Kamran Ahmed ee4b7305a2 Adds ByteByteGo guides and links (#106)
This PR adds all the guides from [Visual
Guides](https://bytebytego.com/guides/) section on bytebytego to the
repository with proper links.

- [x] Markdown files for guides and categories are placed inside
`data/guides` and `data/categories`
- [x] Guide links in readme are auto-generated using
`scripts/readme.ts`. Everytime you run the script `npm run
update-readme`, it reads the categories and guides from the above
mentioned folders, generate production links for guides and categories
and populate the table of content in the readme. This ensures that any
future guides and categories will automatically get added to the readme.
- [x] Sorting inside the readme matches the actual category and guides
sorting on production

Below is a diagram showing the evolution of architecture and processes since the 1980s.
![Cloud Native](https://assets.bytebytego.com/diagrams/0413-what-is-cloud-native.png)
Organizations can build and run scalable applications on public, private, and hybrid clouds using cloud native technologies.
This means the applications are designed to leverage cloud features, so they are resilient to load and easy to scale.
Cloud native includes 4 aspects:
* **Development process**
This has progressed from waterfall to agile to DevOps.
* **Application Architecture**
The architecture has gone from monolithic to microservices. Each service is designed to be small, and adaptive to the limited resources in cloud containers.
* **Deployment & packaging**
The applications used to be deployed on physical servers. Then around 2000, the applications that were not sensitive to latency were usually deployed on virtual servers. With cloud native applications, they are packaged into docker images and deployed in containers.
* **Application infrastructure**
The applications are massively deployed on cloud infrastructure instead of self-hosted servers.
