Large portions of software development budgets are dedicated for testing code. A new component may take weeks to thoroughly test, and even then mistakes happen. If you consider software defects as security issues then the concern goes well beyond an application temporarily crashing. Although even minor bugs can cost companies a lot of time to locate the bug, resolve it, retest it in lower environments, then deploy it back to production.
Many technologies of the last century are out of date now, but flat file databases are still very much in use today and likely will be for a long while yet. They’ve stood the test of time for over four decades and are still going strong for a variety of reasons.
Encryption of Data at Rest is a highly desirable or sometimes mandatory requirement for data platforms in a range of industry verticals including HealthCare, Financial & Government organizations.

Let’s start with a real-world example from one of my past machine learning (ML) projects: We were building a customer churn model. “We urgently need an additional feature related to sentiment analysis of the customer support calls.” Creating the data pipeline to extract this dataset took about 4 months!

By merely sitting on our couch, we apply for jobs, manage our projects, talk to our friends, the order in essentials, and even pay our bills. The convenience is unsurpassable, and thanks to the user-friendly functionalities, even our grandparents seamlessly book cabs, play games, and video call us. Mobile apps are here to stay. Imagine the possibilities.
Quality assurance is a broad initiative. Ghost Inspector strives to be an all-in-one tool when it comes to browser automation. However, QA teams often use a range of products to cover all their testing needs, like API testing and load testing. This can lead to testing-related data being scattered in various places. QADeputy is a service that aims to centralize your QA operations — and it integrates nicely with Ghost Inspector.
This tutorial shows you how to create a custom Kong Gateway plugin with Go programming language. The sample plugin I created adds an extra layer for security between consumers and producers. The way it works is it identifies consumers through a consumer-key from a query string. Without this parameter, they’ll get an error message.
