About J. Calloway

I'm a software engineer based in New York. I build developer tools, deploy production systems, and write about what I learn along the way.

What I Write About

Comparisons here are built from published documentation, pricing pages and benchmarks, and each article says where its numbers come from. Where I run something myself, like the open-source Kraken trend bot, I publish the real results, losing weeks included.

• Developer tool comparisons — side-by-side breakdowns with real benchmarks
• Hosting and deployment — from serverless to self-hosted, what actually scales
• Security and privacy — tools and practices that protect your work
• AI and ML tooling — practical guides for developers integrating AI
• Databases — choosing the right data layer for your project

Why This Site Exists

Most "best of" lists hide how they were made. This site shows its sources, marks every partner link, and keeps a public start page with everything in one place.
