Buried deep in the system, a basic Perl library has made any date comparison operation with the year 1970 become 2070, starting from January 1, 2020. It may seem not important at all, but for many systems, the “beginning” of the Unix calendar begins precisely in 1970, that is, a base reference date, used in much code precisely since the origin of Unix times, 1970.

This blog focuses on implementing the Dependency Injection design pattern to the Azure Functions. For a better understanding of Dependency Injection and Azure Function, Let’s take a simple Cab booking validation scenario, in which there will be a Function app implemented with the Dependency Injection that validates the user email Id that is valid or not.

The popularity of serverless infrastructure, like AWS Lambda, is on the rise, which is easy to understand, given its promise of a cheaper price tag and less maintenance. However, as companies are lifting and shifting apps into lambda, many are discovering that it’s not that simple. Like any shift, such as moving from on-prem to the cloud, the reality is, applications need to be designed a certain way in order for you to reap the cost and efficiency benefits.

As a company known for our anomaly detection, we know a thing or two about spotting irregularities. So as we reached the end of 2019, we couldn’t help but think back on the 2010s and the anomalies that shook the world. Once we got to listing them, it really became tough to pick just 10.
