Anonymized engineering notes

We publish only material that can be described without identifying parties or making unverified outcome claims: context, constraint, architecture decision, and tradeoff.

engineering topics

Recurring engineering problem classes

AI search, geodata, and registries need the same discipline: normalized data, clear permissions, verifiable sources, and observable operations.

AI · SEARCH

Corporate knowledge and verifiable answers

Search across complex documents with cited evidence, controlled corpora, permissions, model cost, and answer quality.

corpus · search · sources · permissions

GEODATA

Maps and territorial analytics

Maps as operational tools: layers, data provenance, object search, territorial comparison, and reliable mobile use.

layers · search · geospatial analysis · mobile access

CATALOGUES

Registries and selection systems

Catalogues and registries with normalized data, deadlines, sources, filters, and controlled updates.

data model · filters · deadlines · sources

anonymized reviews

Three engineering decision scenarios

Each note records the original constraint, selected architecture, and accepted tradeoffs. Parties, outcomes, and metrics are not disclosed.

ПЛАТЕЖИ

Payments: service boundaries and resilience

How to establish service ownership, plan a safe migration, and make controlled changes to a critical system.

ДАННЫЕ

Sensitive-data service: access and audit logs

What to decide when access roles, audit logs, data quality, and interface resilience matter.

КАТАЛОГ

Catalogue: search, cache, and operations

How to separate search, caching, queues, and observability so changes remain controlled.

engineering journal

Engineering journal on decisions and cost

The journal includes articles on AI cost, monoliths, TypeScript, RAG, Kubernetes, and PostgreSQL under load.

ИИ

How to reduce language-model costs

Routing, caching, batching, and verifiable economic impact.

API

When a monolith is better than microservices

When a monolith is cheaper, faster, and more reliable than microservices.
