Documenting High-Performance Systems Architecture
StackByNB is a premier engineering publication dedicated to systems programming, cloud infrastructure, network protocols, kernel observability, and modern web architecture.
Core Engineering Pillars
The foundational principles that guide every article, benchmark, and open source repository published on StackByNB.
Systems Restraint
Avoiding unnecessary abstractions and framework bloat. We prioritize clean, minimal contracts over ephemeral hype.
Kernel-Level Depth
Tracing performance directly to the physical limits of hardware, network interfaces, storage queues, and eBPF probes.
Zero-Trust Security
Defensive architecture by default. Cryptographic identity, memory safety, least-privilege containers, and hardened networks.
Production Blueprints
Verifiable, real-world engineering code. Every article and project includes tested playbooks and runnable configurations.
Technical Domains We Cover
Our content archives are organized into 8 specialized domain hubs.
Why StackByNB Exists
In a modern tech ecosystem dominated by superficial tutorials and ephemeral library upgrades, software engineers often struggle to find clear, rigorous documentation on underlying computer systems.
StackByNB was created to bridge this gap. We focus on low-level mechanics: how the Linux kernel schedules threads under EEVDF, how eBPF inspects packets without leaving kernel space, how zero-trust service meshes establish identity with SPIRE, and how modern web platforms achieve instant execution.
“Craftsmanship is not about doing extra work; it is about paying attention to details that are already there.”
All research, diagrams, and benchmarks are open for the engineering community to study, implement, and critique.
