Session tokens, clerkMiddleware request interception, server-side auth helpers, Organizations multi-tenancy, and webhook sync for Next.js App Router apps.
Caching Architecture Across CDN, Edge, and Application Layers
Five caching layers, one request. HTTP Cache-Control headers, Next.js data cache, Vercel CDN, and Upstash Redis: where each layer helps and where each one bites.
Observability Architecture
Logs, metrics, and traces as one control plane. OpenTelemetry signals, W3C trace context, cardinality rules, SLI/SLO burn alerts, and redaction at emit time.
Event and Queue Architecture
At-least-once delivery, the transactional outbox, consumer idempotency, poison messages, CloudEvents envelopes, and lag as a first-class SLO.
HTTP API Architecture
RFC 9110 methods, status classes, idempotency keys, problem details, versioning, cursor pagination, and the Cache-Control rules that make a public API.
DNS and TLS Architecture
Recursive resolution, DNSSEC, DoT/DoH, the TLS 1.3 handshake, certificate automation, and the failure modes that take production down while every pod stays green.
AI Agent Runtime Architecture
ReAct at the protocol level, client vs server tools, four memory layers, ToolLoopAgent vs HarnessAgent, loop control, guardrails, and real cost.
CI/CD Pipeline Architecture with GitHub Actions
Event triggers, workflow orchestration, runner infrastructure, secrets management, and advanced deployment patterns for production CI/CD pipelines.
