Lightning Talks: Best practices in Backend Development

on YouTube ↗04m

" summary

Recommends picking a language for its runtime and community: use Python for cloud and an interpreted ecosystem for fast iteration, prefer a compiled language for enterprise, legacy or security-heavy systems. For storage choose ACID MySQL when consistency matters, or embrace the CAP tradeoffs and use NoSQL for horizontal scale — MongoDB, Cassandra, Neo4j as examples. Follow iterative agile with automated tests, avoid premature optimization and refactoring, use code review or pair programming, and learn to say no and estimate true effort.
