Working with Couchbase for the past year and a half has been more than just learning a database. It has been an exercise in system thinking: seeing how indexes, queries, consistency, and durability interact, and how small design choices ripple through performance and reliability. This essay is my personal notebook from that journey. It is technically dense because Couchbase demands precision, but it is also reflective because the lessons extend beyond one database. Understanding how array indexes multiply entries, why compound index order matters, or how query consistency flags change latency is not just about Couchbase, it is about learning to think in terms of systems, trade‑offs, and consequences.

Bitmasking is one of those computer science tricks that feels like wizardry, until you realize it’s just some clever shifting and binary math. This blog explores the idea, shows how we use it in Go, and why it's surprisingly useful when working with databases like Couchbase.

When working with Docker, persistent data is often stored in volumes. Unlike container filesystems, volumes survive restarts and recreations. But what if you need to move this data from one machine to another? Here's a quick and reliable way to back up a Docker volume on one computer and restore it on another.

Understanding different types of software testing is crucial for delivering a reliable application. Smoke Testing checks basic stability after a new build, while Sanity Testing verifies specific bug fixes or minor updates. Functional Testing ensures that features work as expected based on business requirements. Regression Testing prevents new changes from breaking existing functionality. End-to-End (E2E) Testing simulates real-world user workflows, and Performance Testing checks system speed, load handling capacity, and responsiveness. Implementing these (some or all) test types helps maintain software quality and prevent critical failures.

In Go, method receivers determine whether a method acts on a copy of a value or a reference to it. This choice isn’t just about performance—it affects correctness and behavior, especially when dealing with synchronization primitives (mutex, wait group, etc), slices, and embedded types.

In engineering, progress is key. However, sometimes teams get stuck in endless discussions, over-planning, and constant changes, delaying actual work. This situation is called “Analysis Paralysis.” It happens when people focus too much on making perfect decisions instead of moving forward with practical solutions.

When it comes to writing clean, maintainable code, there are a few fundamental rules that can help improve the overall structure and quality of your codebase. As engineers, our goal should be to keep things simple, clear, and scalable. With this in mind, here are some guidelines which prioritize code readability, functional clarity, and the overall maintainability of a project. These guidelines are based on principles from clean code, SOLID, and functional programming while emphasizing simplicity over unnecessary complexity.
