Businesses are always under pressure to optimize. Often, organizations look to use business process management (BPM) methods to streamline operations. The most direct benefit of this is to reduce costs by decreasing human labor and errors. But the benefits of BPM are much broader. BPM software and BPM methods don’t just allow you to shed the excess in the system—they can help you build real, long-term benefits that pay dividends down the road.

Sealed classes are a feature introduced in Java 15 which bring a new level of control and predictability to class hierarchies. A sealed class is a class that explicitly specifies which other classes are allowed to extend it. This offers a way to restrict class hierarchies, making them more predictable and less prone to unintended extensions.

REST API standards are essential to modern programming development, and can be a great aid in increasing the efficacy and user-friendliness of your digital services. To adopt them effectively, you need to understand the significance of these standards, their foundational principles, and learn how to select the optimal standard tailored to your project’s specific requirements.

NodeJS is a JavaScript runtime environment for running JavaScript applications outside the browser environment. It’s asynchronous and event-driven, meaning it doesn't block the event loop - making NodeJS highly suitable for the development of server-side web applications. With around 50,000 open source packages available through npm (Node Package Manager), NodeJS facilitates the seamless backend extension. The GitHub repository has 99k stars and 27.5k forks demonstrating an active community.

File and folder management is a large part of backend development. Whether you are creating files, importing files, or simply following organisation standards, every system needs to consider how files are stored and archived. This is especially important for ETL or data-loading solutions. Low-code tools are a good choice when you create a process to automate your file archiving.
