Your Pi-Hole Is a Rich Source of Data

Aggregated on: 2023-03-04 03:59:50

While a lot of my inspiration for blog posts come from talking with New Relic users, it's hard to share them as examples because their so specific and often confidential. So I find myself struggling more to find a generic "for instance" that's easy to understand and accessible to all everyone. Which should explain why I use my home environment as the sample use case so often. Even if you don't have exactly the same gear or setup I do, it's likely you have something analogous. On top of that, if you don't have the specific element I'm discussing, many times I believe it's something you ought to consider.

Java Sealed Classes: Building Robust and Secure Applications

Aggregated on: 2023-03-03 22:59:50

Java sealed classes were introduced in Java 15 as a way to restrict the inheritance hierarchy of a class or interface. A sealed class or interface restricts the set of classes that can implement or extend them, which can help prevent bugs and make code more maintainable.

Think Reactive and Native With Quarkus, Kotlin, and GraphQL

Aggregated on: 2023-03-03 21:14:50

Introduction In today’s world of software development, the terms “native” and “reactive” have gained significant popularity, becoming crucial considerations for developers, architects, and businesses alike. Regardless of whether you’re building front-end applications or back-end systems, the native and reactive approach has become a crucial component of modern software development’s non-functional requirements. This blog aims to explore the significance of these two concepts and why they have become so essential.

Building a Unified API Using GraphQL Joins

Aggregated on: 2023-03-03 20:44:50

GraphQL Joins lets developers join data from two different GraphQL services to create a unified GraphQL API without needing to write custom code or modify any underlying APIs. It enables you to quickly fetch data from across databases and other GraphQL services as if they were one schema to easily mix and match your data sources. To create a join, you need to define the relationship between the two data sets you want to unify. Joins are typically based on a shared key between the two objects, such as an ID or name. Once the relationship is established, the query returns both data sets, allowing us to ask complex questions and receive a wealth of information in one response.

Microservices 101: Transactional Outbox and Inbox

Aggregated on: 2023-03-03 19:44:50

One of the fundamental aspects of microservice architecture is data ownership. Encapsulation of the data and logic prevents the tight coupling of services. Since they only expose information via public interfaces (like stable REST API) and hide inner implementation details of data storage, they can evolve their schema independently of one another. A microservice should be an autonomous unit that can fulfill most of its assignments with its own data. It can also ask other microservices for missing pieces of information required to complete its tasks and, optionally, store them as a denormalized copy in its storage.

Privacy-Preserving AI: What It Is and Why It Matters?

Aggregated on: 2023-03-03 16:44:50

Let's start with an example; suppose your employer uses an AI system to analyze employee data and make decisions about hiring and promotion. In that case, there's a chance it could use your race or gender as one of its criteria features for making those decisions. If this happens without your knowledge or consent, especially if you don't agree with how they're being used, then there could be legal implications for both the company and the employees. This problem has been at least partially addressed by restricting access to certain types of sensitive information like faces and gender while still allowing access through other channels such as text search terms or GPS coordinates. However, these solutions still don't fully solve all privacy concerns since there will always be ways around them. This problem has been at least partially addressed by restricting access to certain types of sensitive information like faces and gender while still allowing access through other channels such as text search terms or GPS coordinates, but these solutions still don't fully solve all privacy concerns since there will always be ways around them; someone could not take pictures without including any faces at all.

The Role of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Website Development

Aggregated on: 2023-03-03 16:14:50

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are two cutting-edge technologies that are revolutionizing the field of website development. AI refers to the ability of computers to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as recognizing speech, understanding natural language, and making decisions based on data. On the other hand, ML is a subset of AI that involves training algorithms to learn from data and make predictions or decisions based on that learning. In website development, AI and ML can be used to automate repetitive tasks, optimize website elements, and improve the user experience. For example, AI-powered chatbots can provide 24/7 customer support, while ML algorithms can analyze user behavior to provide personalized content and recommendations. AI and ML can also help optimize website content for search engines, improve website security, and analyze user data to generate insights that can improve the user experience and drive conversions.

What Is APIOps? And How to Be Successful at APIOps

Aggregated on: 2023-03-03 13:44:50

Since the first introduction of the term DevOps, it seems that new 'Ops" related terms pop up as quickly as technology trends. For example: AIOPs: Enhance and automate various IT processes with AI. MLOps: Develop, deploy, and manage machine learning. FinOps: Optimizing and managing cloud cost. DevSecOps: Integrate security into the Software development lifecycle (SDLC). GitOps: Manage and deploy infrastructure and applications (code and configuration) using Git. I bet the next Ops-related term will be ChatGPT-Ops ;-). Finally, an OPs term that has popped up in recent months is APIOps, but what does it mean, especially as APIs are not new and come in many different styles?

Please Pick a Number

Aggregated on: 2023-03-03 03:14:50

On Randomness in Data Picking a random number might seem to be a no-brainer for us humans. We just close our eyes and say the first number that comes to our minds. But is this really the case for computers? By design, they should be pretty predictable. With the same input data and program, the computer should always yield identical results. Yet, randomness is very crucial in IT. For instance, random data is used to produce keys of certificates or access tokens. If the generated content could be predicted by attackers, then the application security would be compromised.

Readability in the Test: Exploring the JUnitParams

Aggregated on: 2023-03-03 01:29:50

Making the test readable and maintainable is a challenge for any software engineer. Sometimes, a test scope becomes even more significant when we need to create a complex object or receive information from other points, such as a database, web service, or property file. You can use simplicity by splitting the object creation from the test scope using the JUnitParams. In this video tutorial, we'll learn how to use JUnitParams, the types, and how to simplify your tests with these techniques. The first question that might come to your mind is: "Why should I split the object from my test scope?" We'll start to enumerate some points and when this makes sense.

A Simple Safety Net for Async EventHandlers

Aggregated on: 2023-03-03 00:14:50

When we discuss async EventHandlers, the first thing that comes to mind for many of us is that it’s the only exception that we seem to allow for the dreaded async void setup. When I had written about this before, I was excited that I was exploring a solution that involved actually allowing the async void to exist (without wanting to pull the rest of my hair out). For me, this was much more about some clever tricks we can use to overcome async EventHandlers than it was to provide solutions for avoiding the problem entirely. With that said, though, there was a lot of traction on the article, which I am very thankful for, and some folks expressed opinions that they’d rather solve async EventHandlers in a different way. I thought this was a great point, so I wanted to come up with an alternative approach that doesn’t fix async void, but it allows you to a-void it (see what I did there?) entirely while solving some of the challenges with async EventHandlers.

IAM Best Practices

Aggregated on: 2023-03-02 23:14:50

IAM stands for "Identity and Access Management." IAM provides answers to the fundamental question in DevOps: "Who can access what?" The roots of IAM go back to the early days of computing, where users of UNIX systems needed a username and password to access their accounts and files. As systems got more complex, grew in number, and larger pools of users needed access, identity management solutions like Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, LDAP, became increasingly popular, where a central team could manage access for multiple departments and roles.

How To Implement Video Information and Editing APIs in Java

Aggregated on: 2023-03-02 19:44:49

In the past 15+ years, online video traffic has experienced a dramatic boom utterly unmatched by any other form of content. According to data provided by Sandvine in their 2022 Global Internet Phenomena Report, video traffic accounted for 53.72% of the total volume of internet traffic in 2021, and the closest trailing category (social) came in at just 12.69%. As this report goes on to highlight, video traffic has become so pervasive that it’s now directly influencing traffic in other measurable content categories (such as on messaging, gaming, and social) where video content is frequently viewed and disseminated. It must be said that this video traffic phenomenon primarily owes itself to modernizations in the scalability of streaming infrastructure, which simply weren’t present fifteen years ago. A proportionate level of demand for video content was (probably) always there, but the willingness to pause videos and sit through long, frustrating video buffer times certainly put a dent in that demand. Not only has near-infinitely scalable cloud storage reduced the burden of storing large video files, but CDNs (content delivery networks) deployed by video streaming and social media giants in this timeframe have all but eliminated those slow server-to-client buffering times, which initially plagued the user experience.

Is Observability Replacing Testing?

Aggregated on: 2023-03-02 19:14:49

Testing is a best-case scenario to validate the system's correctness. But, it doesn't predict the failure cases that may occur in production. Experienced engineering teams would tell you that production environments are not uniform and full of exciting deviations. The fun fact is – testing in production helps you test the code changes on live user traffic, catch the bugs early, and deliver a robust solution that increases customer satisfaction. But, it doesn't help you detect the root cause of the failure.

How To Handle Secrets in Python

Aggregated on: 2023-03-02 18:44:49

We live in a world where applications are used to do everything, be it stock trading or booking a salon, but behind the scenes, the connectivity is done using secrets. Secrets, such as database passwords, API keys, tokens, etc., must be managed appropriately to avoid any breach. The need for managing secrets is critical for any organization. Secrets can be leaked in many ways, including through version control systems (never hardcode any secrets in your code), private messages, email, and other communication channels. If secrets are leaked, it can lead to a loss of trust, credibility, and even business. In some cases, leaked secrets can also lead to legal action. That’s why it’s so important to have a plan for managing secrets.

15 Best Practices on API Security for Developers

Aggregated on: 2023-03-02 01:59:49

APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are used to connect software applications, allowing them to share data and functionality. APIs are an essential part of modern software development, enabling developers to create more powerful and complex applications. However, APIs can also pose a security risk if they are not properly secured. In this article, we will discuss API security and the best practices developers can use to secure their APIs. Why Should Developers Prioritize API Security? Protecting sensitive data: APIs often transmit and receive sensitive data, such as personally identifiable information (PII), payment card details, and health records. A security breach can lead to data theft, fraud, and identity theft, causing significant harm to individuals and organizations. Compliance and regulatory requirements: Many industries, such as finance, healthcare, and government, have strict regulatory requirements for data security and privacy. Developers must ensure that their APIs comply with these standards, such as GDPR, HIPAA, or PCI-DSS, to avoid legal and financial penalties. Reputation and brand image: A security breach can lead to negative publicity, loss of customer trust, and damage to the brand’s reputation. Consumers expect for their data to be secure when they use an organization’s services, and a security incident can quickly erode that trust. Financial losses: Security incidents can result in financial losses due to data theft, fraud, and legal fees. Organizations can also incur costs associated with remediation and recovery efforts. Cyber threats are on the rise: Cyber threats are evolving and becoming more sophisticated every day. Developers must stay vigilant and adopt best practices to prevent cyberattacks and data breaches. 15 Best Practices Developing secure APIs is crucial for protecting the data and resources of the API. Here is a checklist for developers that includes recommendations for securely developing APIs:
