Queue systems are underrated architecture tools.
Async jobs + retries + dead-letter queues solve more real-world problems than adding another microservice.

Infra tip: if you can’t recreate your entire backend from scratch using IaC in under 30 minutes, you don’t own your infrastructure — it owns you.

Most backend bottlenecks aren’t CPU-bound.
They’re I/O-bound: DB calls, external APIs, AI services.
Optimizing concurrency and reducing round-trips often beats “faster hardware.”
