Couchbase Mobile enables a wide range of offline-first use cases of varying degrees of scale and complexity. In an earlier post, I discussed common patterns while using Couchbase Lite as an embedded NoSQL data store within your apps. Those patterns focused on local data storage. In this blog post, we discuss a few common patterns and best practices as it relates to syncing data with the Sync Gateway. This post assumes that you are familiar with the fundamentals of Couchbase Mobile. If you need a primer, check out the docs on Couchbase Lite and Sync Gateway.
Looking for Part 1? Head on over here and check it out!.
Backgrounding support on mobile apps varies drastically by the platform. In fact, on certain platforms such as Android, the concept of “backgrounded apps” is quite nebulous/complicated. So how you would sync data while your app is in the background is very much platform-dependent. You can find a discussion on how Couchbase Lite reacts to the app life cycle on iOS, Android, and Windows in our documentation.
Since the first official release in 2014, Couchbase Mobile has enabled a wide variety of use cases of varying degrees of scale and complexity. Despite the variation, there are some common usage patterns for using Couchbase Mobile.
I have put together a series of blog posts that cover some common usage patterns and tips and recommended practices for addressing these use cases. In this blog post, we discuss common patterns if you are developing apps with Couchbase Lite. This post assumes that you are familiar with the fundamentals of Couchbase Mobile. If you need a primer, check out the docs on Couchbase Lite.
The flow of information that runs through the average business every day is like a river. It’s massive and holds the potential for danger if you’re not careful. Scammers easily lift data from your payment systems if you let them and use it to steal your information. When working with clients, it's very common to receive and send sensitive information, such as server names, usernames, passwords, or even clients' internal information. Sharing this information via an email, text, files, or a 'chat' program is very insecure, unless you encrypt the information using a good encryption method.
Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) is a data encryption and decryption computer program that provides cryptographic privacy and authentication for data communication. PGP is often used for signing, encrypting and decrypting texts, E-mails, files, directories, and whole disk partitions to increase the security of e-mail communications. It was created by Phil Zimmermann in 1991.
First of all, I'll give a brief introduction to Ballerina, as this is my first post about the language on DZone.
Ballerina is a brand new, statically-typed programming language that was developed specifically to target the integration space. There are some previous posts I have written in Medium about Ballerina.
The TypeScript 3.7 release is coming soon, and it's going to be a big one.
The target release date is November 5th, and there are some seriously exciting headline features included:
Since Optimized columnar file formats helped Big data ecosystem to have SQL query features, Organizations are now able to retrain their existing data warehouse or Database developers quickly in Big data technology and migrate their analytics applications to on-premise Hadoop clusters or cheap object storage in the cloud.
When Columnar file formats were first proposed in the early 2010s, the intention was to enable faster query execution engines on top of the Hadoop file system. The columnar format was explicitly designed to give much-improved query performance than conventional row-based file formats. Columnar file formats give much better performance than row-based file formats (used in conventional Databases and data warehouses) when a partial set of columns from a table are queried.
Modex Blockchain Database (BCDB) is a software product designed to empower businesses by enabling them to develop and deploy blockchain software solutions. Modex BCDB falls into the middleware category, as it positions itself between the client’s software application server and their database. What sets Modex BCDB apart from its competitors is its approach to handling data. From the start, the brains behind this new innovative take on blockchain technology decided to employ a minimally invasive approach, in the sense that companies and enterprises keep their database system intact. Their proposed solution which later took shape in Modex BCDB modifies a set of connectors in order to link the database to a blockchain network, thus significantly enhancing storage capabilities.
Just getting started with Blockchain? Then check out Blockchain: An Introduction
Modex BCDB is the first middleware solution that manages to be both database and blockchain agnostic. Currently, other solutions present on the market are either blockchain or database agnostic, but not both at the same time. Modex BCDB doesn’t aim to replace the existing database but to improve it by adding a blockchain layer. By situating ourselves between the database component and the client’s software, we ensure a higher degree of security and trust, while giving access to a mechanism through which clients can create their own infrastructure. By adopting a modular design, Modex BCDB becomes truly agnostic in the sense that it to any type of database and blockchain. To push the envelope even further, can connect to different databases at the same time, as a result, clients are not obliged to change their database provider. Through Modex BCDB it becomes possible to build a distributed database network with different database engines. Distributed databases exist for some time, but our system allows developers to combine different databases and distribute them across different database engines. Another unique feature is how the system performs encryption through the master and the user key, as well as the fact that encryption can be performed selectively, at the field level.
In terms of JavaScript frameworks, there is one solution that can meet the different needs of web developers. At any given time, there are dozens of frameworks available in the market.

This week, we check out the vulnerabilities fixed in EU’s eIDAS (electronic IDentification, Authentication, and trust Services) system and Cisco routers, how Instagram is seeking to avoid the privacy controversies that Facebook itself has had, and interesting predictions from Gartner’s latest API report.
EU has patched the reference implementation of the eIDAS system that the member states use for international transactions and signatures.
A lot of businesses are migrating to cloud computing. The question, however, pertains to why we move to the cloud, so here’s our take on cloud migrating benefits and some cloud migration strategies. We’ve covered it all, whether you’re opting for a cloud-to-cloud or shared-to cloud-migration.
When web-based applications started, the app architecture was so simple that multiple apps could be easily hosted on a shared server, without any significant compromises on performance. However, as the number of users and the internal complexity of the apps increased, shared hosting started to fail, and thus, the businesses migrated their apps to dedicated VPS hosting solutions where they were able to provide the resources and ensure baseline performance.
As of today, every organization is adopting a cloud-first approach for hosting their business applications. Those who had their applications in data centers are also migrating their assets to cloud. Some of the reasons are:
There are limited upfront capital costs compared to traditional days where you need space to host your infrastructure in data center and need a lot of money to own and manage it.
Things were quite simple in the old days. Proactively monitoring applications or infrastructure was not the norm. If there was a failure, a user would pick up the phone to inform the help-desk that the app is broken.
Troubleshooting was all reactive and the only path to resolution was for someone to roll up their sleeves and go in and look at log files and manually fix errors by themselves.
2020 is almost here, and it’s time for QA professionals to make new resolutions to improve their testing process. We all understand how software testing has evolved in the last few years. From automating cross-browser testing to real-time testing of web apps with Selenium, a lot of changes have come to the testing process. Though some innovations and technologies made it easy for QA professionals to test their web app, some challenges even made the testing process more complicated than earlier.
