How I build things.
A typical app I ship, and what I've actually done in each box. Hover a node.
BrowserReactNext.jsRedux
Redux state shared across three interfaces at Alphawizz; SSR and route-level code splitting on the main Next.js app at DigiFlex.
API GatewayExpressNest
Correlation ID minted here and carried through HTTP and NATS headers in eventbus-services. Zod on every boundary.
User ServiceNodeTSPrisma
Registers users, writes to Postgres via Prisma, publishes user.registered to JetStream. Never calls the notification service.
PostgreSQLPrisma
One database per service in eventbus-services. Currently reading about its internals.
Booking ServiceExpressMongoose
MovieBook: showtime and seat-layout APIs, JWT auth, mock payment that converts a lock into a booking in one step.
MongoDBMongoose
Bookings, shows and users in MovieBook; documents and sessions in ResumeX; survey rows in program-intel.
Redislocks / TTL
Seat locks with TTL in MovieBook: SET lock:show:seat session NX PX 12000. Released on payment timeout.
NATS JetStreamdurable consumersacks
USER_EVENTS stream. Explicit acks, redelivery on consumer death, idempotency key checked before any side effect.
Notification ServiceNodeTS
Consumes user.registered, records the idempotency key in the same transaction as the side effect, retries with back-off.
DLQdead letters
After three failed deliveries a message lands here instead of looping forever. Inspectable, replayable.

About
Building things nobody asked for. Yet.
The tagline is only half a joke. Most of what's on my GitHub started because I wanted something to exist and nobody was going to build it for me.
I build web apps end to end, mostly in TypeScript: React or Next.js on the front, Node and Express behind it, Postgres or Mongo underneath, Redis when something needs to be fast or locked, NATS when two services should not know about each other.
The part I like is when a vague requirement turns into a thing that runs. I care less about which framework wins.
