Observability tools and Internal Developer Portals

Observability tools help engineering teams understand the health and behavior of software. But the term “health” in the context of this type of tooling is fairly narrow in scope—pertaining to real-time performance, reliability, and availability. While these are three important metrics to monitor, they’re lagging indicators of bigger issues happening upstream.

Let's Go Backstage: E2E IDP Tips & Tricks for Platform Engineers

Backstage is gaining wide adoption for platform engineering teams looking to build internal development platforms. After implementing Backstage, data has shown an improvement in 2X of code changes, and a decrease of 17% in cycle time making a huge impact on the business delivery pipeline for organizations. Backstage with its rich plugin ecosystem, makes it possible to get full troubleshooting and security coverage you need across your entire pipeline in a single dashboard and interface.

Enhancing Collaboration between Development and Operations with DevOps

The collaboration between development (Dev) and operations (Ops) teams is crucial for delivering high-quality software products and services efficiently. DevOps has emerged as a transformative approach that bridges the gap between these two traditionally siloed functions, fostering a culture of collaboration, automation, and continuous improvement.

Top 3 Reasons to Migrate from Visual FoxPro to .NET

For companies relying on applications built with Microsoft's Visual FoxPro (VFP) development platform, the time has come to seriously consider modernizing to a more current technology like .NET. Released way back in 1995, FoxPro reached the end of its life a decade ago when Microsoft announced the product's retirement. While VFP apps that work fine today may seem to prevent the need to modernize, under the surface, trouble is brewing. This article examines the most pressing reasons why visual FoxPro migration to .NET should be a priority for forward-thinking IT leaders.

As someone who has worked with various developers and agencies in building my web and mobile apps, I've learned firsthand the importance of finding the right partner.

What is an IDE?

An IDE (integrated development environment) is software that combines all the functions needed for development in one place. Without an IDE, developers would need to use both a text editor to enter code and a separate compiler to make the program understandable to the computer. An IDE combines these features into one tool, making development more efficient.

Software Ate the World, but Digital Transformation Can Give You Indigestion

In today’s digitally-driven world, organizations rely heavily on software applications to streamline services, provide operations, engage customers, and drive innovation through digital transformation. Software has also become the lynchpin for securing an entire business’ services and keeping them up and running. Yet, this omnipresent force comes with its own set of challenges.

Best CSS Frameworks To Look Forward To In 2024

A CSS framework is a collection of CSS libraries ready for web designers and developers to use. Stylesheets are prepared for common tasks in web design, such as font, layout, and navbar. The stylesheets make the work of UI developers easier by providing tools for creating a user interface rather than having to start each project from scratch. Other scripting languages like JavaScript support and expand stylesheets.

Functional Testing in the Era of Remote Work: Challenges and Solutions

The fast-changing world of software development requires functional testing to ensure application compliance and user satisfaction. This crucial software testing phase checks application functionality for compliance. Automation testing simulates user scenarios to find bugs before software delivery, ensuring quality.
