For stack scalability, elasticity at the business logic layer should be matched with elasticity at the caching layer. Ever increasing numbers of people are using mobile and web apps and the average time consumed using them continues to grow. This use comes with expectations of real-time response, even during peak access times. ? Modern, cloud-native applications have to stand up to all this application demand.

NativeScript is great. There is an easy setup process (at least for Windows, I unfortunately don’t have a Mac so I can’t speak on the MacOS side of things) that provides an executable that helps you through all the steps of setup. Unfortunately, like any automated setup process, things can go awry and stop your excitement on starting on your native apps with some errors that have little suggestion on how to move forward.

Load testing is a form of non-functional testing that is carried out to understand the behaviour of an application under a specific user load. A load test is done by simulating the real time user load on the application under test, and this determines how the application responds when multiple users hit the server simultaneously and it reveals the application’s response time, CPU and memory usage, network and bandwidth usage.

CSPs are in a critical period of transformation right now. Omnipresent connectivity is driving new disruptive business models which are further driving up demands on the networks. Virtualization of appliances and systems is seen as a necessary step to add the agility to meet these increasing and evolving service demands. As vendors and CSPs are faced with building these virtualized systems, it’s imperative to look at the software engineering methodologies that the IT industry has successfully ap

The light show at the re:Play party Another re:Invent has come and gone, and us mere AWS-using mortals are now rapidly trying to sort the wheat from the chaff of a heady harvest of announcements. It’s funny to think that AWS Lambda was announced at re:Invent only 3 years ago?—?the industry and Lambda platform both have moved forward a long way since.

This year, I’ve been lucky enough to write two articles for two great “advent calendar” style sites. I try to write for the Performance Calendar every year around this time and this year I’ve written about progressive image loading using Intersection Observer and SQIP. In this article, I dive into an image loading technique known as LQIP and walk through a step by step process of getting this up and running.

A few weeks back I wrote about accepting file uploads in a Node.js application that uses Hapi framework. This was a followup to an article I wrote titled, Upload Files to Node.js Using Angular. What if we wanted to use a different front-end framework instead of Angular? We’re going to take a look at using FormData and Vue.js to upload files, such as images, to a remote web service.
