Now that the dust has settled from
@buffer.com
Community launch, Iโm starting a mini-series on the engineering work behind the data ingestion and processing pipelines. Itโs more of a journal than a guide. Sharing what we built, why we chose certain paths, and what surprised us ๐

We've been going through some photos from when we first moved into our house and stumbled upon my home office setup from 2018. It took me about ~1.5 year to paint the room, lay the floor and buy a desk. And still I prefer coding from the couch, sitting in some weird position. ๐

Way back I decided to list both my formal name and my calling name on LinkedIn.โจ Why? Because outside of Greece, almost nobody knows that Dinos is just the short version of Konstantinos (in Greek, โNTโ sounds like โDโ).

Building real-time integrations with social media platforms feels like trying to drink from a waterfall๐ฐ Iโve spent over 10 years working with data ingestion pipelines and third-party integrations. Itโs not the only thing I do, and Iโm far from an expert, but itโs an area I keep coming back to.
