What is DevSecOps and what is a DevSecOps maturity model? DevSecOps brings development, operations, and security teams together in the software development lifecycle (SDLC). This approach enables teams to focus on speed and agility in software development without compromising security. A DevSecOps approach advances the maturity of DevOps practices by incorporating security considerations into every stage of the process, from development to deployment.

I apologize for this title because there are many things that can make modern software slow. Blindly applying one explanation without a bit of investigation is the software equivalent of a cargo cult. That said, this post describes one example of why modern software can be painfully slow. All I wanted was to record a forty-second voiceover for a throw-away video , so I fired up the Windows Voice Recorder app and hit the record button.

Alluxio workers are responsible for managing local resources, and they store data as blocks. Users can allocate different storage tiers as the resources for Alluxio workers, including MEM/SSD/HDD, which are further composed of directories. How does an Alluxio worker decide which directory to put a block in when a user reads or writes data through Alluxio?

I have long held very strong opinions about the Critical CSS pattern. In theory, in a perfect world, with all things being equal, it’s demonstrably a Good Idea™. However, in practice, in the real world, it often falls short as a fragile and expensive technique to implement, which seldom provides the benefits that many developers expect. Let’s look at why.

Kubernetes is used by many organizations to build, deploy, and manage large-scale distributed applications. However, the overwhelming advantage of running applications on Kubernetes comes at a cost. Progressive rollouts, rollbacks, storage orchestration, bin packing, self-healing, cost efficiency, and access to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) ecosystem carry heavy observability challenges.

It is a fact that software testing is time and resources consuming. Testing the software can be observed from different perspectives. It can be divided based on what we are testing. For example, each deliverable in the project, like the requirements, design, code, documents, user interface, etc., should be tested. Moreover, we may test the code based on the user and functional requirements or specifications, i.e., black-box testing.

The need to manipulate data at the bit level with bitwise operations isn’t common in T-SQL, but you might stumble into such a need in some specialized scenarios. Some implementations store a set of flags (yes/no, on/off, true/false) in a single integer or binary-typed column, where each bit represents a different flag. One example is using a bitwise representation of a set of user/role permissions.

This article isn’t about the act of lock escalation itself, which is already well documented and generally well understood. Some myths (like row locks escalating to page locks) persist, but challenging those yet again probably wouldn’t change much. Instead, the question I’ll address here is exactly how and when lock escalation is triggered. Much of the documentation is incorrect or at least imprecise about this and I’ve been unable to find a correct description in other writings.
