The 2023 State of the API Report is here! (Sponsored)
For the fifth year, the State of the API is the world's largest and most comprehensive survey and report on APIs. More than 40,000 developers and API professionals have shared their thoughts on development priorities, their API tools, and where they see APIs going.
Top 6 Load Balancing Algorithms Every Developer Should Know
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.
A nice cheat sheet of different databases in cloud services
Choosing the right database for your project is a complex task. The multitude of database options, each suited to distinct use cases, can quickly lead to decision fatigue.
We hope this cheat sheet provides high level direction to pinpoint the right service that aligns with your project's needs and avoid potential pitfalls.
Note: Google has limited documentation for their database use cases. Even though we did our best to look at what was available and arrived at the best option, some of the entries may be not accurate.

The diagram below shows the architecture of a modern browser. It is based on our understanding of “Inside look at modern web browser” published by the chrome team.
There are in general 4 processes: browser process, renderer process, GPU process, and plugin process.
Browser process controls address bar, bookmarks, back and forward buttons, etc.
Renderer process controls anything inside of the tab where a website is displayed.
GPU process handles GPU tasks.
Plugin process controls the plugins used by the websites.
The browser process coordinates with other processes.
When Chrome runs on powerful hardware, it may split each service in the browser process into different threads, as the diagram below shows. This is called Servicification.
Now let’s go through the steps when we enter a URL in Chrome.
Step 1: The user enters a URL into the browser. This is handled by the UI thread.
Step 2: When the user hits enter, the UI thread initiates a network call to get the site content.
Steps 3-4: The network thread goes through appropriate network protocols and retrieves the content.
Step 5: When the network thread receives responses, it looks at the first few bytes of the stream. If it is an HTML file, it is passed to the renderer process by the browser process.
Steps 6-9: An IPC is sent from the browser process to the renderer process to commit the navigation. A data pipe is established between the network thread and the renderer process so that the renderer can receive data. Once the browser process hears confirmation that the commit has happened in the renderer process, the navigation is complete and the document loading phase begins.Over to you: Why does Chrome assign each tab a renderer process?

The CFO’s guide to digitizing the finance function
A company’s digital core is increasingly becoming the purview of the CFO, who must work in lockstep with the CEO to help lead the kind of digital- and AI-transformation efforts that many organizations today are pursuing. A flurry of enticing trending technologies—from Web3 to cloud computing to generative AI—carry with them great promise for improving process efficiencies and unlocking significant value, but for many of today’s finance leaders, achieving these results remains elusive.
Half a decade ago, as finance functions increasingly explored the promising benefits of automation and artificial intelligence, Ishaan Seth and the coauthors of this McKinsey classic article challenged CFOs to consider three key actions as they moved to a digital finance operating model: understand which activities should be automated to deliver the most value, rethink processes around the technology to unleash its full potential, and manage the disruption that will inevitably result from these changes.
Today’s finance leaders will help define how companies use tomorrow’s leading technologies. To help ensure success for you and your people, read our 2018 classic “Bots, algorithms, and the future of the finance function.”The CFO of the future

In the last issue, we discussed the benefits of using a message queue. Then we went through the history of message queue products. It seems that nowadays Kafka is the go-to product when we need to use a message queue in a project. However, it's not always the best choice when we consider specific requirements.
Database-Backed Queue
Let’s use our Starbucks example again. The two most important requirements are:
Asynchronous processing so the cashier can take the next order without waiting.
Persistence so customers’ orders are not missed if there is a problem.
Message ordering doesn’t matter much here because the coffee makers often make batches of the same drink. Scalability is not as important either since queues are restricted to each Starbucks location.
The Starbucks queues can be implemented in a database table. The diagram below shows how it works:
When the cashier takes an order, a new order is created in the database-backed queue. The cashier can then take another order while the coffee maker picks up new orders in batches. Once an order is complete, the coffee maker marks it done in the database. The customer then picks up their coffee at the counter.
A housekeeping job can run at the end of each day to delete complete orders (that is, those with the “DONE status).
For Starbucks’ use case, a simple database queue meets the requirements without needing Kafka. An order table with CRUD (Create-Read-Update-Delete) operations works fine.
Redis-Backed Queue
A database-backed message queue still requires development work to create the queue table and read/write from it. For a small startup on a budget that already uses Redis for caching, Redis can also serve as the message queue.
There are 3 ways to use Redis as a message queue:
Pub/Sub
List
Stream
The diagram below shows how they work.
Pub/Sub is convenient but has some delivery restrictions. The consumer subscribes to a key and receives the data when a producer publishes data to the same key. The restriction is that the data is delivered at most once. If a consumer was down and didn’t receive the published data, that data is lost. Also, the data is not persisted on disk. If Redis goes down, all Pub/Sub data is lost. Pub/Sub is suitable for metrics monitoring where some data loss is acceptable.
The List data structure in Redis can construct a FIFO (First-In-First-Out) queue. The consumer uses BLPOP to wait for messages in blocking mode, so a timeout should be applied. Consumers waiting on the same List form a consumer group where each message is consumed by only one consumer. As a Redis data structure, List can be persisted to disk.
Stream solves the restrictions of the above two methods. Consumers choose where to read messages from - “$” for new messages, “<id>” for a specific message id, or “0-0” for reading from the start.
In summary, database-backed and Redis-backed message queues are easy to maintain. If they can't satisfy our needs, dedicated message queue products are better. We'll compare two popular options next.
RabbitMQ vs. Kafka
For large companies that need reliable, scalable, and maintainable systems, evaluate message queue products on the following:
Functionality
Performance
Scalability
Ecosystem
The diagram below compares two typical message queue products: RabbitMQ and Kafka.
How They Work
RabbitMQ works like a messaging middleware - it pushes messages to consumers then deletes them upon acknowledgment. This avoids message pileups which RabbitMQ sees as problematic.
Kafka was originally built for massive log processing. It retains messages until expiration and lets consumers pull messages at their own pace.
Languages and APIs
RabbitMQ is written in Erlang which makes modifying the core code challenging. However, it offers very rich client API and library support.
Kafka uses Scala and Java but also has client libraries and APIs for popular languages like Python, Ruby, and Node.js.
Performance and Scalability
RabbitMQ handles tens of thousands of messages per second. Even on better hardware, throughput doesn’t go much higher.
Kafka can handle millions of messages per second with high scalability.
Ecosystem
Many modern big data and streaming applications integrate Kafka by default. This makes it a natural fit for these use cases.
Message Queue Use Cases
Now that we’ve covered the features of different message queues, let’s look at some examples of how to choose the right product.
Log Processing and Analysis
For an eCommerce site with services like shopping cart, orders, and payments, we need to analyze logs to investigate customer orders.
The diagram below shows a typical architecture uses the “ELK” stack:
ElasticSearch - indexes logs for full-text search
LogStash - log collection agent
Kibana - UI for search and visualizing logs
Kafka - distributed message queue

ON EXPERIENCE-LED GROWTH
Focusing on existing customers to unlock growth
Harald FanderlMany established companies grappling with competition focus on new customer acquisition to drive growth. But, in fact, focusing on existing customers can better optimize the current business and lay the foundation for future growth.
Experience-led growth, a strategy anchored around the goal of creating great customer satisfaction, also leads to better employee satisfaction and performance. Why?
There are several reasons: if companies focus on customers and their experiences, they make them happier, and because customer journeys go across various silos in organizations, employees can collaborate more and employee satisfaction increases as a result. Higher customer satisfaction and employee performance translates into better financial results and unlocks growth. To make up for the loss of one existing customer, companies have to acquire three new customers. And 80 percent of the value creation achieved by successful growth companies comes from their core business—namely, generating new revenue from existing customers.
Creating a harmonized, seamless customer journey for existing customers can cost significantly less than acquiring new customers. Customers who are more satisfied typically have fewer questions and therefore cost less to maintain, and the likelihood of retaining satisfied customers is 20 to 30 percent higher than if customers are less satisfied. Our research shows that over time, leaders who focus on customer experience achieve not only higher shareholder returns but also up to two times higher revenue growth than those whose customers are not as happy.
This is more critical now than ever because incumbent companies are increasingly reaching a saturation phase. Growth is really slowing down for some, so doubling down on customer orientation can be a great source of finding adjacent areas to grow into. Also, with competition and new solutions being generated from start-ups at a fast pace, it’s important for incumbents to rethink their business models. Focusing more on existing customers is one way to unlock untapped potential.“To make up for the loss of one existing customer, companies have to acquire three new customers.”
One experience-led growth tactic that is working really well these days is for companies to set up a win room that brings together all the important departments in an organization to drive customer acquisition, retention, and operational excellence. With clients in energy, insurance, telecom, and more, we have been successful in establishing experience-led growth as a theme, creating complete transparency between different groups and a better shared understanding of the metrics that drive retention, cross-selling, and growth because they’re in a win room together.
At one energy company in Europe, there were eight or nine floors with roughly 100 people responsible for different parts of the customer acquisition journey all scattered around in a building. We put them all together on one floor. When employees would walk onto this floor each day, they would look up and see numbers with the sales targets of the day, week, month, and year. They could see how they were performing as a complete team. With that information, the analytics team, the marketing team, and the digital team were able to overachieve their sales targets. This led to 20 to 30 percent greater growth beyond their already high ambitions. Financial performance, customer satisfaction, and employee satisfaction measurements over two years showed that all of them were up. It demonstrates what can be achieved with pragmatic approaches across all sectors and industries.
Another important element for successful experience-led growth is ambitious company leadership. It starts in the executive suite, where an engaged CEO can lead everyone to join forces. It’s not just the sales guy delivering the sales numbers; operations plays an important role too. Depending on the company structure, other lines of business need to be brought in as well. Having alignment in top management about how to activate a customer-led approach is absolutely crucial.
The final critical part of effective customer-centric growth is measurement. It’s not only important to measure customer satisfaction or the net promoter score (a metric for customer success) but to prioritize customer journeys. Then you can get to a place where you can predict customer satisfaction through analytics, by anticipating which segments will delight which customers and help retain them, or encourage them to buy more.
Most important, leaders need to be open in their organizations about their transformational journeys. Invite employees in, help them to overcome their mindset blockers, and encourage them to learn new skills. Don’t just say, “Be more customer oriented.” Identify skill gaps and encourage employees to tackle experience-led growth as part of their career development. There’s a strong positive company cultural dimension in bringing people together around their most important asset, the customer.ABOUT THE AUTHOR

A leader’s quick-start guide to generative AI
Share this email
Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
The sheer speed with which generative AI (gen AI) has entered organizations has taken leaders by surprise. It took years for mainstream AI to reach some degree of maturity; in 2022, adoption had more than doubled since 2017, but the proportion of organizations using AI has plateaued between 50 and 60 percent for the past few years. By contrast, one gen AI tool alone reached one million users in just five days. Given the technology’s breakneck pace of evolution and adoption, companies can’t predict just where it will take them, but its business uses already abound. Whether you want to kick off a long-overdue digital transformation or jump-start an underperforming business unit, you may need to incorporate gen AI as an essential component. We’ve collected a wealth of strategies to help you get started.
The title of our latest research report, The state of AI in 2023: Generative AI’s breakout year, says it all. This year’s McKinsey Global Survey confirms the explosive growth of gen AI tools. Many of these tools are less than a year old, yet a third of our survey respondents say that their organizations already use gen AI in at least one business function; high performers deploy it in multiple business functions. But only about a fifth of companies have risk policies in place for gen AI, and these tend to center on intellectual property protection. “The real trap is that companies look at the risk too narrowly,” says McKinsey senior partner Alexander Sukharevsky. “There is a significant range of risks—social, humanitarian, sustainability—that companies need to pay attention to as well.” Businesses need to be “deliberate, structured, and holistic” in considering gen AI’s risks and opportunities, he suggests.
That’s the percentage of hours worked today that could be automated by 2030 with the addition of gen AI, according to new research led by McKinsey senior partners Kweilin Ellingrud and Oliva White and colleagues. Without gen AI, that figure would be 21.5 percent. The jury is out on whether gen AI may cause job losses, but historically, technological advances fuel employment and economic growth despite short-term disruptions. “The biggest impact for knowledge workers that we can state with certainty is that generative AI is likely to significantly change their mix of work activities,” note the McKinsey researchers.
That’s McKinsey senior partner Steve Reis and colleagues on how gen AI is transforming marketing and sales. For example, a gen AI algorithm could identify previously overlooked customer segments, with a gen AI tool drafting tailored content—such as social media posts and landing pages—for those segments. Most industries as well as functions stand to benefit from gen AI: software development could improve productivity, the fashion sector may bring products to market faster, and healthcare could organize and structure heavy volumes of unstructured data.
“It’s doing the kinds of stuff that we would not expect software to do,” says Wharton School professor Ethan Mollick about the unanticipated powers of gen AI. “It literally can write code for you. It can literally do reports for you. It can pass the bar exam.” (A gen AI model did that, performing as well or better than humans on the test.) But at its current stage, the technology may not always be reliable or consistent. In a conversation with McKinsey partner Michael Chui, Mollick suggests that an effective response to this is to treat gen AI as one would treat humans—by accepting that humans sometimes make mistakes and behave illogically. “It absolutely makes stuff up. It hallucinates. We don’t know the full principles, but that would be my starting point: thinking about it like a person.”
Our annual summer reading guide from leaders and editors is one of our most popular features—and this year, among the top books on the list is The Age of AI: And Our Human Future, whose authors assert in the preface that “the technology is changing human thought, knowledge, perception, and reality.” For a respite from technology, you may want to try fiction and poetry. For example, our readers highly recommend Trust, a Pulitzer Prize–winning novel centered on Wall Street in the 1920s, and McKinsey global managing partner Bob Sternfels favors Collected Poems of Robert Service, a volume left to him by his maternal grandfather: “He loved the old West and would recite these to me on car rides as a kid.”
Lead with intelligence, human and artificial.

Introducing New Relic Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST)(Sponsored)
New Relic Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) is now in public preview! Engineers, DevOps, and security teams can now find, fix, and verify high-risk vulnerabilities early and accurately to build more secure applications—and ship code faster.
Git Merge vs. Rebase vs. Squash Commit
Oauth 2.0 Explained With Simple Terms
OAuth 2.0 is a powerful and secure framework that allows different applications to securely interact with each other on behalf of users without sharing sensitive credentials.
The entities involved in OAuth are the User, the Server, and the Identity Provider (IDP).
What Can an OAuth Token Do?
When you use OAuth, you get an OAuth token that represents your identity and permissions. This token can do a few important things:
Single Sign-On (SSO): With an OAuth token, you can log into multiple services or apps using just one login, making life easier and safer.
Authorization Across Systems: The OAuth token allows you to share your authorization or access rights across various systems, so you don't have to log in separately everywhere.
Accessing User Profile: Apps with an OAuth token can access certain parts of your user profile that you allow, but they won't see everything.
Remember, OAuth 2.0 is all about keeping you and your data safe while making your online experiences seamless and hassle-free across different applications and services.
Over to you: Imagine you have a magical power to grant one wish to OAuth 2.0. What would that be? Maybe your suggestions actually lead to OAuth 3.Latest articles

Uber Tech Stack - CI/CD
Uber is one of the most innovative companies in the engineering field. Let’s take a look at their CI/CD tech stacks.
Note: This post is based on research on Uber engineering blogs. If you spot any inaccuracies, please let us know.
Project planning: JIRA
Backend services: Spring Boot to develop their backend services. And to make things even faster, they've created a nifty configuration system called Flipr that allows for speedy configuration releases.
Code issues: They developed NullAway to tackle NullPointer problems and NEAL to lint the code. Plus, they built Piranha to clean out-dated feature flags.
Repository: They believe in Monorepo. It uses Bazel on a large scale.
Testing: They use SLATE to manage short-lived testing environments and rely on Shadower for load testing by replaying production traffic. They even developed Ballast to ensure a smooth user experience.
Experiment platform: it is based on deep learning and they've generously open-sourced parts of it, like Pyro.
Build: Uber packages their services into containers using uBuild. It's their go-to tool, powered by Buildkite, for all the packaging tasks.
Deploying applications: Netflix Spinnaker. It's their trusted tool for getting things into production smoothly and efficiently.
Monitoring: Uber built their own monitoring systems. They use the uMetric platform, built on Cassandra, to keep things consistent.
Special tooling: Uber relies on Peloton for capacity planning, scheduling, and operations. Crane builds a multi-cloud infrastructure to optimize costs. And with uAct and the OnCall dashboard, they've got event tracing and on-call duty management covered.
Have you ever used any of Uber's tech stack for CI/CD? What are your thoughts on their CI/CD setup?Leadership Styles Around The World
Different leadership styles can be profoundly influenced by cultural differences. Do you agree with the diagram?
