Binary Search Tree Implementation in JavaTech by Sunny Srinidhi - October 1, 2020October 1, 20200 We have already implemented a Binary Tree in Java a few weeks back, and this is the logical continuation of that. In this post, we’ll see how we can implement a Binary Search Tree (BST) in Java. This is very similar to binary tree, but there is one requirement that a binary tree has to fulfil to qualify as a binary search tree. Read more... “Binary Search Tree Implementation in Java”
Different ways of iterating on a HashMap in JavaTech by Sunny Srinidhi - August 7, 2020August 7, 20200 HashMap is one of those data structures that we use a lot in our code, almost on a daily basis. And there will be situations where we’d want to iterate on the keys in a HashMap. There are many ways in which we can do it, and in this post, I’ll talk about five such ways.

The art of load balancing – Part 2Tech by Sunny Srinidhi - July 27, 2020July 27, 20200 In the part 1 of the art of load balancing, we saw what a load balancer is, the various strategies of load balancing, and how you can easily get started with a load balancer on your local machine. In this part 2 of the series, we’ll briefly see how each strategy of load balancing works. Read more... “The art of load balancing – Part 2”
The art of load balancing – Part 1 (Understanding a load balancer)Tech by Sunny Srinidhi - June 3, 2020June 3, 20200 A load balancer becomes a very important component of your infrastructure as your system grows. As the traffic to your server increases, you’ll have to scale the server either vertically or horizontally. There’s nothing much you can do when you scale vertically, because the load your server can take is still limited by the hardware capability of the server.

Kinesis Data Streams vs. Kinesis Firehose Delivery StreamsData Science by Sunny Srinidhi - May 25, 2020May 25, 20200 I have talked about Kinesis before, and I'm sure you've been using Kinesis for longer than me. But according to what I've seen, not all teams or companies use all parts of Kinesis. And, there are four parts in Kinesis: Ingest and process streaming data with Kinesis streams - Kinesis Data StreamsDeliver streaming data with Kinesis Firehose delivery streams - Kinesis Firehose Delivery StreamsAnalyse streaming data with Kinesis analytics applications - Kinesis AnalyticsIngest and process media streams with Kinesis video streams - Kinesis Video Streams All these four parts offer something different. Well, the last two are definitely different than the first two. But it's the first two that I see a lot of people getting confused with. So I thought I'll
Why caching is important to improve your system’s performanceTech by Sunny Srinidhi - May 5, 2020December 18, 20210 Caching is nothing new, we’ve been caching stuff for ages now. We do that in our everyday lives as well. It would be wrong to say that caching is a very technical concept, it’s not. Usually, what we do in everyday life, as a part of common sense, will be implemented in the tech world. Read more... “Why caching is important to improve your system’s performance”
