A lot of software architects expend time and energy trying to come up with ways to avoid lock-in. Sadly many of these discussions miss important elements of how lock-in works - it's certainly not a simple binary switch. Gregor Hohpe , who's probably spend more time in such meetings that he'd like to admit, has written what I think will be an essential article on the topic.

The growing complexity of today’s IT reality is indisputable: Software is becoming more complex, and the infrastructure it runs on is equally so. This complexity comes, in part, from adding layers upon layers to the infrastructure we manage—from bare metal servers to VMs to containers to function-based computing—and from how quickly we cycle in new […].

Many organizations today are unlocking the power of their data by using graph databases to feed downstream analytics, enahance visualizations, and more. Yet, when different graph nodes represent the same entity, graphs get messy. Watch this essential video with Senzing CEO Jeff Jonas on how adding entity resolution to a graph database condenses network graphs to improve analytics and save your analysts time.

Business automation only makes sense, when you think about it. Every application exists to deliver business logic. But many developers still struggle with workflows and rule engines. How can developers increase their productivity and effectiveness on business logic delivery in cloud environments? Is it possible to create applications that use a precise and clear language to implement maintainable business workflows and business rules?

Who relies on your data? Oh, yeah. Everyone. Introduction. We have discussed anti-patterns before on DZone, where we outlined eight major anti-patterns we find in Agile. As a recap, an anti-pattern is a commonly-occurring approach to a problem or task that generates decidedly negative consequences. Examples of anti-patterns in the software development might be spaghetti code (code that becomes unmaintainable and difficult to extend); or duplicate code (code that has been cut and paste and now mu

In software development, we often find ourselves struggling with estimations and ever-changing scenarios. This causes delays in delivery or an increase in the overall cost. Fortunately, there are many best practices we can implement to help mitigate these problems. In this post, I will outline ways I have learned to avoid delays in early iterations of development when building Agile teams.

Here's what your quality assurance could look like in a few easy steps. After spending a lot of time, effort, and dedication in brainstorming and meticulous work, your app is ready for release. Your dedication and hard works prove that your app is one of a kind, with none to rival it. But the reality is something else; you know that very well. Your developed app stands with millions of other apps about to released while you are releasing yours.

"Quality test data = beautiful dashboards" Getting Your Test Data Right. If you are a tester or a developer, you most likely work in some manner or another with test data on a daily basis. Many of us take for granted that test data is just there to be used and that any data is good data. What has been learned the hard way over time is that not all test data is created equal.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

Intro As most of you know, Couchbase is a database that provides users with a range of consistency and fault tolerance options to ensure that the state of their data meets certain criteria or guarantees. Users can specify varying levels of replication, persistence, replicas, sever groups, etc to guarantee that their data is durable, consistent, and correct under certain failure scenarios and cluster operations.

We know that Apache Kafka ® is great when you’re dealing with streams, allowing you to conveniently look at streams as tables. Stream processing engines like KSQL furthermore give you the ability to manipulate all of this fluently. But what about when the relationships between items dominate your application? For example, in a social network, understanding the network means we need to look at the friend relationships between people.

Multi-tenant architecture allows software vendors to realize tremendous efficiencies by maintaining a single application stack instead of separate database instances while meeting data privacy needs. When you use a data warehouse to power your multi-tenant analytics, the proper approach is vital. Multi-tenant analytics is NOT the primary use case with traditional data warehouses, causing data security challenges.

Whether you release on-demand or according to a regular schedule, being able to visualize how many sprints it will take provides instant feedback so you can explore a range of schedule, scope, and staffing alternatives. Couple this with the ability to leverage project data - size, cost, schedule, and team performance - and you give your IT planning and decision-making processes a massive upgrade.

“What is edge computing?” This question is becoming more and more relevant. The explosion of data-generating endpoints (IoT) and data-hungry user services (video entertainment, intelligent consumer services, etc.) has reversed the centralized intelligence trend, and prompted a shift toward distributed intelligence. Transmitting all the data to public cloud or centralized data center is no longer the norm.

In this tutorial we will be discussing about Python global variables. A variable which is declared outside of any function i.e. in the global space is known as global variable. Global variables are useful when multiple functions need to use the same data. In C, C++ we can use and modify global variables directly in local functions and if we declare a local variable with the same name of global variable then it shadows the global variable but this is not the case in Python.

If one were to put things into perspective, Search Engine Optimisation or SEO, was always there since the advent of the Internet; just not in a way and scale as it is today. You cannot think of a business venture that still puts its faith in medieval methods of marketing and branding.

Before we get into the attack scenario, let’s understand how Kubernetes intra-node networking works.
