Two patterns of physical table design follow naturally: the AB-BC-AC triangle and the ABC+D star pattern, both of which are fully normalized and do not require 5NF ...

Troubleshooting Email Delivery to Microsoft Users

Microsoft temporarily blocked our emails to Hotmail, Live, MSN, and Outlook users due to a rate limit, but it was later resolved after we implemented a Redis-backed throttler to control our sending rate. The issue was likely caused by a spike in email traffic from our IPs, which Microsoft's algorithms flagged as suspicious, and we are considering warming up an IP solely for transactional ...
