Strong on core backend, but the role leans on distributed systems and container orchestration your resume does not yet show.

Projects

Stand out with the right projects

For the gaps you can’t paper over, we suggest impressive, role-specific projects — grounded in what actually gets people hired there — so you have something real to build and show.

Projects to make you stand out

A weekend each. Pick one, learn the concept, earn the bullet.

What you'll learn

At-least-once delivery and idempotency keys

A queue that guarantees at-least-once delivery will hand you the same message twice — on a retry, a rebalance, or a crash between work and acknowledgement. The consumer, not the broker, has to make the duplicate harmless. You do that by deriving a stable key from the message and recording it before the side effect, so the second delivery finds the key already present and skips the work.

Consume a stream where every message may arrive twice, and make sure the side effect happens exactly once.

The bullet this earns

Built an idempotent Kafka consumer in Go using transactional dedupe keys, verified against deliberate duplicate replay.

GoKafkaPostgreSQL
  • Dedupe keys written in the same transaction as the side effect
  • Deliberate duplicate replay to prove it holds

Why it impresses: The posting names exactly-once processing. This is the mechanism behind it, built small enough to explain end to end at interview.
