Navigating Django Logging: From Basics to Best Practices

Django is designed to be secure by default, which means that its got a number of featured out of the box to protect against common Web vulnerabilities, including SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and cross-site request forgery (CSRF). Its extensive documentation, active community, and strong ecosystem of reusable apps and libraries make it a common choice for developers looking to create scalable and maintainable Web applications.

Autoscaling GA: Scale Fast, Sleep Well, Don't Break the Bank

We are thrilled to kickstart this first launch week with autoscaling - now generally available! Our goal is to offer a global and serverless experience for your deployments. Autoscaling makes this vision a reality. Say goodbye to overpaying for unused resources and late-night alerts for unhealthy instances or underprovisioned resources! During the autoscaling public preview, we received key feedback around scaling factors.

The Critical Role of Testing in Seamless SAP S/4HANA Migration

Organizations must migrate to SAP S/4HANA by December 2027. Using technologies beyond their End of Life (EOL) can lead to operational disruptions, increased maintenance costs, costly support services, security vulnerabilities, and compliance failures, ultimately resulting in higher expenses and diminished customer experiences. This short timeframe requires immediate planning.

Generative AI vs Predictive AI: Knowing the Differences

Generative AI has received the lion’s share of the press. With good reason—it’s revolutionizing the way we do work and do business. But it’s not the only game in town. Predictive AI also places a role across enterprise use cases like demand forecasting, maintenance, and customer experience. This blog will discuss these two types of AI: generative AI and predictive AI.

White Box Testing: All You Need To Know

White box testing is a testing method where testers evaluate the quality of a system with full knowledge of its internal structures. Here, the testers have access to the system's source code and understand how it operates internally. They know not only what the software does but also how it achieves those results. In this article, we’ll learn more about white box testing in-depth, the common techniques used, and white box testing best practices.

How to Turn a REST API Into a Data Stream with Kafka and Flink

In the space of APIs for consuming up-to-date data (say, events or state available within an hour of occurring) many API paradigms exist. There are file- or object-based paradigms, e.g., S3 access. There’s database access, e.g., direct Snowflake access. Last, we have decoupled client-server APIs, e.g., REST APIs, gRPC, webhooks, and streaming APIs.

SAP Signavio, SAP Cloud ALM and SAP Test Automation by Tricentis: The perfect combination for secure and fast releases

In the modern era of AI-based innovations and cloud transitions, businesses face the challenge of managing complex processes across multiple systems — and the rate of change is only accelerating. At the same time, businesses need to ensure that the introduction of new innovations driven by accelerated business transformation doesn’t break existing processes and systems.

Streamlit in Snowflake: Improved Customization, Performance and AI Capabilities

Snowflake’s mission is to mobilize the entire world’s data, and there are millions of data scientists and developers who don’t have access to full-stack engineering teams. It’s been our endeavor to bring the power of the AI Data Cloud to every individual developer, data scientist and machine learning engineer, so that they can build and share world-class data apps — all by themselves. Streamlit is an open source library that turns Python scripts into shareable web apps.

Regex Essentials: Validating HTML id Attributes

When we initially started building our test recorder, we needed a way to validate the id attributes being used on the page. We would sometimes capture an id attribute in a recording, only to find that it failed when we used it in a test, because it didn’t meet specification. For instance, sometimes websites would use an id with a number in front, like this: That is technically invalid, at least in the HTML4 specification.
