Show Notes

What an incredible privilege it was to speak with Igor Miniailo for the return of Smash The Bug! He has looked at Adobe Commerce from more angles than most of us can even imagine, so it was a tremendous honor to hear about some of the bugs Igor and his team have encountered and smashed recently! In part one of this discussion, Igor and Joseph share similar experiences on the challenges of replicating issues in order to fix them.

Show Intro

1:28
Who is Igor Miniailo? A day in the life of the Chief Architect for Adobe Commerce

2:52
Scaling up to 300,000 orders per hour from 1,800 just a couple years ago for one merchant. Identifying and correcting bottlenecks on the database.

5:53
Temporary tables for search functionality. When designing the commerce search functionality, they decided to make it agnostic to the possible search options.

12:41
When you don’t know the full conditions where the bug is present, it can be challenging to replicate the issue and then fix it. Joseph shares a similar recent challenge; some problems can take so long to get to the solution, and the solution turns out to be easier than expected.

18:39
Modularity. 'Why' is more important than 'how' in many situations– sometimes the solution doesn’t seem like the best option, but there is usually a good reason behind these decisions.

22:46
Making it community contribution-based, and the benefit and success of doing so.
