EP11: Cell-Based Architecture

In this special edition, hosts Sanjiva and Asanka are joined by WSO2 co-founder Paul Fremantle for an in-person recording in the studio. Sanjiva leads the discussion, while Paul and Asanka, co-authors of the cell-based architecture, share their insights and experiences. Together, they explore the core principles of cell-based architecture, its practical applications, and how it reshapes modern software architecture.

API-First: Shifting Your Focus from UI to Product Value

If you’re interested in #apifirst but struggle to understand the organisational or operational drivers that might indicate a positive return on investment for adopting such approaches, then check out this session from Frank Kilcommins and Nauman Ali. They cover the topics above and showcase how visual tools, like the new Form Editor within #Swaggerhub can help break down the barriers to participation in API delivery.

Boosting Kubernetes Developer Productivity: Top Tools and Strategies for Efficient Development

Developer productivity is not just about writing code faster—it’s about creating efficient, self-service environments that minimize friction and reduce the time from development to deployment. In the context of Kubernetes clusters, enhancing productivity means leveraging the right tools and workflows to streamline development, reduce errors, and speed up feature releases. This guide explores the key strategies and tools that can significantly boost productivity in Kubernetes environments.

Common Types of Software Architecture

When referring to common types of software architecture, often people refer to the general blueprint or structure that software developers follow when building applications. Relying on common architectural styles makes it easier for project managers and programmers to make products efficiently. Development teams can choose software architecture patterns they know can offer the functionality they need.

How To Switch From Jest To Vitest For Better Node.Js Testing

Jest and Vitest are two well-known JavaScript testing frameworks, each with its own strengths. Jest, created by Facebook, is especially popular for React applications. It provides a "zero-config" setup, built-in code coverage reporting, and snapshot testing, making it a complete solution for many JavaScript projects. Vitest, a newer framework in the Vite ecosystem, is known for its speed and lightweight design. Using Vite’s dev server, Vitest performs very well, especially in larger projects.

Seasonal Holiday Readiness Testing with Production Traffic

Many businesses depend on seasonal products, offerings, and campaigns. Seasonal traffic usually refers to high traffic levels because of festival seasons like Thanksgiving and Christmas and sales events like Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Boxing Day. These impact a wide range of industries, such as travel, hospitality, social activities, and, most prominently, e-commerce.

What Is Acceptance Testing

Software testing that confirms if a system or application satisfies the necessary specifications and business needs is called acceptance testing. It is usually performed at the end of the software development life cycle, after unit testing and integration testing have been completed. The main goal of acceptance testing are to : Instead of the development team, end users, business stakeholders, or customers frequently conduct acceptance testing.

Understanding Modern Development Environments: A Complete Guide

A development environment is a crucial setup of tools, configurations, and processes that developers use to build, test, and deploy software. Whether it’s a local setup on a developer’s local machine or a remote cloud-based solution, a development environment’s primary goal is to provide a seamless space where code can be written, tested, and executed efficiently. It’s never been more important to have a streamlined setup of cloud and development environments.
