Vericred, a company that provides the infrastructure for the digital distribution of health insurance, recently launched its Disruption Analysis API. The API allows users to assess the disruption (positive or negative) that would take place by switching a health or dental insurance plan for a certain group of employees. The company anticipates that the likely users for the API are employer benefits departments and insurance brokers, and the InsurTech companies that build tools for these users.
Earlier this year, Newspack chose twelve publications to take part in the initial rollout phase of the platform. Newspack is a collection of themes, plugins, and features geared towards newsrooms such as revenue generation wizards, mobile delivery, and search engine optimization.
Steve Beatty, head of Newspack Communication says they’re seeking up to 50 newsrooms to be part of phase two which lasts from September 1st – February 29th, 2020.

On the 27th of June, we announced the general availability (GA) of RedisTimeSeries v1.0. RedisTimeSeries is a Redis module developed by Redis Labs to enhance your experience managing time series data with Redis. We released RedisTimeSeries in preview/beta mode over six months ago and appreciate all the great feedback and suggestions we received from the community and our customers as we worked together on this first GA version. To mark this release, we performed a benchmark, which achieved 125K queries per second with RedisTimeSeries as compared to other time series approaches in Redis. Skip ahead for the full results, or take a moment to first learn about what led us to build this new module.
Many Redis users have been using Redis for time series data for almost a decade and have been happy and successful doing so. As we will explain later, these developers are using the generic native data structures of Redis. So let’s first take a step back to explain why we decided to build a module with a dedicated time series data structure.
In this article, let's look at

To gather insights on the current and future state of API management, we asked IT professionals from 18 companies to share their thoughts. We asked them, "How does your company use APIs?" Here's what they told us:
Here's who shared their insights:
Will robots replace human taskforce? What is the role of artificial intelligence in relation to the employee of tomorrow? There are so many advantages that one gets carried away and does not stop to think about the shortcomings. Dealing with the overwhelming growth in employee data is the major factor to consider when one thinks about Employee Experience (EE).
There are inherent advantages obvious to many but worth mentioning anyway. Though the onus is on mimicking human behavior, it follows the same grading mechanism based on the complexity of the task. But, since it decreases hiring biases, HR departments love it since the decision making at the initial level is out of their hands.
Variables are used to store values for use within a Mule flow in a Mule application. Variables can store a current message, current message payload, or current message attributes.
In Mule 3, there are 3 types of variables:
The SQL Prompt Best Practice rule checks whether a comparison or expression includes a NULL literal ('NULL'), which in SQL Server, rather than result in an error, will simply always produce a NULL result. Phil Factor explains how to avoid this, and other SQL NULL-related calamities.
SQL Prompt has a code analysis rule (BP011) that checks whether a comparison or expression includes a NULL literal ('NULL'). These will always produce a NULL result. To determine whether a datatype is or isn’t NULL, use ISNULLor ISNOTNULL.
The State of Testing report’s 6th edition is now live, and it is packed with interesting trends and insights from the software testing community.
The State of Testing is the largest testing survey worldwide, with over 1,000 participants from over 80 countries. Created by PractiTest and Tea Time with Testers, the report aims to shed light on the most important trends in the software testing community, and grant testers the ability to better understand their professional status relative to other testers and companies worldwide.
Most Java developers have had to debug their applications, usually to find and fix an issue there. In many cases, the application to debug (known as the “debuggee”) is launched from within the IDE used by the developer, while the debugger is also integrated into the IDE, allowing easy inspection of the program state in a step-by-step manner. Sometimes, however, the debuggee JVM is launched from a separate command line, or by executing it on a separate host. In such scenarios, debugging necessitates launching the JVM with some options suitable for debugging, while your IDE debugger would have to connect to it. This is where JDWP (Java Debug Wire Protocol) comes into play.
In order to debug remotely executed JVMs (where the debuggee is separately launched locally or on another machine), the Java platform defines a protocol for communication between the JVM and the debugger. JDWP dictates the format of the commands sent by the debugger (e.g. to evaluate a local variable), and replies by the JVM. The exact way of transporting the packets is not specified and is up to the implementation to define transport mechanisms. What JDWP specifies is the format and layout of packets containing commands and those containing replies. Therefore it is conceptually very simple.
As we demonstrated in Part 1 of the series, running on the cloud is not only for cool new applications following twelve-factor principles and coded to be cloud-native. In the first article, we demonstrated how to migrate a legacy Java Spring application to run on Azure App Service and how to address handling JNDI, credentials, and externalizing the configuration. In this article, we will show to enable logging, and monitoring to use Azure native capabilities. The full application example is available on Github.
Application Insights is an extensible Application Performance Management (APM) service helping to monitor web applications. It will automatically detect dependencies such as HTPP or JDBC calls and includes powerful analytics tools to help you diagnose performance issues.

When it comes to mobile testing, two questions come in mind: "What are devices it supports and how do we test on all these devices?" It’s quite challenging to manually test on all devices and it’s not cost-effective either. Automating test cases saves of lots of time. Another challenge is running automation on actual devices.
There are multiple solutions that run automation on cloud, such as AWS Device Farm, Firebase Lab, Xamarin Test Cloud, Kobiton, Perfecto, Sauce Labs, and Experitest.
For business enterprises shifting to cloud platforms, going to the cloud offers a number of benefits and makes innovation happen faster. Working on the cloud removes barriers to innovation in many ways.
Cloud technology makes processes cheaper, easily scalable and flexible. It provides businesses flexible capacity for data storage and dissemination which is not easily done with physical data centers. Cloud technology offers massive scaling capabilities as enterprises can purchase more capacity whenever needed.
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances use Elastic Block Storage (EBS) as a root volume as well as an additional data store for applications. It is necessary to select a proper EBS volume type depending upon the workload to achieve high performance and the right approach to backup EBS volumes reqularly in production environments. We need a solution to backup and restore application data from EBS volume snapshots at any point of time and we should not pay an unnecessary cost for archiving the older snapshots. This article covers choosing the right EBS volume type for your application and provides a mechanism to handle EBS snapshots using serverless technology.
Amazon EBS provides different volume types which have different performance characteristics and cost models. We can choose the volume type based on our application requirements (the type of the workload) to achieve higher performance as well as saving overall storage cost. EBS volume is available in two different categories, SSD-backed volumes and HDD-backed volumes. SSD backed volumes are used when the workload is I/O intensive, like transactional workloads where frequent read-writes happens in an application. Its performance is rated in IOPS. HDD-backed volumes are used when an application requires continuous read and write to the disk at a cheaper rate with high throughput. Its performance is rated in throughput MiB/s.
