Logosofia no Dia a Dia · May 14, 2026 · 37m

HTTP redirects are infrastructure plumbing most developers ignore until a migration goes wrong. This episode unpacks the full 300-series status code family: when to use 301 vs 308 for permanent moves, why 303 prevents double pizza orders, and why 302 is legacy cruft you should stop using. Then we tackle the tactical question of where redirect logic should live — at the Cloudflare edge or on your origin server — and what happens with search engine indexation when you get it right.
