This repo introduces you to ShredX and is used for tracking the future & past events :sailboat:

Welcome to SharedX ⛵

ShredX is an organisation for promoting Open Source Development among developers. It also helps you to come together from different backgrounds and collaborate together to learn something new.

Meet | Collaborate | Network | Grow

Why ShredX 🔰

ShredX is unique because it focuses on the following:

• Express your interest to the people (like REDIS, React, Js, GoLang, Erlang)
• Other people with the same interest can join you
• Find a place & collaborate together
• Small number of people (limited to 5)
• Build small POCs, Small Basic version of complex apps Like facebook, youtube, blog, editor etc
• Showcase (push) it to ShredX organisation
• Extra perks
  • Lean more about both Git & GitHub by collaboration like branches, conflicts, pull requests, rebase, writing good commits
  • Code reviews of projects & unit tests ¹
  • CI/CD ²

Get Started 🚦

• Open an issue with any topic/technology from your bucket list
  • Please follow the issue_template³ and go through this issue before writing one
• Alternatively you can vote for other open issues as well
• Get together with people who share same interest

Gotchas ⚠️

• Say an issue with REDIS got 10 votes then,

  • Two Teams containing 5 members each will be formed
  • Let the names be like Team A & Team B
  • We can have either 2 sessions, one with each team on different days
  • Run in parallel with both the teams in the same day

• Your topic did not grab any atention

  • Well good idea is to wait till it manage to get people
  • If it's more than 20 days, we will merge it with other such topics

• Weekends are itself very tiny
• Team size is also very tiny (mininum 2 to maximun of 5)

Notes 📝

REDIS - 0 to 1

Redis

Learn Redis. Redis is a popular tech used as a

• cache for the key-value store
• message broker
• database
  Having hands-on on this topic is good.

Overview

• Spend some time learning Redis
• Create a small set of applications to discover different use case of Redis.
  • A dummy application to mock data for the e-commerce platform. Through this application, we can feed in data. Call it a data publisher. It will push platform metrics data into Redis cache. Then will pass the message through Redis about the data changes
  • Another application that uses Redis cache to store and keeps a real-time track of the platform metrics(call it data subscriber). This web application will retrieve the platform metrics information on-demand from Redis cache. It will use web sockets for active connection with its client. It subscribes to the data changes published by the data publisher. If data change, ti will push the new metric information to the client.

Takeaways

• Redis Overview
• Redis key-value cache store
• Master/slave replication in Redis
• Redis as a message broker
• A little hands-on Docker

Proposal for Service Discovery in Microservices

Service Discovery using REDIS

When you run Microservices on a set of ec2 instances rather than using ECS or EKS or GKE. There has to be a way for the service discovery. But to understand this concept better I would like to create my own service discovery based on REDIS. This will be easier for us to cover within a single day since we already have services written in go and nodesJS during the first episode.

Overview

The platform will consist of the following

• Service Discovery server
• Service Discovery Client for Nodejs and Go

Takeaways

• Hands-on experience on how service discovery works
• Hands-on experience on how microservices resolve the addresses of other services
• How heartbeat works
• How ping works

Advanced MongoDB

Advanced MongoDB

This episode will cover a few advanced topics like indexing and performance. Also a few Database Admin topics like Replica Set and Sharding

Overview

The process I am planning to follow:

• We'll pick up any MongoDB project
• Setup a cluster on MongoDB Atlas
• Query performance measurements and optimizations
• Creating Replica Sets and Shards
• Final Cluster deployment and load testing

Takeaways

• You'll no more be a noob in MongoDB
• You will be able to set up your own MongoDB cluster and scale it

Notes

• Come in only if you know about MongoDB
• You have created a few DB designs using MongoDB
• You know Node.js/Golang

Date

• Probably 1st week of May

Location

• TBD

Graph QL + React.js

Simple E-Commerce platform using GraphQL at the backend and React.js at the frontend

Idea is to get hands-on on building a platform in react.js for frontend developers and Golang/Node.js/Python. It is an opportunity to get familiarized with GraphQL for both of the camps. It will enable the devs of multiple fraternities to come together and build something cool and tangible.

Overview

The platform can is divided into three parts.

• CMS frontend - React.js
• Storefront frontend - React.js
• Backend for CMS and Storefront - Golang / Node.js / Python

Takeaways

• You will get hands-on on working for cross-functional teams.
• Get code experience solving the various problems like user management, caching, etc.
• Building scalable API
• Intro to GraphQL
• Hands-on NGINX, Docker for packaging the application
