Avoid Writing a Lot of Try Catch by Catching The ‘catch()’ Just Once. How annoying it is to write a lot of try-catch for each async function in an express app? What if you never need to write a try catch block for all async functions and still be able to handle the errors?

You have many options when it comes to choosing a platform to deploy your app. In this article, we will compare AWS, Heroku, and Qoddi. Heroku is hosted on AWS, making Heroku, like Qovery for instance, nothing more than a management platform for AWS services. You can do everything you do on Heroku (or Qovery) directly with AWS for a lesser price but Heroku removes all the infrastructure management layer (or DevOps) you still need to have with AWS or any other cloud providers.

Dedicated hosts for macOS are now available on CircleCI. This new layer of support is built exclusively for macOS and offers Apple developers unprecedented storage, security, and scalability on CircleCI. By reserving a dedicated host, teams can unlock access to a bare metal instance that provides exclusive access to an entire host machine for 24 hours.

A zero-day exploit happens when hackers identify a software weakness or a security gap and take advantage of it to perform a cyberattack.

Developers love containers for their portability and flexibility. Suitable for today’s cloud-native environment and agile development requirements, containers make it super-fast to develop, test, and run applications. Besides this, they are lightweight and can optimize the platform (and the host OS) they are deployed on. Now, for powerful applications with hundreds of containers, the platform should also be portable, flexible, extensible, and efficient.

The right tools enable your team to ship amazing code quickly. But between building, deploying, testing, monitoring, and maintaining software, all those great tools can create a lot of stuff to keep track of. Luckily, there’s a solution to this problem: ChatOps.
