Federico has been writing backends for web applications since 2012 and is the co-founder and chef of alto;code. He wrote a post on GitHub named "How I write backends" that summarizes his process.

  • Redis as a primary data store
  • Reducing the number of layers in your software
  • How duplicating input validation makes code harder to understand
  • Integration tests over unit tests
  • Minimizing dependencies
  • Why you should never normalize alerts
