According to the website, Apache Kafka is an open-source distributed event streaming platform used by thousands of companies for high-performance data pipelines, streaming analytics, data integration, and mission-critical applications.
In this post, I am going to share a basic way to start using Apache Kafka with python.
Ever since Amazon Web Services debuted in 2008, builders of complex engineering software systems have had increasingly powerful ways to scale heavy computational workloads in the cloud.
Calculations that previously would have required the purchase of dozens of expensive servers can now be executed at a fraction of the cost in AWS. Unfortunately, not all engineering software packages are server-based, much less cloud-based.
If you run a software company, it’s common to think about the User Experience (UX), how they experience your product when they use it, how intuitive it is to interact with, how quickly someone can accomplish an activity within your product, and how they feel about that process when it is completed.
The developer experience (DX) is similar, but instead of how your customer experiences using your software, it’s how your developers experience the process of adding features, fixing bugs, doing code reviews, meeting testing objectives, coordinating on QC/QA requirements, and fulfilling their responsibilities in the release process.
Working with Terraform, an open-source infrastructure as code software tool, for over five years has taught me some key lessons. Here are five practices that have been critical to having a sane and usable Terraform setup, regardless of the size of the team or the nature of the project.
This one might seem obvious, but I’ve seen it go wrong several times.
