Functional unit and integration tests are a standard tool of any software development organization, helping not only to ensure correctness of newly implemented code, but also to identify regressions — bugs in existing functionality introduced by a code change. The situation looks different though when it comes to regressions related to non-functional requirements, in particular performance-related ones: How to detect increased response times in a web application?
As we push more data to the cloud, avoidable mistakes are hampering migration. The biggest culprit: messy data with inadequate security and integration.Data transfers seem to be the easiest part of cloud migration. After all, migrating applications is the biggest pain in the neck. Data replication and migration should be simple, something that’s done during the last step of the application and data migration process. Right?
Big data is transforming the relationship between companies and customers. Analyzing large amounts of data for marketing purposes is not new, but recent advancements in big data technology have given advertisers powerful new ways of understanding consumers’ behaviors, needs and preferences. Big data helps you optimize each customer’s demands and convert them into prospective purchasers.
Apache Kafka is a distributed messaging system that can be used to build applications with high throughput and resilience. It is often used in conjunction with other big data technologies, such as Hadoop and Spark. Kafka-based applications are typically used for real-time data processing, including streaming analytics, fraud detection, and customer sentiment analysis. There are many derivatives such as Confluent Kafka, Cloudera Kafka, and IBM Event Streams.
The concept of AIOps is simple: Infuse artificial intelligence(AI) into IT to make operations speedier and more efficient. In theory, AIOps at its best should lead to an autonomous IT environment in which functions can run themselves with little or no human intervention. In practicality, the path to this nirvana state is anything but straightforward and raises several questions. Where should you start? How do you measure the value? Is AI ready to scale across production environments?
Back in 2011, the phrase “digital transformation” was in vogue in tech-based opinion pieces as a passing phenomenon and a response to the changing times. Back then, Capgemini (along with Massachusetts Institute for Technology Center for Digital Business) defined it as “the use of technology to radically improve performance or the reach of businesses.” More than a decade later, the expression has far more resonance.
The 2022 Australian Open men’s singles final between Rafael Nadal and Daniil Medvedev was epic! I watched it in Australia, which meant I was up until 2 a.m. on a Sunday night. Monday morning’s dog walk was sub-joyful. Medvedev seemed unplayable, taking the first two sets comfortably. But Nadal is a legend for a reason. Point by point, he overran his rival to make history.
