This is the third in a series. Read Part 1 and Part 2. “2001: A Space Odyssey” doesn’t spend time on the training contexts of its antagonist, HAL 9000. The only clues we get are upon its “death,” where it regresses back to its earliest lessons, like singing “Daisy Bell” as it winds down for the last time, suggesting it started with the very basics and grew more complex only with time and practice.

Aside from its depiction of a charming-but-homicidal AI, 2001: A Space Odyssey is perhaps best remembered for its monoliths. Seemingly out of nowhere, these perfectly smooth and space-black slabs compel prehistoric apes—and later, an advanced team of astronauts—forward to touch and understand them. To see into whatever secrets they might contain. The film stays purposely ambiguous about the meaning of these monoliths.

Most websites are built with high-level languages like Ruby. Developers can always optimize their code for improved performance. Yet, even with top-notch optimization practices, what if your website still lags? How could WASM help improve the performance (time and speed) of your Ruby apps? Web Assembly is a technology that allows developers to compile code written in languages other than Javascript and run it on the web browser.

Performance metrics in computer science are typically based on time and space complexity. Time complexity deals with the application's execution time, while space complexity pertains to the memory it consumes during execution. For Django, performance relates to the speed at which a server processes user requests and returns results. The quicker the response, the better the user experience.

The Python web framework Django is an excellent choice for building performant web apps. Disqus, Pinterest, and Instagram are all built on a Django foundation. Django offers simplicity, flexibility, reliability, scalability, and all the tools you need to build a web app from admin to authentication to ORM. But this “batteries included” approach has disadvantages. It can hide a lot of the true complexity of an app from developers. Django ORM is a great example.

Even the most prominent and reliable frameworks are notorious for burning out resources if not configured perfectly. In this post, we are about to take a look at how Ruby, one of the most prominent programming languages and an awesome web application alternative when combined with Rails, manages memory, and how you can make it perform even better. Ruby is a scripting language built for use in web applications and similar stuff.

Lambdas are a powerful feature of the Ruby language. They allow you to wrap logic and data into a portable package. In this post, we’ll cover how and when to use lambdas. You'll also learn about the difference between lambdas and Procs, and the performance profile of lambda functions. The code examples have been tested with 2.6 and 2.7 and should work with most modern Rubys. Use the links below to skip ahead in the tutorial.

Flask is Python’s most popular web application framework. Using Flask, you can establish a strong foundation for a full-stack application, opening up frontiers for a more extensive, feature-rich website and allowing you to exercise full control over serving your web pages and over the internal data flow. At the end of this post, you will know enough to be able to create a basic web application using a Flask server. Let’s get started!

In this article, we will see SOLID principles and how to implement those principles while building a software application. Robert. C. Martin (popularly known as Uncle Bob) introduced the SOLID principle. Later, Michael Feather re-orders the principle to form the acronym. It helps to implement better code design, maintainability, and extendability.

Monitoring for the modern development team.
No developer ever said "I hope I get to spend all day hunting down a performance issue". When the unavoidable happens, The Scout platform is focused on finding the root cause of performance problems as quickly as possible.
Scout is monitoring for fast-moving dev teams like us. We leverage the tools that help us get big things done - Github, PaaS services, dynamic languages, frequent releases - to build a tailored monitoring platform for modern teams.
Scout continually tracks down N+1 database queries, sources of memory bloat, performance abnormalities, and more.
