Hello, World! 👋

Welcome to A Dev Writes. I’m Laxman Sharma, and this is my corner of the internet dedicated to the craft of software engineering.

Why This Blog?

In our fast-paced industry, we often copy-paste solutions without deeply understanding them. My goal here is different: to slow down and dissect the “why” and “how” of complex systems.

What You Can Expect

I write about the problems I’ve faced in production and the patterns I’ve learned to solve them. Key topics include:

Distributed Systems: Microservices patterns, consistency models, and resilience.
Observability: Going beyond logs to true system visibility (check out my OpenTelemetry series).
Engineering Culture: Building high-performing teams and pragmatic processes.
Java & Spring: Deep dives into the ecosystem I work with daily.

Join the Conversation

This isn’t just a broadcast channel. I want to learn from you too. Connect with me on LinkedIn, GitHub, or check out my profile on Toptal.

Detailed, technical, and practical. That’s the promise.

Grab a coffee ☕ and let’s build something great.

P.S. To get started, check out my deep dive into OpenTelemetry Fundamentals.
