In today’s digital age, the internet serves as a critical platform for information, communication, and commerce. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 1.3 billion individuals, or 16% of the global population, have a major impairment. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 27% of people, or approximately one in every four, have a handicap.

Unit tests are essential to verify the behavior of small code units in a Node.js application. This leads to clearer design, fewer bugs, and better adherence to business requirements. That's why Test-Driven Development (TDD) and Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) have become so popular in the backend development community. In this tutorial, we'll dive into unit testing and understand why it's needed in your backend.

On July 19th, 2024, the world witnessed a large-scale computer outage caused by a faulty update from cybersecurity giant CrowdStrike. This incident, affecting millions of Windows devices globally, serves as a stark reminder of the domino effect that software errors can have. Since then, CrowdStrike and other industry experts have shared their preliminary incident report in which they outline the incident and the steps they will take to prevent future issues like this.

It's 2024, and the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is 35 years old. The fact that the vast majority of web traffic still relies on this simple, stateless form of communication is a marvel in itself. A first set of content retrieval optimizations were added to the protocol when v1.0 was published in 1996. These include the infamous caching instructions (aka headers) that the client and server use to negotiate whether content needs refreshing.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has been transforming industries and our day-to-day lives alike. Its undeniable impact has led to significant effort and investment into making AI more accessible to everyone, everywhere. Open-source AI technology and AI APIs are two examples of our commitment to AI democratization. AI APIs democratize AI by providing access to pre-trained AI models, even for developers without extensive machine learning expertise.
