Most ORMs give you one way to query. Drizzle gives you two.
The ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐น๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ is explicit. You describe exactly what SQL you want. It offers full control, but you end up writing manual joins every time related data is needed.
The ๐ค๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ is declarative. You define relations once and then just say what you want back. Drizzle figures out the SQL for you.

Starting a new project - Blogify, a blog platform built on Hono + Cloudflare Workers.
Before writing any code, I designed the full database schema. Every table has a reason.

๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฎ of migrating my Express + Render API to Hono + Cloudflare Workers.
Part 1 was about implementing AES-256-GCM encryption using the Web Crypto API.
This one is about routers/routing in Honojs.

Do you really think queues are just FIFO all the time?
If so, youโre missing half the story.

Most of us write fmt.Println("Hello World") or printf("Hello World") ,and assume magic happens. But under the hood, thereโs a fascinating "Game of Thrones" happening between your compiler, the OS, and the Kernel.

After weeks of focused development, Iโve built a great backend system for a notice board application โ designed to handle real-world complexity, not just CRUD.

Today isn't just a holiday; itโs the official launch of ๐๐ต๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐บ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ต on NPM!
I wanted to give a gift to my fellow developers that actually saves them time.

Itโs not just a package; itโs a ๐๐๐ (๐๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ ๐๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฒ). Think of it as a professional architect that walks into your folder and builds a ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฑ๐๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป-๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ ๐ฎ๐๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป system in seconds.

As a #BackendDev, I got tired of creating the same controllers, models, and routes every time I started a new project.
So, I built a tool to do it for me. Because that's what engineers do ;)

When I started backend development, I assumed
microservices = advanced = always better.
While working on a microservices-based project, I realized something important:

Over the past few weeks, I built Merchant Hub API, a production-ready backend for merchant and order management. This project pushed me to think beyond writing code โ about architecture, scalability, security, and maintainability.
