Design Rivers Studios

Hey everyone & thanks so much for the opportunity!

I'm the founder of Design Rivers Studios, where I'm building mobile apps and experimenting with new ideas as an indie developer.

I'm almost done with my first Android app, Torchly, a simple and modern flashlight app. I'm learning a lot along the way about Android development, product design, testing, and getting an app ready for launch.

I'm joining DEV to connect with other developers, share what I'm building, learn from the community, and hopefully document some of the journey along the way.

Looking forward to meeting everyone and discovering what you're all working on!

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm a former auditor who caught the coding bug and made the full jump into dev, funny enough, spreadsheets and stack traces have more in common than I expected 😅. These days I split my time between backend dev (Java, Spring Boot, Quarkus) and frontend (Angular, TypeScript), with a soft spot for BI and functional analysis too.

Right now I'm building Touria, a tourism analytics platform, in collab with Calyps and on the side I'm teaching myself Rust, dipping into AI, and poking at cybersecurity basics (send help, or send resources 🙏).

I'm also on the hunt for my next role as a developer, ideally in Canada/Québec or French-speaking Europe. Excited to be part of this community, feel free to say hi, especially if you're also a career-switcher!

Hi! How's Rust been treating you? Did you have a hard time with understanding its concepts, given your other programming background?

Hi! It’s completely new to me and quite different from Java. Luckily, I enjoy learning new things! I’ve also noticed that the applications built with Rust are really fast and lightweight.

Hi everyone!

I’m the founder of Wizlix Technologies, and we’re building an AI-first company and platform powered by AI and reviewed by humans.

I believe this is the right community to get honest feedback from engineers who understand performance, scalability and optimization.

We’re building Flozari.com, and I’d love for engineers here to take a look at what we’re working on and share your thoughts.

What could we improve?
What would you optimize?
Are there any performance or technical areas you think we should focus on?

We’re completely open to feedback, good or bad and would genuinely love to learn from your experience.

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to review it and share feedback!

This is a really interesting use case. I took a look at Flozari, and one area I’d be curious about is how the automation pipeline handles scaling when there’s a sudden spike in comments, DMs, or webhook events.

I’d especially be interested in how you handle Meta API rate limits, retries/duplicate events, and queueing for high-volume interactions. I also think the balance between deterministic workflows and AI-generated responses is an interesting optimization problem — using predefined responses where possible while reserving AI for interactions that actually need contextual reasoning could help with both latency and inference costs.

I’ll keep exploring the platform, but those are some of the areas I’d be looking at first. Great work so far!

That makes a lot of sense. I particularly like the approach of keeping deterministic flows separate from AI-driven interactions rather than putting an LLM in the middle of every request.

One thing I'm curious about is how you handle queued events when they become stale. For example, if several comments or interactions come in during a spike and get queued, do you have any prioritization or expiration strategy so that an outdated interaction doesn't get processed after the context has already changed?

I'd be interested to hear how you approached that trade-off between reliability, latency, and maintaining the right conversation context.

Hey everyone! 👋
I'm Alisson, an Systems Analysis and Development student. I have practical experience in industrial process automation (SAP GUI Scripting & Excel VBA) and data intelligence with Power BI.
I'm currently transitioning careers and joined the community to share knowledge about software development, read tech articles, and accelerate my studies in Python and SQL.
Fun fact: I really enjoy using automation to eliminate repetitive manual tasks on the shop floor!

Great to connect with you all! 🚀

Bem-vindo, Alisson! VBA e SAP GUI Scripting eu conheço de perto, ainda mexo com Visual Basic num ERP legado. É subestimado, mas resolve muito problema de automação com pouco código. A passagem de automação de planilha pra pipeline de dados costuma ser bem natural, boa sorte nos estudos de Python/SQL.

Hey everyone 👋

Full honesty: I'm not a backend engineer. I run a social-media marketing API
platform on the business side, so I see integration problems way more than I
write the code for them. Resellers plug into our API and the same issues keep
coming up — double orders from timeouts, stale catalogues, partial deliveries.
I've been writing those up (with AI's help, disclosed on the posts) to share
what actually trips people up in practice.

Here to learn the engineering side properly from people who live in it.
Happy to be here!

Hello everyone! 👋

I'm a backend engineer and a long-time Java developer.

Recently, I've been spending more time digging into things like concurrency, I/O, performance, and some of the unexpected problems that appear in real systems.

I joined DEV to share some of those experiences, learn from other developers, and hopefully have some interesting discussions along the way.

Nice to meet you all!
