Minitest vs. RSpec in Rails
Rails defaults to minitest, but much of the community has adopted RSpec—which is right for you? In this article, William Kennedy compares RSpec and Minitest in a new Rails app.

React has gained popularity recently and is now among the most cherished frontend frameworks ever. React has consistently placed in the top two positions in the State of JS survey for the past five years, which serves as evidence. Additionally, this indicates that more developers than ever are creating projects in React. The React library benefits from the use of boilerplates, which are lines of code that are neutral by design and serve as a natural starting point when developing with any technology.
One of the first needs of developers is debugging memory-based issues in Node.js applications quickly and effectively. Still, before we jump right into the Heap Snapshot concept, it's essential to understand what a memory leak is. A basic definition that I would apply in this context is: Memory leaks are quite common in production applications. Fortunately, they usually aren't difficult to find.
A memory leak is an unintentional, uncontrolled, and unending increase in memory usage. No matter how small, eventually, a leak will cause your process to run out of memory and crash. Even if you periodically restart your app to avoid this crash (no judgment, I've done that!), you still suffer the performance implications of a memory leak.
As government agencies and organizations look to modernize their technology stacks to keep up with changes in the workforce, aging solutions, and closing contracts, they’ll all set out with a similar process: submit an RFP, review submissions, and choose a vendor. Seems simple enough. But what government CIOs often don’t realize is that requiring proven, specific use cases may be limiting what their new (and likely expensive) technology investment can do for their organization.
As Business Intelligence (BI) tools, data warehousing solutions, and enterprise data and application landscapes have advanced, it’s worth taking the time to rethink that old model, starting with the dichotomy between operational reporting (OR) and strategic analytics. There is a clear difference between operational reporting and BI, but they can and should work together. Companies use one or the other, and if they have both, there is a gap between them.
