If you’re new here, this page is the fastest way to understand what I build and how I think. It groups my long-form posts into focused clusters. (Tech Radar lives separately at /radar/.)

Read these in order for a coherent end-to-end view:
- Moving from Magento to Microservices - a zero-downtime migration playbook (Strangler Fig, CDC, rollback).
- Deconstructing the Ecosystem: Service Details by Domain - splitting a monolith into bounded contexts and domains.
- Blueprint of a 21-Service E-commerce Edge: Architecture & Traffic Flow - high-level architecture and request/event flow.
- Architecting a 21-Service E-commerce Ecosystem with Golang & DDD - Kratos + Clean Architecture, sagas, idempotency, race conditions.
- GitOps at Scale: Orchestrating 21 Microservices with Kubernetes & ArgoCD - how to deploy and operate many services safely.
Cluster 1 - Commerce Modernization (Magento -> Microservices)
Battle-tested patterns for migrating a revenue-critical commerce monolith without downtime:
- Why You Should Migrate from Magento to Microservices (And When You Shouldn’t)
- Moving from Magento to Microservices
- Exporting Magento 2 Orders: Bypassing the EAV Model with Clean SQL & Node.js
Cluster 2 - Microservices Architecture (21-service blueprint)
How a composable commerce platform is structured and why the boundaries matter:
- Deconstructing the Ecosystem: Service Details by Domain
- Blueprint of a 21-Service E-commerce Edge: Architecture & Traffic Flow
- Architecting a 21-Service E-commerce Ecosystem with Golang & DDD
Cluster 3 - Event-driven Reliability (Dapr, Sagas, Idempotency)
The “hard parts” of distributed commerce: failure, retries, consistency, and never losing events:
- Mastering Event-Driven Architecture with Dapr Pub/Sub
- Architecting a 21-Service E-commerce Ecosystem with Golang & DDD (Saga + idempotency sections)
Cluster 4 - Platform Operations (GitOps, Kubernetes)
How to make 20+ services boring to ship: repeatable deployments, rollbacks, and operational discipline:
Cluster 5 - AI Systems (real pipelines and product thinking)
How I build agentic systems and autonomous pipelines with production constraints:
- Architecting an Autonomous Hybrid-AI Pipeline: From Hobby Cron to Production State-Machine
- LeaseInVietnam: Building an AI-Powered Expat Relocation Hub with a B2B Lead Engine
Cluster 6 - Hiring / Team Capability (Vietnam)
How to evaluate real Magento and platform capability beyond theme work:
- Magento Development in Vietnam: Cost, Capability, and When It Actually Fits
- Magento Developers in Vietnam: What to Look For Beyond Theme Work
Cluster 7 - Planet-scale Case Study (Alipay Double 11)
A structured research series on planet-scale throughput, reliability, and operations:
