The Essential List of Spring Boot Annotations and Their Use Cases

The Spring framework is a robust server-side framework for modern Java-based enterprise applications. Since its introduction in 2003, its advantages have made it one of the most dominant server-side frameworks among many organizations.

How to parse body text into Elastic App Search during data ingestion

Elastic App Search allows developers to bring the power of Elasticsearch to mobile apps in a pretuned search experience. When parsing body text, the App Search crawler extracts all the content from the specified website and spreads it in fields depending on the HTML tags it finds. Text within title tags are assumed as title field, anchor tags are parsed as links, and body is parsed as one giant field with everything else.

What Is TBD? Trunk-Based Development & Its Role in CI/CD

In software development, the name of the game is to develop reliable systems in a fast-paced manner. As development shops have evolved to increase the speed of delivery, many organizations have embraced the Agile development practices of continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD). But the very nature of fast-paced development introduces challenges — particularly around the quality and the reliability of the software being developed.

Everything You Need to Know About Deployment Environments

It's common practice that development environments for the same product are kept the same (or at least compatible) for smooth software development life cycle (SDLC) workflow. That brings the question, why do we need more than one environment for the same product. In today’s modern software development, it is crucial for product development teams to maintain an effective and rapid workflow if they want to gain a competitive edge in the product market.

Monitor CockroachDB performance metrics with Datadog

CockroachDB is a highly resilient distributed SQL database developed by Cockroach Labs. CockroachDB assures ACID semantics and aims to make it easy to scale horizontally by adding nodes instead of manually sharding the database. Built to be resilient (much like its namesake insect) and highly available as it scales, CockroachDB readily recovers from node failures by repairing and rebalancing automatically.

How to Spot the Effects of Alert Fatigue

Imagine being part of an overactive group chat that causes your phone to buzz every few minutes.
