By Jennifer Shin , Tejas Shikhare , Will Emmanuel In 2022, a major change was made to Netflix’s iOS and Android applications. We migrated Netflix’s mobile apps to GraphQL with zero downtime, which involved a total overhaul from the client to the API layer. Until recently, an internal API framework, Falcor , powered our mobile apps. They are now backed by Federated GraphQL , a distributed approach to APIs where domain teams can independently manage and own specific sections of the API.

Software testing is the demonstration of looking at the relics and the way the product behaves under test by approval and check. A business can appreciate and comprehend the risks of implementing software by receiving an objective, independent view of the software through software testing. Although it is possible to determine the correctness of software by assuming certain hypotheses, software testing cannot identify all software failures.

When it comes to access to their applications, users demand instant, reliable, and secure interactions — and that means databases must be highly available. With database high availability (HA), services are largely uninterrupted, and end users are largely satisfied. Without high availability, there’s more-than-negligible downtime, and end users can become non-users (as in, former customers).

A few months ago, I wrote about some experiments with prime numbers. I generated a 16-digit non-prime number by multiplying two 8-digit prime numbers, and asked ChatGPT (using GPT -3.5) whether the larger number was prime. It answered correctly that the number was non-prime, but when it told me the number’s prime factors, it was clearly wrong. It also generated a short program that implemented the widely used Miller-Rabin primality test.

The term "old-school" has two decidedly different meanings. On the one hand, it can mean classically trendy, something that never went (or will go) out of style. On the other, it connotes something that's outdated, outmoded, and fairly irrelevant. I cut my teeth on ping and SNMP, so — while it pains me to say this — old-school monitoring is decidedly in the latter category.
