Long-form retrospectives, database forensics, and engineering notes on building resilient WordPress plugins and zero-cost serverless systems.
Attic audits your WordPress database for orphaned options, ghost cron events, stranded transients, and leftover tables — then quarantines them instead of dropping them, so nothing breaks.
How I used Cloudflare Workers, D1, and Cron Triggers to run a live NEPSE alert engine — Telegram bot, portfolio tracking, and a technical screener — with no servers to maintain and no monthly bill.

How the NEPSE Alert notification layer runs inside a stateless Cloudflare Worker — verifying Telegram webhooks with a secret token, keeping the response fast, and pushing alerts asynchronously.
