Stackbook
A platform dedicated to architectural thinking, system design, and real-world software architecture — focused on decisions, trade-offs, and long-term impact.
Stackbook documents how architects reason about systems, translate theory into practice, and design software that survives scale, failure, and time.
Architectural Thinking
How architects reason, decide, and trade off.
- How Senior Architects Actually Think
- Why Most System Design Diagrams Lie
- Trade-offs Are the Design
- Architecture Debt vs Code Debt
System Architectures
Designing real systems under real constraints.
- Designing a Distributed Rate Limiter
- Multi-Tenant SaaS Architecture
- Event-Driven Systems: Failure First
- Search System Architecture
Research → Reality
Translating research into production insight.
- CAP Theorem in Modern Cloud Systems
- Consensus Algorithms Beyond the Paper
- Vector Databases: Hype vs Reality
- LLM Infrastructure in Practice
Stackbook treats software architecture as a discipline — not a checklist. It focuses on reasoning, failure modes, operational reality, and the long-term consequences of design decisions.
