There can be confusion out there given the size of the JS ecosystem. The differences seem pretty trivial, as a lot of tools seem to work in both limited and expanded capacities. But knowing the original or primary intent of a tool like React.js (it’s a library), can make it easier to grasp how it works and with which other JS tools. But this is where the distinctions become important – understanding the role of a progressive framework like Nest.js and how we got here.
One of the COVID-related changes that seems unlikely to be reversed is the increase in remote work. Particularly in tech, many companies have done away with office requirements entirely. For startups, this will have a profound effect on the ways they will grow, hire, and build culture. For individuals, it will mean figuring out a new routine and approach to daily life.
API Observability isn’t exactly new, however it’s popularity has seen rapid growth in the past few years in terms of popularity. API Observability using open source is different from regular API monitoring, as it allows you to get deeper and extract more valuable insights. Although it takes a bit more effort to set up, once you’ve got an observability infrastructure running it can be immensely helpful not only in catching errors and making debugging easier, but also in finding areas that can be optimized.
A database is a critical piece of software for any organization. It stores data and allows users to access and modify it as needed. Many different databases are available, like AWS’ Amazon RDS or Microsoft’s Azure, so deciding which is suitable for your organization can be challenging. This article will discuss the different kinds of databases and help you choose the right database for your needs.

There are plenty of cloud-based software testing platforms that give you real test environments to test your website or apps against multiple browser/OS/device combinations. One such platform is Cross Browser Testing. Finding an alternative to Cross Browser Testing is finding a test lab that simply does it better. In today’s article, you’ll get to know about Testsigma alongside four other cross-browser testing alternatives that can meet your organization’s specific needs –
The role of app performance monitoring (APM) extends far beyond crash monitoring—it is an integral part of creating a top-notch user experience that keeps your users happy and coming back for more.
In this post I'll explain how data is distributed in realtime using WebSockets in a serverless application running in Azure. The context I'll be using is a multiplayer Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (ADnD) style game that is turn-based with realtime state updates. You'll learn.
The MissingResourceException is an unchecked exception in Java that occurs when a resource is missing. Since the MissingResourceException is thrown at runtime, it does not need to be declared in the throws clause of a method or constructor.
Cybersecurity research website CyberNews recently interviewed Countly’s CEO, Onur Alp Soner, discussing everything from Countly’s origins to the role of cybersecurity in product analytics and how this might shape digital products in the near future.
In the first part of this two-part series, we examined LiveView assigns in detail — demystifying assigns, looking at some key concepts, and debugging. Now, we'll turn our attention to three common mistakes that you might make with assigns and how to avoid them. Let's get started!
As the business world shifts towards an information economy, more companies are discovering the advantages of having a business intelligence (BI) solution for analytics. Embedded analytics software boosts an organization's main functionality by integrating BI tools and analytical capability directly into software applications, rather than as a separate third-party application. With dashboards and reporting available in the same software, operational efficiency, cost optimization and innovation is increased.
Pipeline management is vital to the go-to-market strategy of any B2B business. A healthy pipeline is the closest you can get to a guarantee that you’ll make your targets by the end of the sales cycle. As the SVP of Business Operations at ThoughtSpot, I’m responsible for putting actionable insights into the hands of our sales and marketing functions to drive predictable pipeline growth.
Usability testing is a proven and frequently used method for evaluating products. Businesses of all kinds test everything from physical products to online services and applications. Why is usability research so popular? Research shows that approximately 75% of the credibility of digital products, such as an app or website, stems from their design. Unless you create something usable, appealing and functional, your business could face a substantial loss of profit and clients. Essentially, usability testing helps businesses get highly accurate, actionable data that helps them improve the user experience.
Golang is a shortened form of the Go programming language. Golang is a reliable and popular alternative for writing APIs and developing web services since its entry into the technological market. After its introduction, it quickly became one of the best programming languages. In surveys, nearly 90% of all respondents indicated they would move on with Golang. By the way, this is for the upcoming round of projects. Golang has established itself as the best framework among all the web programming languages. Golang is known for its unique features and can also serve as a superior alternative. Therefore, it can be said that the existing Go language has its full ancestry in the developmental languages C and C++.
An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of rules and protocols that let software programs communicate with each other. It acts as an intermediary between different software or services. For example, when using a mobile app to book a hotel room, the API allows the app to communicate with the hotel’s booking system. While many REST API developers have their way of doing things, some factors in API development are generally considered essential. Calculate The Cost Of Developing APIs From Scratch Calculate yours!
From Amazon to eBay, Ecommerce is here to stay, not just for B2C businesses but for B2Bs.

If you are someone who is developing a web desktop or mobile application then you need to run tests to see if everything runs smoothly or not. Doing that with hundreds of manual tests can be exhausting and inaccurate, but because of automated testing software, it’s doable and very easy. However, even with automated tests, you may need advanced programming skills. Today, we’re looking at Katalon Studio and Selenium. Both of these software testing tools can create test scripts in several programming languages and can be made to have great analytics capabilities. Since choosing between these two tools can be tough, we are here with a detailed comparison of Katalon vs Selenium to make the decision easier for you!
Two paradigms dominate the modern software testing landscape, shift left and shift right. These are fueled primarily by the need to accelerate software delivery to keep pace with a more dynamic and demanding digital engagement landscape. Shift left moves testing workloads earlier in the SDLC, leveraging test automation and practices like behavior-driven development (BDD) to foster developer accountability and more comprehensive testing. Shift right moves testing workloads later in the SDLC, leveraging humans and automation to perform both end-to-end testing and to conduct production testing and in the wild testing with real users on real devices.
The key things to know about data integration in Ecommerce are: Selecting the right Ecommerce platform is a crucial decision for your online store.
