Docker: Volumes Vs Bind Mounts

The Docker environment provides loose isolation between your applications and your host machine because it containerizes your applications. In other words, this implies that your application operates in a container independently of your host computer in order to achieve its intended results. Docker containers have a writable layer on top that allows you to modify the contents of the container while it is running. However, the container lifecycle dictates how these changes are made.

Minimize Heap Allocations in Node.js

Memory management has always been a source of huge concern in Computer Science. Each piece of software is assigned a small portion of a computer’s finite memory; this memory has to be well-managed (carefully allocated and deallocated). With its efficient automatic garbage collection mechanism, Node.js tries to handle the tedious task of memory management and free up developers to work on other tasks.

The Top Three Entangled Trends in Data Architectures: Data Mesh, Data Fabric, and Hybrid Architectures

Data teams have the impossible task of delivering everything (data and workloads) everywhere (on premise and in all clouds) all at once (with little to no latency). They are being bombarded with literature about seemingly independent new trends like data mesh and data fabric while dealing with the reality of having to work with hybrid architectures. Each of these trends claim to be complete models for their data architectures to solve the “everything everywhere all at once” problem.
