## Entries

- [Pure Functions](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/pure-functions.md): A technique for writing logic as functions whose result depends only on their arguments and which have no side effects.
- [Metaprogramming](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/metaprogramming.md): A technique for writing programs that generate or transform other programs, at compile time or at runtime.
- [Prompt Engineering](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/prompt-engineering.md): A technique for writing model instructions as versioned templates with fixed parameters and an evaluation for each change.
- [Horizontal Scaling](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/horizontal-scaling.md): A technique for adding capacity by running more stateless instances of a service behind a load balancer.
- [Vertical Scaling](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/vertical-scaling.md): A technique for adding capacity by giving one instance more CPU, memory or I/O.
- [Partitioning](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/partitioning.md): A technique for dividing data or work into independent partitions by a key, so each can be processed in parallel.
- [Parallelism](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/parallelism.md): A technique for running independent units of work at the same time on several cores or workers.
- [Big O Notation](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/big-o-notation.md): A method for classifying an algorithm by the upper bound on how its cost grows with input size, ignoring constant factors.
- [Profiling](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/profiling.md): A technique for measuring where a running program spends its time and memory under a representative workload.
- [Read Replica](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/read-replica.md): A technique for routing read queries to replicated copies of a database, so the primary handles only writes.
- [RAID Redundancy](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/raid-redundancy.md): A technique for spreading data across several disks with mirroring or parity, so the loss of a disk loses no data.
- [Canonicalization](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/canonicalization.md): A technique for converting equivalent values to one normal form before they are compared, stored or checked.
- [Normalization](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/normalization.md): A technique for storing each fact once and referring to it by key wherever it is needed.
- [Database Normalization](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/database-normalization.md): A technique for decomposing tables by their functional dependencies into normal forms, so no column depends on anything but its key.
- [Manual Identity Migration](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/manual-identity-migration.md): A technique for renaming files one container at a time by hand, re-pointing each pattern and comparing what each aggregator collects before and after.
