# Daily Comparison #31: Algorithms for Rate Limiting - Choosing the Right Strategy

Welcome back to Daily Comparison! Today, we're diving into a critical component of building resilient and secure web services: **rate limiting**. Rate limiting is the process of controlling the number of requests a client can make to a server within a given time window. It protects APIs from abuse, DDoS attacks, and ensures fair resource distribution. We'll explore and compare five of the most common algorithms used to implement this.

Daily Comparison #30: Handling 1000 Concurrent Requests - NodeJs vs Others

Series: Daily Comparison

Welcome to the Daily Comparison! Today, we're tackling a critical challenge in system design: how different architectural choices and technology stacks handle a sudden surge of **1000 concurrent requests**. We'll analyze a traditional Node.js (Express/NestJS) monolith and then explore the behavioral shifts, architectural considerations, and optimization strategies when moving to a microservices pattern and introducing polyglot languages like .NET, Java, or Go.

Daily Depth #8: Angular's DOM Update Strategy

Series: Daily Depth

Welcome back to Daily Depth! Today, we're diving deep into **Angular's core strategy for efficiently updating the Document Object Model (DOM)**. Unlike frameworks that rely on a Virtual DOM for diffing (like React or Vue), Angular takes a unique and highly optimized approach, leveraging a powerful combination of change detection, a rendering abstraction, and Ahead-of-Time (AOT) compilation to precisely update the UI. This intricate dance ensures your applications are performant and responsive, minimizing costly browser reflows and repaints.

Daily Comparison #29: The Build Tool Battle - Webpack vs. Vite vs. Turbopack

Series: Daily Comparison

Welcome to the Daily Comparison! Today, we're diving into the heart of modern frontend development by comparing three prominent build tools/bundlers that play a critical role in how our web applications are developed and deployed: **Webpack**, **Vite**, and the newcomer, **Turbopack**. Each of these tools aims to solve similar problems – bundling modules, transforming code, optimizing assets – but they approach these challenges with vastly different philosophies, impacting development experience and build performance.

Daily Depth #6: JavaScript's Execution Phases - From Code to Action

Series: Daily Depth

Welcome back to Daily Depth! Today, we're embarking on a fascinating journey to understand what truly happens behind the scenes when your JavaScript code runs. We'll break down the intricate multi-phase process that the JavaScript engine (like V8 in Chrome or SpiderMonkey in Firefox) goes through to transform your `.js` files into executable instructions.

Daily Comparison #28: Memory Management - Stack vs. Heap

Series: Daily Comparison

Welcome back to the Daily Comparison! Today, we're diving into a fundamental computer science concept that's crucial for understanding how programs manage data: the **Stack** and the **Heap**. These are two distinct regions of memory used by a running program, each with its own characteristics and implications for performance and design.

Daily Depth #5 "Pointers" and Memory in JavaScript

Series: Daily Depth

While JavaScript doesn't have "pointers" in the same way languages like C or C++ do, understanding how it handles references and manages memory is crucial for writing efficient and robust code. Let's demystify this concept, from the basic analogy to the deeper engine internals.
