// posts/too-many-engineering-blogs-so-i-built-my-own-aggregator.md

Lately, I’ve been getting into a habit of reading how teams at Uber, Netflix, Cloudflare, Microsoft, etc. design systems, scale infra, and solve hard engineering problems — mostly through their engineering blogs. But there was a problem: - Too many blogs - Too many tabs - Not enough time to read everything end-to-end What I really wanted was: “Give me the key ideas from all these posts in one place, and let me search across them.” So over a weekend, I built it. Enggist – Engineering, as a gist. ⚙️✨ 🔗 Link: https://lnkd.in/d7aeaDTF 💻 GitHub: https://lnkd.in/digECe8N - Fetches posts from a curated list of engineering RSS feeds - Stores them in a database - Runs a daily cron to summarize + categorize each post using AI (2.5 Flash, with guardrails) - Extracts key highlights + tags - Minimal frontend with fuzzy search Under the hood: - Cloudflare Workers for cron + ingestion + processing - Two cron jobs: one to fetch, one to summarize - Vercel for hosting and deploying 💰 Infra cost so far: ₹0 This didn’t start as a “learning project”. It started as: “I keep running into this problem. Let me build something that makes my own life easier.” The funny part is: once you commit to solving a real problem, the stack, the tools, the patterns… they quietly fall into place. Sometimes you don’t need a big plan. You just need a small pain, a free time, and the willingness to ship. 🚀😊
