Why I Ditched Babel for SWC—And Made My Builds 400x Faster

Leave a reply

As a backend developer, I’ve always prioritized efficiency in my workflow. But when my JavaScript builds started taking over 91 seconds (91,241ms) with Babel, I knew something had to change. Enter SWC (Speedy Web Compiler)—a Rust-based alternative to Babel that completely transformed my development experience.

My build time dropped from 91,241ms to just 216.21ms. That’s a 400x speedup! 🚀

Why Babel Started Slowing Me Down

Babel is an incredible tool, but its reliance on JavaScript-based transpilation makes it slower as projects scale. My app, weighing 196MB, was becoming a bottleneck in my CI/CD pipeline. The long build times were frustrating, leading to:
✅ Slower iteration cycles
✅ Longer deployment times
✅ Increased resource usage

SWC: A Game-Changer for Build Performance

These tests were conducted on a real production app, making the results even more significant. SWC, written in Rust, is built for speed.

Here’s how my build stats changed:

How to Generate Embeddings Using OpenAI

Leave a reply

Introduction

Embeddings are numerical representations of text, images, or other data types that capture semantic meaning. OpenAI provides powerful embedding models that can be used for applications such as search, clustering, recommendation systems, and more. In this article, we will explore how to generate embeddings using OpenAI’s API and implement them in a real-world use case.

What Are Embeddings?

Embeddings transform words, sentences, or documents into fixed-length vector representations in a high-dimensional space. These representations help in tasks such as:

  • Semantic search – Finding similar documents based on meaning.
  • Clustering – Grouping similar content together.
  • Recommendation systems – Suggesting relevant items.
  • Text classification – Categorizing text automatically.

Automate generation of _id for array elements in MongoDB

Leave a reply

The great MongoDB doesn’t generate _id for array elements automatically unless it’s schema is defined separately. The below is the example to define a separate schema for the subdocuments.

const arrayElementSchema = new mongoose.Schema({...});

const mainDocument = new mongoose.Schema({
  children: [arrayElementSchema]
})

With the above Schema, MongoDB will generate _id for every element you insert into the “children” array.

Having _id for array elements makes it easy to find, delete and update the same. Otherwise, they have to be found by the index which will not be the same as always.
