Grab Hold of Meta With Tech

How Different Tech Stacks Compare

After deploying countless websites, you will see the narrow difference between tech stacks. Python, PHP, JavaScript, Elixir, Ruby, and others all write HTTP responses. This uniformity means developers can pass all HTTP handling through a standardized webserver interface like Apache/NGINX.

Web servers are a MUST and highly optimized for driving web traffic. Apache/NGINX fulfill common needs such as simultaneous requests, encryption, and "path rewriting" (sales). Businesses that do not use quintessential web servers are doomed to face early scaling issues.

Test Automation: Maven Profiles and Parallelization in Azure Pipelines Using IaaS

When it comes to Test Automation, configuring parallel threads can become challenging especially when logins are involved. It's more of a challenge for the UI/ Selenium test to run batches in a separate thread on Azure pipelines with separate credential sets. 

Solution Overview: Create test suites using tags for the cucumber framework. Create profiles for login credentials and environments to run on. Compile the build with a test suite, login credentials, and environment to run on. This approach can be used for other types of test suits as well such as Junit.

Explaining Cloud Computing in Layman Terms

Defining Cloud Computing in Simple Terms

Cloud computing renders businesses increased efficiency, cost-saving, plus a seamless boost in performance and data security.

Before going further, let's start by defining cloud computing in layman terms: cloud computing is using the internet to store, access, and secure applications, data servers, and networking hardware and software. You can rent various cloud services, including applications, storage, and computing power, on a pay-as-you-go basis. As a result, you can save on the costs of owning local storage servers.

Tips to Choose the Right Cloud Solution for Your Web App Development

The cloud computing environment considerably matured last year. Cloud-native computing is now the beating heart of enterprise Information Technology. Nonetheless, the ecosystem of the industry continues to evolve fast, and new trends are on the horizon this year and for the years to come. It’s expected that by the end of 2020, over 80 percent of the entire enterprises would be in the cloud. 

Organizations are unearthing the power of mixing and matching cloud service to solutions that address almost any organization need as the adoption to the cloud hits another growth spurt. These days, the cloud has become a metaphor for modern computing itself in which everything is a service that could connect and combine with other services in order to meet an endless number of app needs.

What is Cloud Computing and What is it For?

Cloud computing, one of the most influential technology trends of this century, came to light more than ten years ago and seemed to be here to stay. However, it is still common to find many doubts as to what it is, what it is for, what service models exist, and what the advantages of cloud computing are. 

In particular, there are still industries that fear the implementation of these services because they don't know about them. But you can rest assured. When you finish reading this blog post, you will have a broader picture to decide whether or not you should implement cloud services in your business.

Cloud and an Architectural Perspective Between Risk and Services

Currently, software architecture has several challenges, such as long-awaited scalability. The cloud brought this possibility with several IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS services. With so many options and services, which one to choose for each scenario? This article aims to talk a little about the disadvantages of choosing cloud services in our corporate software.

There are many challenges for an architect, like scalability and reduction of the response time of a request. It is nothing new that the concept of the cloud has brought several benefits to the world of software. In general, the cloud brought some of the following advantages:

Cloud-First is Often a Mistake. Here’s Why.

For some enterprises, a “cloud-first” policy can seem like a no-brainer, especially when compared to the quagmire of traditional data center infrastructure. Yet new software-defined infrastructure solutions like hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) also offer IT agility, as well as greater security and control than what’s available in a public cloud. Perhaps surprisingly, many actually cite cost as the key incentive for using public cloud, despite the fact that, in most cases, it is significantly more expensive than on-premises HCI solutions like Enterprise Cloud.

IDC published a study that found predictable workloads, which account for the majority of all enterprise workloads, on average were about twice as expensive to run in the public cloud as compared to running on-premises on Nutanix. And a 2018 IDC survey entitled Cloud Repatriation Accelerates in a Multicloud World reported that 80 percent of organizations had repatriated applications out of the public cloud back to on-premises, and that 50 percent of all public cloud applications installed today will move back on-premises over the next two years.
