I was learning about gRPC and was quite fascinated by it's capabilities. By looking at it's Server-side streaming RPC, I immediately thought about it's use as a Message Broker. Hence, I built a toy message broker! This article talks about my learnings and how I built Kaho-aur-Suno in Go.

In this article, I'm trying to explain how to build a Load Balancer from scratch using just C programming language and no other 3rd party libraries at all. I'll be using various techniques here including UNIX socket programming, multi-threading, thread pools and safety, data structures and containerizing. I'll try my best to explain all the concepts!

Let's say you're building a product which is spread across multiple micro-services. Generally the notion of micro-services is to develop independently, still there might be some parts of code which you'll tend to use in different micro-services as it is.

As studied in our physic classes, refractive index is generally a positive value. However, can this theory be turned upside down to view materials from another point of view? That’s the story of Metamaterials!

Computing speed is defined by two factors: Firstly, how fast data can be transferred, and secondly how fast can data be processed. So, everything depends on the speed of electricity. But photons have a higher bandwidth than electrons. That’s the reason why optical fibre is a faster medium of data transmission. But what about computation?
