Streamlining Cloud Native App Development in Kubernetes with Prioritized API Management

For years, we've witnessed how applications have shifted to the cloud, driven by cost savings, flexibility, on-demand access, scalability, and faster deployment times. During that time, new architectural best practices for building cloud native applications have emerged. (For more insights, refer to this whitepaper.) Yet despite these advances, it remains difficult to build cloud native applications that fully take advantage of Kubernetes, the platform of choice for most cloud deployments.

Building reusable UI components in Rails with ViewComponent

Reusable UI components are user interface widgets or elements that can be used in various places in a web project. These components are typically small and created for a specific functionality. Typically, you write the code once and then import the UI components wherever needed. For example, you can create a card component that displays certain information or have a navigation bar that will appear at the top of all web pages. Such UI elements can be imported and added to your desired web page.

How to Build a Memory-efficient Elixir App with Streams

We have all encountered collections of data at some point when working on Elixir applications. These collections are very handy for storing, retrieving, and manipulating data using different data structures, making them very efficient in managing clean code. In this article, we'll go through the following: Finally, we'll explore how to build a memory-efficient Elixir application using the lazy processing approach with streams.

Process Automation Strategy: 3 Must-Have Elements of a Complete Plan

We've all been involved in automated processes in companies, governments, or schools that might have made sense in theory—but fell apart when they were rolled out. That’s because automating a process is different from automating a process well. Developing a process automation strategy helps you automate effectively—but only if it includes these three often-overlooked elements.
