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 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!

Babade • • Edited

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.

Read your indexing post. Diagnosing the redirect loop, then spinning up a fresh blog and finding the exact same structure on every healthy Blogspot - that five-minute check is worth more than the other 80 posts.

I hit the same wall from the engagement side. For a while an agent of mine posted daily curated content to my channels. Flat zero, while the pieces written from my own work did all the numbers. Its job is distribution now, not writing.

One question about the rebuild: if the pipeline only writes what actually happened, who does it happen to?

what actually trips people up in practice.

Hey everyone 😀 Nice to meet you all!

Our team specializes in cloud cost optimization. We offer a simple solution that can significantly reduce a business's cloud infrastructure costs.

Our platform automatically shuts down unused Dev and Stage environments and allows engineers to rent virtual machines on demand - directly from Slack, Telegram, or the web. Instead of running infrastructure all the time, teams simply spin up what they need, when they need it.

The result: up to 60% lower cloud costs, happier DevOps teams, and infrastructure that finally behaves like a resource - not a fixed expense.

It's very simple and smart! Give it a try 🙄

Привет, Dev.to community!

I'm Alexey, an economist, trader, and algo-trader with a deep passion for the intersection of quantitative finance, blockchain, and autonomous systems.

I'm currently pursuing my Master's at Petrozavodsk State University (PetrSU), Faculty of Economics. My research is focused on the "Evolution of the Investment Profile of Cryptocurrencies: An Empirical Analysis of Structural Shifts and Market Institutionalization."

Simply put — I study the moment when crypto stopped being "casino" and started behaving like a mature asset class.
And more importantly, I build systems that allow this new asset class to be managed by AI agents without losing control.

I believe that within 5-10 years, AI agents will manage a significant portion of small and medium-sized business operations — from trading portfolios to routine business processes. But there's a huge problem:

People are afraid to let AI act autonomously.

That's exactly why I founded AF Labs.

We are building a trust layer for autonomous agents. Our stack is:

Lumen — on-chain intelligence (whales, scams, liquidity data).

Regula — pre-execution deal validation (market regime, position sizing, drawdown).

Palisade — a protective guardrail layer with kill-switch, limits, and audit logging.

It's a system that allows agents to act, while humans stay in control.

On Dev.to, I plan to write about the engineering and economics of AI agents:

How we build real-time validation systems for autonomous trading.

How structural shifts in crypto markets affect algorithm logic.

How to design "guardrails" that actually work (not just theory, but code and tests).

My empirical research on crypto market institutionalization.

I'm not here to sell. I'm here to learn, share, and build in public.

If you're building something with AI agents — whether it's a trading bot, an automation tool, or just curious about agent safety — I'd love to connect.

Check out our demo on the website (link in bio) or just drop a comment below.

Let's build systems, not predictions.

Hello everyone!

I’m Mayank. I’m currently in the fifth semester of my bachelor’s degree in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at IIIT Naya Raipur.

I mostly build backend and AI systems, and lately I’ve been getting deeper into polyglot distributed systems and AIOps. I enjoy understanding how different parts of a system work together, why certain architectural decisions are made, and what happens when we try to move AI systems beyond a prototype and into something reliable.

I joined DEV because I want to start documenting what I build and, more importantly, what I learn while building it, especially the decisions, mistakes, experiments, and things that actually worked.

I’m currently working on projects around AI systems, distributed infrastructure, and edge AI, and I’m hoping to write about them here as I continue building.

I’m also actively looking for internship opportunities where I can work on backend, AI infrastructure, distributed systems, or AIOps-related problems and learn from engineers building these systems in the real world.

Looking forward to connecting with everyone and seeing what you’re building?

Hey DEV community!

I'm Sandeep (@sandeep_kahawatta), a full-stack engineer and co-founder based in Colombo, Sri Lanka. 🇱🇰

My path into tech was a bit unconventional—I spent time in the corporate world as a marketing specialist and home loans adviser at Seylan Bank before making the full leap into software engineering back in 2022. I'm currently finishing up my Software Engineering degree at SLIIT.

These days, I spend most of my time building scalable platforms (MERN, Next.js, NestJS, Laravel) and occasionally going deep into the academic side with Graph Neural Networks for urban traffic optimization.

I joined DEV to start "building in public" and sharing the messy reality of engineering. My first few posts will be deep dives into:

  • Building a bid-based ride-hailing database schema with Prisma & PostgreSQL.
  • Structuring a modular e-commerce API using NestJS.
  • Designing a developer portfolio that looks like a vintage newspaper (CSS Grid was fun for this one!) - this is already published (dev.to/sandeep_kahawatta/how-i-bui...)

Really excited to connect with other builders, founders, and anyone who loves talking system architecture. What is everyone else currently building?

Ei, eu sou o Vinícius.
Estou começando minha jornada na área de tecnologia e atualmente estou estudando Gestão da Tecnologia da Informação.

Tenho estudado lógica de programação, algoritmos e Python, buscando entender cada vez melhor como a programação funciona na prática.

Ainda estou no começo e tenho muito a aprender, mas decidi começar a compartilhar minha evolução por aqui.

Pretendo usar o DEV.to para registrar o que estou aprendendo, compartilhar algumas descobertas e, futuramente, mostrar meus projetos.

Se você também está começando na programação, vamos evoluir juntos!

Hey!👋

I built A2Z Edit (a2zedit.com) to make everyday file work simpler — without jumping between a dozen different websites.

You can edit and convert images, work with PDFs, extract text with OCR, generate QR codes, create links, and more, all from one place.

The goal is simple: fast, useful tools without unnecessary complexity.

I’d love to hear what you think — which tool would you use first, and what should I add next? 🚀

Hello everyone! 👋

Happy to finally join the DEV community!

Background: DevOps & infrastructure engineering (Linux, cloud architectures, CI/CD).

Current project: Volunteering IT work for an international NGO/missions team in Southeast Asia, building resilient and ethical digital systems.

What I write about: The intersection of software craftsmanship, open source, ethics, and using technology for global good.

Excited to share insights, read your stories, and join the discussions! Feel free to say hi! ☕

As engineers, we often write code that outlives our time on a team. I wrote this piece reflecting on how clean architectures and open-source generosity are fundamentally acts of care for the next developer in line.

I'm curious: What’s one standard or practice your engineering team adopted that made the biggest difference in daily developer trust? Drop your thoughts below! 👇

Hi everyone! 👋 I'm Rob from Germany, developer with a soft spot for tools that just work without ceremony.

I recently took on a fun mission: reviving Uniform Server, a classic portable WAMP stack for Windows that hadn't been updated since 2023 but still gets downloaded ~100 times a day. My fork (UniServer Reload) brings current PHP versions, working HTTPS and finally fixes a 20-year-old mystery bug where only one virtual host ever worked. Writing about that bug hunt is actually what brought me here. 🙂

I’m a senior software engineer with about eight years of experience building full-stack and backend applications. Most recently, I worked at Evite, where I developed mobile-first features, Twilio-based SMS invitations, and Node.js services running on GCP.

Before that, I worked in gaming, HR technology, and logistics, building REST APIs, microservices, and real-time applications with Java, Spring Boot, Node.js, React, AWS, and SQL and NoSQL databases. I enjoy staying hands-on, working through complex problems, and building reliable products that make a real difference for users.

Glad to be here!

Hey Dev.to community! 👋
I'm a Web3 developer and indie maker. Recently, I got frustrated seeing friends lose funds to crypto wallet drainers because standard security tools just throw confusing hex codes at users.
So, I spent the last few weeks building SafeSign Visualizer - an open-source Chrome extension that intercepts malicious transactions before MetaMask opens. Instead of technical jargon, it uses a "Time-Travel UI" to show users exactly how a scam will drain their wallet if they click "Sign".
I'm here to share my build logs, learn from other developers, and discuss React, Plasmo, and Web3 security architecture.
Excited to be part of the community and read what everyone else is building!

Felipe Oñoro •

Hi everyone, Felipe here, writing from Costa Rica.

I've spent 20+ years managing IT departments — the kind of work where you're the one who gets called when it breaks. That does something to your taste: you stop being impressed by clever and start being impressed by things still working in year six with nobody touching them.

As a lifelong programmer, nights and weekends I build web apps alone on a VPS I administer myself. The current one is a bookmark manager, on a stack that gets me strange looks: vanilla JS with no build step, PostgREST straight in front of Postgres, logic in SQL functions.

Every layer I add is one I'll be debugging at 11pm in three years, alone.

Glad to be here.

Hi everyone. I'm Fabian, from Germany, mostly a homelab and automation person using Proxmox, Ansible and managing too many containers. This year I've been building web scrapers for public data sources (Google's Ads Transparency Center, app store charts, YouTube) and I've started writing up what the data actually says, because it keeps contradicting what I assumed.

Happy to trade notes with anyone doing scraping at small scale, or fighting rate limits from a home IP. Also here to read: the RAG and self-hosting posts are what pulled me in.

Ownware •

Hey everyone! I run a small one-person software shop building self-hosted business apps — plain PHP, no build step, the kind of software you install once on a $5 host and own forever.

The thing I'm most nerd-sniped by lately: making business software operable by AI agents. Every app I ship carries an MCP endpoint with scoped read-only keys, and a few weeks ago I watched a buyer's own AI agent crawl my store, read the legal pages and security.txt, and effectively vet me before the human paid. Felt like meeting the future's purchasing department.

I've written a couple of posts here about what a read-only MCP key can and can't do to an app — happy to swap notes with anyone wiring agents into their own products.

Outside of code: music production and an ever-growing homelab. Glad to be here!
