Piezīmes no SrcTeam — Laravel, Vue, Go, privātums un caurspīdīga izstrāde.
A dispute freezes the money and starts a countdown, whether or not you did anything wrong. How chargebacks actually work on Stripe, what evidence wins, and the prevention that keeps the rate low.
lasīt vairāk →Slow query in hand, most teams guess at a fix: add an index, cache it, buy RAM. Postgres already wrote down the answer. How to run and read EXPLAIN ANALYZE, and what to look for in the output.
lasīt vairāk →Every PHP worker, queue worker, and cron job opens its own database connection. Where those slots go, when PgBouncer earns its place, and the session features that break in transaction pooling mode.
lasīt vairāk →An append-only table grows forever, and DELETE doesn't shrink it. When range partitioning is worth the setup cost, why DROP beats DELETE for retention, and the Laravel-side plumbing that keeps the partitions coming.
lasīt vairāk →A dashboard that sums a year of rows on every load will feel slow no matter how you cache it. How to compute aggregates ahead of time with summary tables and Postgres materialized views, and the threshold where reporting outgrows a single database.
lasīt vairāk →Every project ends up storing data whose shape you don't control - provider payloads, settings, audit diffs. Where a JSON column earns its place in a Laravel app, the rules that keep it from rotting, and the point where you extract it back into real columns.
lasīt vairāk →Octane boots a Laravel app once and keeps workers warm, which removes framework boot time from every request. Where that speedup actually lands, the bug class long-running workers introduce, and why most apps should still measure before switching.
lasīt vairāk →Most 'near me' features are a distance sort over a few thousand points. How to build it with plain lat/lng columns, a bounding box, and one index, and the point where PostGIS starts earning its install.
lasīt vairāk →Dashboards, progress bars, and notification badges only need the server to push. Server-Sent Events do that over plain HTTP, with reconnects built in, and often remove the extra real-time server from your architecture.
lasīt vairāk →The primary key is the cheapest decision on day one and the most expensive one to reverse. What auto-increment integers leak, what UUIDs cost, and the hybrid that avoids the tradeoff entirely.
lasīt vairāk →Support keeps needing to log into a user's account, and 'ask for the password' is not a policy. How to build impersonation into a web app so the support workflow works, the session is unmistakable, the audit trail is honest, and the feature doesn't become the softest backdoor in the codebase.
lasīt vairāk →SQLite handles more real web workloads than its toy reputation suggests, and fails in specific, predictable ways. When the single-file database is the right answer, where it stops working, and the setup that keeps locking and backups from surprising you.
lasīt vairāk →A fresh server gets SSH login attempts within the first hour online. The checklist we run on every new VPS: user accounts and keys, a firewall, automatic security updates, and a log baseline, before any application code goes on it.
lasīt vairāk →A 50,000-row dataset freezes a Vue app long before the database complains. Practical patterns for big lists and tables: server-side pagination first, virtualization where it's actually justified, and reactivity habits that keep rendering cheap.
lasīt vairāk →Inertia trades an API layer for full page loads, which is exactly why its optimization patterns matter. How we use partial reloads, deferred props, and shared props to keep Laravel + Vue pages fast.
lasīt vairāk →You don't have to convert the whole app to get real value from TypeScript. How we adopt it incrementally in Vue projects: props and API payloads first, vue-tsc in CI, strictness turned up one dial at a time.
lasīt vairāk →The demo works in a notebook. Production AI features break on latency, cost, non-determinism and prompt injection. How to ship a feature that stays useful when the model misbehaves.
lasīt vairāk →A CSP that blocks nothing is not a policy. How to ship a real Content-Security-Policy with nonces in Laravel, keep Inertia and Vue working, and avoid the third-party script breakage that makes teams give up.
lasīt vairāk →An expired card should not cost you the customer. How to build dunning: retry schedules, a grace period you can explain to support, dunning email that gets opened, and rules for when access actually ends.
lasīt vairāk →You do not need a platform team to get reproducible servers. Where Ansible, Docker Compose and plain scripts each earn their place on a small team's stack, and where a full Kubernetes setup is wasted effort.
lasīt vairāk →Trial users leave in the first session when the app hands them an empty database and a nav menu. A practical guide to onboarding that ends with a real result instead of a tutorial tour.
lasīt vairāk →Every project attracts small extras after the scope is fixed. How a studio and a client can handle change requests so the project ships on time and nobody feels cheated.
lasīt vairāk →Most companies start with spreadsheets, and for a while that works. The signs a business has outgrown its sheets, and how to move to a proper web app without losing data or momentum.
lasīt vairāk →Developer gone, agency closed, or the contract ended: what a proper handover package contains, and the four checks that prove you can actually run the product without its author.
lasīt vairāk →Feature tests cover the PHP side, but half the bugs in a Vue or Inertia app only show up in a browser. How to add Playwright end-to-end tests to a small team's stack and keep them fast enough to actually run.
lasīt vairāk →Adding Sign in with Google or GitHub to a Laravel app looks like a weekend task. The OAuth callback is the easy part; account linking, unverified emails, and failure states are where accounts get lost.
lasīt vairāk →Debugging an outage is half the job; the other half is the conversation. What to say in the first message, how often to update, and why a fixed cadence beats a confident ETA.
lasīt vairāk →PDF generation looks like a library call and fails on fonts, page breaks, and numbers that moved after launch. How we build invoice and document generation in web apps so the output survives printing, email attachments, and accountants.
lasīt vairāk →Adding TOTP two-factor auth to an app with existing passwords: provisioning secrets, handling clock drift, recovery codes that actually work, and the login flow order that keeps 2FA from becoming a support burden.
lasīt vairāk →If a pricing tier says '5 monitors' or '10,000 events per month', something in the app has to count and something has to enforce. A practical guide to usage metering, quota checks, and overage behavior that users understand.
lasīt vairāk →Splitting a long form into steps helps only when the steps are real. How to break a wizard into stages, save progress so an abandoned step isn't lost work, and validate so the last page holds no surprises.
lasīt vairāk →Swap passwords for something people can actually use. How magic links and passkeys work in a Laravel app, the failure modes each one has, and why every passwordless flow still needs a recovery path.
lasīt vairāk →Contact forms get found by bots within days of launch, and a full CAPTCHA flow is rarely the right first response. The layers that stop most spam cheaply, and the point where a real challenge earns its cost.
lasīt vairāk →Round trips on client feedback dominate timelines more than development does. How to review a staging build so a bug report turns into a fix on the first try, and how to keep feedback from becoming scope creep.
lasīt vairāk →Not every slow, plugin-heavy WordPress site needs a rebuild, and not every rebuild pays off. How we decide whether to keep WordPress and maintain it, or move the site to a custom stack.
lasīt vairāk →Most handoff pain between designers and developers comes from missing context, not missing talent. What a handoff should contain beyond the link to the file, and how to run the review so questions surface before build starts.
lasīt vairāk →Tailwind is fast to write and easy to let sprawl. Where real projects break down, the three patterns that keep template code readable, and why the config file is where discipline pays off.
lasīt vairāk →A website that ships and then gets ignored quietly rots. What ongoing maintenance actually includes, what it usually costs in practice, and how to tell if your site is being cared for or just hosted.
lasīt vairāk →What a good local development setup buys you — parity with production, one-command onboarding, and data you can actually test against. How we standardize dev environments for Laravel, Vue, and Go projects.
lasīt vairāk →Composables are Vue's way of sharing stateful logic between components — when to extract one, what a good one looks like, and the patterns that turn a clean abstraction into everyone's headache.
lasīt vairāk →Design and development can be done in three weeks while a website waits two months for copy. Why clients go quiet on content, what studios do about it, and the workflow that actually unblocks a launch.
lasīt vairāk →We build our own site on Nuxt 3 with @nuxt/content, and it's the stack we reach for when a project is mostly content with app-like corners. Where it earns its keep, where the framework gets in the way, and what we'd check before committing to it.
lasīt vairāk →Search fails users before it fails technically: results without context, filters that contradict each other, zero-result pages that lead nowhere. How we design the search experience in web apps and SaaS products, and the queries to test before launch.
lasīt vairāk →The soft-delete flag looks like a one-line feature and then leaks into every query, report, and unique constraint. When keeping 'deleted' rows is the right call, when it quietly breaks things, and what to use instead.
lasīt vairāk →Imports are the mirror of exports: wrong encodings, semicolon dialects, duplicate rows, and money amounts a spreadsheet mangled. How we build a CSV import that either finishes clean or reports exactly which row failed, and never half-applies a file.
lasīt vairāk →Retries, double-clicks, and at-least-once delivery mean almost every operation in a web app eventually runs twice. What idempotency actually means, where each layer of the stack gets it from, and how to test for it.
lasīt vairāk →Rules your database can enforce so no code path, queue worker, or manual SQL edit can break them: foreign keys with real actions, CHECK constraints, unique and partial indexes, exclusion constraints.
lasīt vairāk →Why floats corrupt invoices, why minor units win, and how to handle currency conversions and rounding so the numbers your users see match the numbers in the database.
lasīt vairāk →The receiving side of webhooks: verifying signatures, handling duplicate and out-of-order deliveries, and why you should never do real work inside the webhook handler.
lasīt vairāk →When an exception fires in production, the difference between a log file nobody reads and a tracked issue is context. What a good error-tracking setup captures, how to keep it out of the noise, and what that means for the error page your users see.
lasīt vairāk →Most multi-user apps start with an is_admin flag and outgrow it within months. A practical guide to policies, role tables, per-workspace scoping, and the places permission checks leak.
lasīt vairāk →PHPStan and Larastan flag nullability traps, wrong argument order, and dead code without a test suite. How we set static analysis up in Laravel projects, ratchet the level up, and wire it into CI.
lasīt vairāk →How we build live dashboards, notifications, and status updates in Laravel apps: Reverb for WebSockets, broadcast events with tight payloads, and the Vue side that keeps a connection through proxies and mobile sleep.
lasīt vairāk →A practical approach to load testing a web app before launch: pick the right scenarios, run k6 against staging, read the numbers that matter, and decide what to fix versus what to leave alone.
lasīt vairāk →Certificates expire every 60-90 days, and expiry is the most preventable outage a web studio sees. How we set up Let's Encrypt on client VPSes so renewal happens by itself and breakage announces itself before it happens.
lasīt vairāk →Every SaaS ships two interfaces: the product your users see and the back office your team lives in. How to build the second without doubling the codebase or the regret.
lasīt vairāk →Commit the database change, publish the event, and one of the two can still fail. How the transactional outbox removes that gap, in Laravel, without extra infrastructure.
lasīt vairāk →Most logs fail at the worst moment because they were written as souvenirs instead of answers. A practical guide to structured logging, correlation ids, and deciding what deserves a log line.
lasīt vairāk →Both databases handle a typical SaaS workload fine, which makes the defaults matter more than the debates. Where each one actually earns its place, and the decision procedure we run for new projects.
lasīt vairāk →Overselling stock, double-charged invoices, balances that go negative: how concurrent requests corrupt data in quiet ways, and the Laravel and SQL tools that make concurrent writes safe.
lasīt vairāk →Pricing pages fail in predictable ways: plans that differ by numbers nobody tracks, upgrade paths that surprise customers, and downgrades that quietly break data. A practical guide to designing tiers that hold up.
lasīt vairāk →Every web app accumulates scheduled work: nightly reports, cleanup jobs, syncs with other systems. How to write cron-backed tasks that run exactly once, fail loudly, and survive a long weekend.
lasīt vairāk →Every project has credentials, and every project leaks a few along the way. Where secrets actually end up, how a leak differs from exposure, and what rotation looks like when it matters.
lasīt vairāk →A practical approach to updating dependencies in Laravel, Vue, and Go projects — why npm audit noise hides real problems, what to update weekly versus never on a schedule, and how to avoid the two failure modes: rot and churn.
lasīt vairāk →A practical guide to form validation in web apps — why client-side rules alone get bypassed, how server-side validation and error responses actually work in Laravel and Vue, and the mistakes that turn validation into user hostility.
lasīt vairāk →An activity trail answers the questions support tickets and disputes actually ask: who changed this record, when, and what it looked like before. How to build audit logging that holds up.
lasīt vairāk →Almost every web app leans on someone else's API — payments, email, maps, storage. How to integrate so a vendor's bad day becomes a slow feature, not your outage.
lasīt vairāk →What an estimate from a studio actually tells you — why the honest number is a range, what pushes a project past it, and the questions to ask before you compare two quotes.
lasīt vairāk →A step-by-step migration checklist for moving a production web app to a new VPS — DNS TTLs, database sync, the cutover window, and the rollback you prepare before you need it.
lasīt vairāk →Data exports look trivial until a customer opens one in Excel and the invoice total is a date. A practical guide to CSV that survives encoding, commas, localized parsing, huge row counts, and users who will re-import it.
lasīt vairāk →Why timestamps break for users in other timezones — wall-time written as UTC, offsets that don't know about DST, cron running in the server's zone. The rules we apply in Laravel, Vue, and Go projects.
lasīt vairāk →A lightweight code review setup for teams of two to five — what to review, what to check in review, how to keep PRs small, and why the goal is shared knowledge, not perfection.
lasīt vairāk →A practical guide to delivering outgoing webhooks from a SaaS product — signing payloads your users can actually verify, retrying failures with backoff, and giving customers visibility into what was delivered.
lasīt vairāk →A framework for choosing between off-the-shelf tools, SaaS subscriptions, and custom development — what custom software really costs to own, and the middle ground most businesses skip.
lasīt vairāk →A repeatable method for investigating bugs in production: stabilize first, reproduce second, find the change third. What to log, what to touch, and when to roll back instead of debugging.
lasīt vairāk →When to use session cookies, bearer tokens, or API keys in a web app or SaaS — and the mistakes that make each of them fail: CSRF, storage choices, rotation, and revocation.
lasīt vairāk →A practical GDPR walkthrough for web applications and SaaS — consent, data subject requests, processors, retention, and the parts developers own versus the parts legal owns.
lasīt vairāk →A practical accessibility guide for web apps and marketing sites — contrast, keyboard traps, form labels, alt text, and focus states. Most of it is fixing defaults, not building new features.
lasīt vairāk →A practical playbook for inheriting someone else's web project: what to read before touching code, how to map the risky paths, and why the first deploy should be deliberately boring.
lasīt vairāk →A practical guide to rate limiting web apps: where to put limits, which keys to count by, what a good 429 looks like, and why the goal is catching abuse, not blocking your power users.
lasīt vairāk →Why we start SaaS projects with a single well-structured Laravel app and the few boundaries worth keeping clean from day one, so a split is possible later without a rewrite.
lasīt vairāk →SPF, DKIM, DMARC, bounce handling, and the sending habits that decide whether password resets reach the inbox. A practical setup guide for web apps.
lasīt vairāk →File uploads look like a weekend feature and fail in production for predictable reasons — validation you can trust, where files actually live, serving them safely, and cleaning up after deletion.
lasīt vairāk →Why most deploy outages are schema changes, not code — the expand/contract pattern, locks that stall a busy table, and how to backfill a million rows without taking the app down.
lasīt vairāk →Feature flags are not just for big tech. How to add simple, safe flags to a Laravel or Go app with a config file or a database table — gradual rollouts, kill switches, and the discipline that keeps them working.
lasīt vairāk →The technical SEO checks we run before every launch — crawlability, rendering, metadata, redirects, and Core Web Vitals. Most of SEO is plumbing, and developers own the plumbing.
lasīt vairāk →A practical guide to REST API design — resource naming, versioning, pagination, error responses, and the mistakes that force clients into breaking changes later.
lasīt vairāk →A practical guide to self-hosting web apps on a VPS — the components we standardize on, what we put on the same box, and when we stop and move the workload instead.
lasīt vairāk →A practical guide to adding search to a web app — what PostgreSQL full-text search covers out of the box, when to reach for Meilisearch or Typesense, and the mistakes that make search feel broken.
lasīt vairāk →A practical guide to building subscription billing in Laravel — why webhooks are the source of truth, how to make handlers idempotent, and how to keep your own database in sync with the payment provider.
lasīt vairāk →How to choose between separate databases, schemas, and a shared schema with tenant scoping in Laravel — plus the places tenant isolation leaks in production and how to test for them.
lasīt vairāk →A practical guide to internationalizing a Laravel + Vue SaaS — locale routing, translation keys, plurals, dates and numbers, hreflang, and the pitfalls that only show up after launch.
lasīt vairāk →A practical guide to keeping database queries fast — the N+1 trap, indexes that help, and what to check before you blame the server. The habits we use in Laravel, Vue, and Go projects.
lasīt vairāk →A practical guide to running web apps in Docker — building small, immutable images, wiring health checks, keeping secrets out of the image, and knowing what not to containerize.
lasīt vairāk →A practical guide to backups for web apps — what to back up, how often, and why the restore test, not the backup job, is the thing that actually saves you.
lasīt vairāk →A practical guide to caching in web applications — where cache actually pays off, how to pick the right layer, and why cache invalidation is a design problem, not a bug.
lasīt vairāk →How we handle slow work in web apps — email, exports, webhooks, image processing. When to queue it, how to design jobs that don't fail twice, and why retries need a strategy, not a prayer.
lasīt vairāk →A practical guide to monitoring web applications — health checks, structured logs, metrics, and alerting. What to watch, what to ignore, and how to find out about problems before your customers do.
lasīt vairāk →How we approach automated testing in Laravel, Vue, and Go projects — what to test first, what to skip, and why tests are the cheapest insurance a codebase can buy.
lasīt vairāk →A practical security checklist for web applications — the vulnerabilities that actually get exploited, the fixes that matter, and what to check before you call a project done.
lasīt vairāk →What actually happens when you order a website from a studio — how the process works, what to prepare, how pricing is structured, and the red flags that signal trouble before you sign.
lasīt vairāk →A practical guide to making websites fast — where the time actually goes, what to fix first, and how we tune Core Web Vitals without chasing meaningless micro-optimizations.
lasīt vairāk →How SrcTeam turns a vague idea into a working SaaS MVP — the questions we ask first, how we slice features, and why scope is a budget, not a list.
lasīt vairāk →Our pragmatic deployment pipeline — GitHub Actions, a VPS, and boring releases. What we automate, what we keep manual, and why the best deploy is the one nobody notices.
lasīt vairāk →How we combine Laravel's backend maturity with Vue's reactivity to build full-stack web apps that are fast, maintainable, and ready for production.
lasīt vairāk →A case study in building cookieless, privacy-first analytics — what it means, why it matters, and how WebSpectra fits into a no-tracking product philosophy.
lasīt vairāk →Why Go is our go-to for high-load APIs and infrastructure tooling — concurrency, a single binary, and performance that scales without gymnastics.
