Not generic tutorials, practical engineering perspective from building and evolving SaaS, ecommerce and business software in production.
Ecommerce · SaaS architecture
Lessons from years of engineering order, payment and fulfillment workflows in Shoprocket, a multi-tenant Laravel ecommerce SaaS serving thousands of merchant stores.
Performance · Production engineering
Production work on ufile.io: resumable chunked uploads, MySQL indexing and query fixes, and shipping changes on a file platform already serving millions of users.
Competitions · Trust · Payments
Backend notes from Basecomp on closing entry pools, verifiable winner selection, Stripe under spike traffic, and audit history operators can actually use.
Modernization · Laravel
What it took to move Shoprocket from CodeIgniter to Laravel while merchants kept selling, the embed kept working, and years of commerce workflows stayed intact.
Payments · Webhooks
How we kept Shoprocket payment records correct across Stripe, PayPal, PayU and crypto when webhooks arrived late, duplicated or out of order.
SaaS architecture · Laravel
Tenant scoping lessons from Shoprocket and Basecomp: resolving store or operator context on HTTP, queue jobs and payment callbacks before anything writes to the database.
