnels, and I'm on a mission to help entrepreneurs like you achieve success as quickly as possible.
Can you do me a favor?Think about the biggest challenge your business is facing right now. Because today, I'm going to share how you're going to overcome it!
Reflecting on my 20+ years in business, I didn't find success right away. In fact, I launched 93 funnels before ClickFunnels, and many of them failed.There were moments when I wanted to QUIT, times when:
- People made fun of me
- I lost a lot of money
- My goals seemed out of reach
- I felt lonely
- My life was out of balance
Over and over, I hit brick walls.But here's the thing: the journey might feel lonely, but you're not alone. Every successful person who has got the success you want has faced obstacles and found a way through.
I call their methods 'Marketing Secrets,' and one of these secrets could be the key to unlocking the next step in your journey.
I've seen countless people with amazing ideas face rejection, struggle to convert their offers, and feel the weight of doubt.They start to think, "Maybe I'm not cut out for this online business thing."
It's like carrying a 10-ton weight, and I've been there too.
You're NOT alone!
But once I discovered these 'secrets,' everything changed.When something failed, I tweaked it and tried again. My offers improved, and I started to embrace challenges because I knew they were opportunities to learn.
In tomorrow's email, I'll share the story of how these 'secrets' helped me take ClickFunnels from zero to its first tens of millions of dollars.The story begins at a time when I thought I wasn't going to make it.
Look out for [MS: Part 2 of 5] I Quit!
Talk tomorrow,Russell Brunson

Creating change with teams. Today’s volatile business environment demands that organizations adapt quickly and innovate continuously. While companies seeking to improve performance may have tried transforming themselves from the top-down or the bottom-up—relying either on senior leaders or on programs that aim to change employee mindsets—there is another way. As McKinsey senior partner Arne Gast and coauthors explain, a team-centric approach to transformation can usher in lasting, significant gains.
