Building Backends That Age Well
Designing systems that remain understandable, operable, and ready to change after years of growth.
Abhishek Guha
I build scalable backend platforms, write about system design and AI engineering, and spend my spare time learning physics and running long distances.
Currently Exploring
- AI engineering and RAG systems
- Event-driven architectures
- Distributed systems internals
- Database replication and consensus
- Endurance running
- Physics for curious engineers
Featured Writing
What I Think About
Distributed Systems
Reliability, scalability, messaging, consistency, and observability.
AI Engineering
RAG systems, evaluation, agent architectures, and production AI.
Physics
The principles that govern the world and the mental models they provide.
Endurance
Running, training cycles, discipline, and long-term adaptation.
