GitTogether | Let's get Meshy with Istio Service Mesh | Leon Nunes

In the world of microservices, networking and Observabilty is always a challenge, often there are different methodologies used. A service mesh is something that standardizes this. Istio service mesh is a mature framework that runs in K8s and provides a standard interface for this In this session we will do a istio 101 and go over how a service mesh helps with microservices and hybrid architectures.

Most Prolonged Interaction With the Microservices Conversion

Back in the 2000s, code lived in one execution thread. Database queries, user interactions, and data pipelines were all managed by the same processes. The problem? Everything was interconnected and interdependent. Fixing one thing might break another. Releases were all or nothing. We call this monolith hell. Your ticket out? Microservices.

Understanding and Overcoming Test Data Management Challenges

Test data is a critical component of software testing, referring to the input values, files, or other resources used to exercise a software application or system during testing. In other words, test data is the fuel that powers software testing, enabling teams to validate the functionality, performance, and security of a software product.

Resolving Database Conflicts with Centralized APIs in Microservices

Harnessing Generative AI for Flood Insurance Risk Evaluation and Mitigation

Floods are the most common natural disaster worldwide. A flood is demarcated as an overflow of water that submerges land that is usually dry. Flash flooding befalls when heavy rainfall over a short period hits areas with inadequate drainage. Other causes of flood events comprise high tides, storm surges, river overflow, and snow melt. Each year, floods extinguish assets worth billions of dollars. In the last five years alone, monetary losses caused by floods worldwide were estimated at 299 billion U.S.

Balancing Speed, Quality, and Maintainability in Test Suite Management

A test suite is a collection of test cases, test scripts, and test data that are used to validate a specific aspect of a software application or system. It serves as a critical component of the software testing process, ensuring that the application meets the required quality, functionality, and performance standards. A well-structured test suite plays a vital role in identifying defects, bugs, and inconsistencies, enabling developers to make necessary improvements and enhancements.

Will AI Replace Software Quality Assurance Roles?

My horse recently had an injury. Initially, we suspected an issue with his hind leg due to prior swelling, but our vet suspected something else. To confirm her assumptions she also used an AI tool called Sleip.AI during the examination, and confirmed the problem in the front leg instead. This AI tool didn’t replace her expertise but accelerated her diagnostic process, showcasing how AI augments rather than replaces professional judgment.
