Learn about SOLID principles and how they influence design patterns, understand various Gang of Four patterns, and delve into architectural metapatterns for effective software design. 162 1 2. 2 [](https://daily.dev/posts/ssh-llm-honeypot-caught-a-real-threat-actor-qnivdlatg "SSH LLM Honeypot caught a real threat actor") Article ITNEXT·1y SSH LLM Honeypot caught a real threat actor A detailed guide on how an SSH LLM honeypot successfully trapped a real threat actor who downloaded and attempted to execute malicious binaries. The honeypot, Beelzebub, was configured with an OpenAI key and analyzed the actions of the attacker, including their attempts to connect the server to a botnet via a Perl script. The post also includes steps to configure and run the honeypot using Docker, and discusses the information gathered from the threat actor's activities, as well as actions taken to mitigate the threat. 78 1 3. 3 [](https://daily.dev/posts/from-0-to-10k-how-open-saas-became-the-free-boilerplate-devs-love-odt5v4s37 "From 0 to 10K ⭐: How Open SaaS became the Free Boilerplate Devs Love") Article ITNEXT·1y From 0 to 10K ⭐: How Open SaaS became the Free Boilerplate Devs Love Open SaaS is a popular, free, open-source SaaS starter kit that streamlines development by offering essential features like authentication, payments, and file uploads without relying heavily on paid services. Built on the Wasp framework, it aids quick and efficient application launch, focusing on the business logic rather than boilerplate code. With over 10,000 GitHub stars, Open SaaS projects empower developers to build profitable businesses rapidly and are well-suited for AI-assisted development. 75 1 4. 4 [](https://daily.dev/posts/choose-your-own-architecture-mani217kw "Choose your own architecture") Article ITNEXT·1y Choose your own architecture Choosing the right software architecture depends on several factors, such as project size, domain features, team structure, and non-functional requirements like performance and fault tolerance. Different projects may require different architectural styles, including monolithic, layered, services, SOA, and more. It's essential to understand the domain characteristics and tailor the architecture to meet specific needs efficiently. 64 5. 5 [](https://daily.dev/posts/comparing-error-handling-in-zig-and-go-zhkq0rgbe "Comparing error handling in Zig and Go") Article ITNEXT·1y Comparing error handling in Zig and Go Explores the error handling mechanisms of Zig and Go, highlighting their treatment of errors as values. Zig uses specialized enums with concise syntax involving 'try' and 'catch', while Go leverages interfaces for rich contextual error descriptions. The piece discusses the benefits and drawbacks of each approach, noting Zig's concise feature set versus Go's simplicity and verbosity. 48 2 6. 6 [](https://daily.dev/posts/go-arctest-simplifying-architecture-testing-in-go-projects-t3giphhqg "Go ArcTest: Simplifying Architecture Testing in Go Projects") Article ITNEXT·1y Go ArcTest: Simplifying Architecture Testing in Go Projects Go ArcTest simplifies architecture testing in Go projects by allowing developers to define and enforce architectural rules through code. It helps maintain clean architecture, prevents technical debt, and supports layered architectures with package dependency analysis, interface implementation validation, and method parameter type checking. It aids in early detection of architectural drift and improves codebase maintainability. 22 7. 7 [](https://daily.dev/posts/multi-mcp-exposing-multiple-mcp-servers-as-one-r9cw3vxme "Multi-MCP: Exposing Multiple MCP Servers as One") Article ITNEXT·1y Multi-MCP: Exposing Multiple MCP Servers as One Multi-MCP is a dynamic MCP proxy server that allows the management of multiple MCP servers as a single entity. It supports both STDIO and SSE transports, enabling easy scaling, dynamic tool extensibility, and simplified deployment in environments such as Kubernetes. Multi-MCP also provides runtime support for adding or removing MCP servers, offering a unified interface to multiple backends while ensuring flexibility and scalability. 22 [See all ITNEXT archives](/sources/itnext/best-of) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/itnext/best-of/2025/04#page","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/itnext/best-of/2025/04","name":"Best ITNEXT Posts — April 2025","description":"The most upvoted ITNEXT posts from April 2025, curated by the daily.dev community.","isPartOf":{"@type":"WebSite","url":"https://daily.dev"}},{"@type":"ItemList","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/itnext/best-of/2025/04#items","numberOfItems":7,"itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/the-heart-of-architecture-deconstructing-patterns-ygcc6pzev","name":"The heart of architecture: deconstructing patterns"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/ssh-llm-honeypot-caught-a-real-threat-actor-qnivdlatg","name":"SSH LLM Honeypot caught a real threat actor"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/from-0-to-10k-how-open-saas-became-the-free-boilerplate-devs-love-odt5v4s37","name":"From 0 to 10K ⭐: How Open SaaS became the Free Boilerplate Devs Love"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/choose-your-own-architecture-mani217kw","name":"Choose your own architecture"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/comparing-error-handling-in-zig-and-go-zhkq0rgbe","name":"Comparing error handling in Zig and Go"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":6,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/go-arctest-simplifying-architecture-testing-in-go-projects-t3giphhqg","name":"Go ArcTest: Simplifying Architecture Testing in Go Projects"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":7,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/multi-mcp-exposing-multiple-mcp-servers-as-one-r9cw3vxme","name":"Multi-MCP: Exposing Multiple MCP Servers as One"}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Sources","item":"https://daily.dev/sources"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"ITNEXT","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/itnext"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"Best of","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/itnext/best-of"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"name":"April 2025"}]}]} ```
