Think back to when your development team made the switch to Dockerized containers. What was once an application requiring multiple services on virtual machines transitioned to an application consisting of multiple, tidy Docker containers. While the result was a streamlined system, the transition likely was daunting.

One of the most typical things a developer does is make an HTTP call to an API. An API request can be sent in a variety of ways. We can use a command-line tool like cURL, the browser's native Fetch API, or a package like Axios to accomplish this. Sending HTTP requests to your API with Axios is a fantastic tool. Axios is supported by all major browsers. The package can be used for your backend server, loaded via a CDN, or required in your frontend application.

No matter what you’re coding, there’s always room to optimize your code and improve performance. This can be a painstaking process, and if you’re going over your code line by line you’d better cancel all your plans and forget about getting any sleep! Fortunately, there are better ways to examine and optimize your code. A JS profiler is an efficient tool to help you understand your code better – effectively finding, pinpointing and optimizing bottlenecks in your code.

It’s pretty impossible to be a modern company and not have a purpose statement. While purpose is ubiquitous, I’ve found that a compelling purpose can be illusive. It’s rare that companies have a clear sense of meaning that aligns and sustains their team. I gently offer that Testlio’s purpose is meaningful—and effective.
