A space for experimenting with emerging standards, architectures, and engineering concepts.
Here, ideas are tested through working software: assumptions are challenged, tradeoffs are made explicit, and learning matters more than convention.
Use the concept guidelines to place experiments by engineering question. New experiments should also follow the experiment README guideline so their intent, execution, and verification remain useful to both humans and agents.
| Experiment | Purpose |
|---|---|
| API client CLI / TMDB + Cobra | Explore a typed API client behind a Cobra command interface. |
API wrapper / cached weather + net/http |
Wrap a weather API with Redis caching and per-IP rate limiting. |
| Application scaffolding / Express Generator | Record the conventional routers, views, middleware, and error boundaries generated for Express. |
| Batch processing / generic jobs with GoBatch | Preserve a parked reader-processor-writer and partitioning proof of concept. |
| Batch processing / Spring Batch log aggregation | Import CSV log records through a chunk-oriented batch job. |
| Content management / Markdown notes with SQLite | Persist notes behind a repository boundary with a framework-free client. |
| Database sharding / order service with Spring and ShardingSphere | Route orders across two MySQL databases by order ID parity. |
| Declarative desktop UI / Qt Quick + PySide6 | Compare a QML view with a minimal Python bootstrap. |
| Event-driven desktop UI / Qt Widgets + PySide6 | Demonstrate widget composition and signal-slot interaction. |
| HTTP QUERY / Node.js + Fastify | Explore body-bearing HTTP QUERY requests with Fastify. |
| In-memory storage / HTTP key-value store | Expose a concurrent map through HTTP with Prometheus instrumentation. |
| Numeric precision / money with decimal libraries | Compare floating-point pitfalls with rational and decimal representations. |
| REST API / DNF history with FastAPI | Parse local DNF transaction history through an asynchronous HTTP endpoint. |
| REST API / routing CRUD with Chi | Explore resource-oriented routing while proxying CRUD requests. |
| REST API / TODO service with Express and Sequelize | Separate routing, controllers, and PostgreSQL persistence in a small task service. |
| Web framework basics / Express Hello World | Demonstrate the minimum Express route and server lifecycle. |
| Web framework basics / FastAPI request validation | Demonstrate typed path, query, and body validation with FastAPI and Pydantic. |
