When Should We Move to Microservices?

Last month I wrote about modular monoliths and the value of modern monolithic architecture. One of the more interesting discussions that came out of that article (and video) is the inverse discussion: when is it right to still pick microservices? Like any design choice, the answer is subjective and depends on many things. But there are still general rules of thumb and global metrics we can use. Before we get into these problems, we need to understand what it means to have a microservice architec

Essential Cybersecurity Tips to Reduce the Risk of Data Breaches

Consumer data theft and exploitation is a growing business with low barriers to entry and high payouts. This has led to a rise in attacks worldwide. In 2021, over 290 million people in the US alone were victims of data breaches. Unfortunately, the problem is only going to get worse this year. Norton Security reports that almost 60 million Americans have experienced identity theft as a result of data breaches. By 2023, cybercriminals are expected to steal 33 billion records annually.

Understanding What Is Required to Start With Test Automation for Junior Testers

Software releases have become faster than ever before. They are adding new features, quicker responses to defects, especially those found in production, and whatnot! This has resulted in a massive increase in demand for automation testers and considerable pay gaps between “manual” and “automation” testers. In addition, automated tests help companies save time by doing repetitive testing, such as regression testing. If you are new to software testing or haven’t had an opportunity to learn test au

Introduction Garbage Collection Java

This article aims to make a short brief introduction to JVM, as well as explore a little of its architecture, even as which algorithms we can choose. Finally, understand the trade-off of each approach and how this can impact the current application. Garbage Collector It is a very important component inside Java applications because of performance of the application strongly depends on the technology, and it is not a surprise that has little few collectors available.

Introduction to Shift Left Testing

Shift-left testing is a software testing approach where testing is moved to an earlier phase in the development process, closer to the development phase. The goal of shift-left testing is to catch and fix defects as early as possible in the development cycle, which can save time and resources in the long run. A real-time example of shift-left testing is in a microservices architecture where each service is developed and tested independently before being integrated with other services.
