When Is It Time to Stop Using Scrum?

Aggregated on: 2022-10-31 02:28:36

TL; DR: When Should a Team Stop Using Scrum? When is the time to look beyond Scrum? After all, many things—ideas, practices, mantras, etc.—outlive their utility sooner or later; why would Scrum be an exception? Moreover, we are not getting paid to practice Scrum but solve our customers’ problems within the given constraints while contributing to the sustainability of our organization. Scrum is a tool, a helpful practice but neither a religion nor a philosophy. Which brings us back to the original question: Is there a moment when a Scrum team should stop using Scrum? Setting the Context of Using Scrum To Your Benefit When I ask whether there is a moment when a Scrum team should stop using Scrum, I am not referring to a situation in which using Scrum is useless, to begin with. For example, if you look at the Stacey Matrix below, you will notice areas colored in red—Simple and Chaotic:

How To Validate JSON Request Body in Spring Boot

Aggregated on: 2022-10-30 16:28:36

We sometimes encounter server errors caused by a user providing input that's longer than the database column size or even a non-existent ENUM value. Do not trust user input is a popular cliche that, if implemented, will save a lot of time and resources down the line. That is why, in this article, we will be looking at the request-validator library, which is able to compare the user input against a pre-defined set of rules and return errors if any.

Cloud Key Management Services Use Cases

Aggregated on: 2022-10-28 19:28:35

Today, the cloud environment has been chosen by many business solutions as the major hosting environment for their applications. They can either choose Software-as-a-service (SaaS), Platform-as-a-service (PaaS), or Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) different solution types to build up solutions to meet business requirements. However, storing business data in the Cloud environment will have a great challenge in exposing business data to the public. As the concerns data security issues, every Cloud platform vendor provides a different solution for data security. Understanding the similarity and differences in those solutions will help the business clients choose the proper solution for the business applications. This article will discuss the primary solution use cases and major differences in secret key management among the Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS, and Google Cloud Platform for managing secret keys, certificates, and data encryptions. Although a platform could provide a similar solution or indirect solution for a specific use case, it will still be compared as a difference as long as it is not a commonly used use case.

Best Books to Learn HTML and HTML5 in 2023

Aggregated on: 2022-10-28 17:43:34

When constructing a building of any size, paying close attention to the type of foundation the structure calls for is the most important thing you can do. If you have a solid foundation, subsequent layers built on top of it will be effectively implemented, and you won't have to worry about the third voice of doubt keeping you up at night. The same is true when it comes to producing a masterpiece of art. A painting that is skillfully painted but not on canvas of sufficient quality will not survive the test of time because of the fabric it is painted on. After completing that quick task, let's go back to the job at hand, which is finishing off this brief post about the books that are the best for studying HTML and HTML5. All web developers are aware that, much like a building or a painting, the web could not be able to flower and thrive if the very foundation of its magnificence could not resist the fury of time and development. This is something that all web developers are aware of. Time has washed away a lot of technological frameworks, tools, and languages. Still, hypertext markup language (HTML) has remained the foundation of all the web miracles we see today. HTML is the foundation of every online page, which is reason enough to treat the language respectfully.

We noted that the IBM App Connect Operator can look after a number of different IBM App Connect-related custom resources. The main topic of this post is the IntegrationServer resource, but we will also discuss the Configuration resource since almost all deployments of IntegrationServer resources will require Configuration resources too.

GitHub Security 101: Best Practices for Securing Your Repository

Aggregated on: 2022-10-28 16:43:34

In 1998, Christine Peterson coined the term "open-source software." She explained that "it was a deliberate effort to make this field of endeavor more understandable to newcomers and to business". This was also the year for the first “Open Source Summit” organized by O’Reilly. Open-source software refers to source code that anyone can inspect, modify, and enhance. Also the difference between “proprietary” or “closed source” software is that the authors make their source code available to others who would like to view it, copy it, learn from it, change it or share it.

On October 25, I was on-site in Detroit at KubeCon and CloudNativeCon pre-event Prometheus Day North America. It was on-site at the Huntington Place Convention Center in room 360, which is on the river with views across the water into Canada (just a bit of geography, as many attendees I spoke with were not aware that Detroit was so close to the northern US border). The full schedule for Open Observability Day is available online, but I wanted to share an overview impression of what it was like to be there.

Anti-Patterns in Incident Response That You Should Unlearn

Aggregated on: 2022-10-28 04:13:34

It is important to invest time and effort in understanding why a system performs the way it does and how we can improve it. Companies continue with practices that yield successful results but ignoring anti-patterns can be far worse than choosing rigid processes. In this article, we will explore anti-patterns in incident response and why you should unlearn those. Common Anti-Patterns in Incident Response Just Get Everyone on the Call Alerting everyone each time an incident is detected is not the best of practices. Sometimes notifying everyone is easier or adds value. For example:

Avoiding the Kubernetes Cost Trap!

Aggregated on: 2022-10-27 21:43:34

Kubernetes has engulfed the Developer community with its popularity. It’s still a wonder offered on a silver platter (as it is open-source). The increasing Kubernetes costs come as no surprise when it has set the de facto standard of container orchestration. Yet, here we are talking about putting curbs on our Kubernetes bills. There’s a key differentiator to think through these costs – is it spending or wasting resources? If we’re expanding our infrastructure, it’s obvious that there will be a rise in Kubernetes costs. However, while our plans to expand validate the prices, they don’t guarantee efficient usage of resources.

Putting Identity at the Center of Zero Trust

Aggregated on: 2022-10-27 20:13:34

The modern enterprise is under attack. This begs the question of when, not if, your business will be breached. Gone are the days when cybersecurity revolved around on-premises applications that needed protection from external threats. The times when employees and contractors accessed everything they needed while on your network or in your building are done. The Current State of Cybersecurity With evolving digital transformation efforts, remote and hybrid working environments, and growing cloud-first infrastructure, organizations are changing how they do business; simply relying on a network perimeter is no longer sufficient. Organizations—public and private—need to provide access from anywhere, at any time, from any device, service, or application to support business.

On the other hand, Node.js typically signifies a list of objects and methods available to JavaScript programming, which operates in the V8 engine or through the node interpreter. This blog will discuss the variance between Node.js and JavaScript development. However, before discussing the differences, we will explore Node.js and JavaScript.

How Does Synchronization With Asyncio Look Like

Aggregated on: 2022-10-27 16:43:34

The most general view of program development approaches claims we have two basic coding options. The first one, synchronous code architecture, works step-by-step, and all the processes run the same way. For instance, each process performs data input and receives output from the server. Consequently, if we have operation one and process two, as well as input/output one and input/output two, input two starts only after output one. In asynchronous code, the architecture is not that strict and hierarchic. Our example with two operations looks different, as both operations can be performed simultaneously and remain independent. It is also called concurrent code.

Manage Microservices With Docker Compose

Aggregated on: 2022-10-26 22:43:34

As microservices systems expand beyond a handful of services, we often need some way to coordinate everything and ensure consistent communication (avoid human error). Tools such as Kubernetes or Docker Compose have quickly become commonplace for these types of workloads. Today’s example will use Docker Compose. Docker Compose is an orchestration tool that manages containerized applications, and while I have heard many lament the complexity of Kubernetes, I found Docker Compose to have some complexities as well. We will work through these along the way and explain how I solved them.

What’s New in C# 11: Overview

Aggregated on: 2022-10-26 21:28:34

C# 11 is coming, so we're going to explore its new features in detail. You may find these new features pretty curious even though there are not that many of them. Today let's take a closer look at the generic math support, raw string literals, the required modifier, the type parameters in attributes, and more. Generic Attributes C# 11 added support for generic attributes — now we can declare them similarly to generic classes and methods. Even though we have been able to pass a type as a parameter in a constructor before, we now can now use the where constraint to specify what types should be passed. Now we also don't have to use the typeof operator all the time.

Discuss the Problem, Not the Solution

Aggregated on: 2022-10-26 20:43:33

As a tech guy, I love to discuss technologies. And as discussions go, it's generally the comparison kind: JVM vs. Net, Java vs. Kotlin, Go vs. Rust, Maven vs. the unspeakable one, etc. However, it's too easy to fall into the quagmire of the merits and flaws of our beloved toys, talk about them for hours, and not reach a satisfactory agreement. A couple of years ago, I worked as a "Solution Architect". The job has different titles, e.g., Solution Designer, and Solution Engineer, but the goal is always the same: find the "best" solution for a problem, most of the time, a business problem.

Why Kubernetes Is the Best Technology for Running a Cloud-Native Database

Aggregated on: 2022-10-26 00:58:33

We’ve been talking about migrating workloads to the cloud for a long time, but a look at the application portfolios of many IT organizations demonstrates that there’s still a lot of work to be done. In many cases, challenges with persisting and moving data in clouds continue to be the key limiting factor slowing cloud adoption, despite the fact that databases in the cloud have been available for years. For this reason, there has been a surge of recent interest in data infrastructure that is designed to take maximum advantage of the benefits that cloud computing provides. A cloud-native database achieves the goals of scalability, elasticity, resiliency, observability, and automation; the K8ssandra project is a great example. It packages Apache Cassandra and supporting tools into a production-ready Kubernetes deployment.

Why Do Arrays Have To Be Deleted via Delete[] in C++

Aggregated on: 2022-10-25 22:43:33

This note is for C++ beginner programmers who are wondering why everyone keeps telling them to use delete[] for arrays. But, instead of a clear explanation, senior developers just keep hiding behind the magical "undefined behaviour" term. A tiny bit of code, a few pictures and a glimpse into the nuts and bolts of the compilers – if interested, you're welcome to read. Introduction You may not have noticed, or even just not paid attention, but when you write code to release the memory space occupied by arrays, you don't have to enter the number of items to be deleted. And it all works great, though.

Data Type Conversions in Java

Aggregated on: 2022-10-25 22:13:33

Unlike PHP or JavaScript, Java is a strongly typed programming language. It essentially means that each variable must be declared with a pre-defined data type that can not be changed afterwards. There are two data types in Java: Primitive data types - int, double, float, byte, long, boolean, etc. Reference data types - Integer, Double, Float, Date, String, Object, etc. In this tutorial, we will focus on type conversion for primitive data types.

What Is Managed MQTT Broker? What’s the Benefit? MQTT, “message queuing telemetry transport,” was created to solve problems of efficient use of the bandwidth of the low-speed data channel. Accordingly, server solutions (in particular messaging brokers) were needed to serve the operation of this protocol. Since cloud solutions are currently distributed in almost all areas of information technology, the corresponding cloud systems, or managed brokers, have appeared in the field of management and monitoring of the Internet of Things.

Monoliths to Microservices: Untangling Your Spaghetti

Aggregated on: 2022-10-25 19:43:33

I had the opportunity to meet with Bob Quillen, Chief Ecosystem Officer at vFunction. Bob presented in the Source Lounge in the Developer Hub at JavaOne. The premise of Bob's presentation is to use AI and automation to refactor monolithic apps into microservices faster, easier, and with less risk. The Pain Engineering velocity has slowed. Monolithic applications are hindering innovation due to compounding technical debt. The points of pain include: Long test cycles Long release cycles Inability to meet business requirements Difficult to ramp up developers Poor customer and user experience Technical debt has a people effect as well. Developers don't want to work on legacy code, they want to work on greenfield projects. Another pain is that engineering velocity has slowed. Monolithic applications do not scale and have zero elasticity. This results in out-of-control costs, downtime, and poor user experience. Microservices are more cost-efficient than monolithic applications. Microservices take advantage of cloud on-demand services like serverless. They also scale. The goal is to break monolithic applications into pieces. Modularize the components into containers. Doing this enables you to see how the code interoperates with each other. Seeing how things connect is a key architecture issue. Migration to Modernization Strategy The four stages of a migration to a modernization strategy are:

Troubleshooting App Unresponsiveness Due to Oracle DB

Aggregated on: 2022-10-25 19:28:33

Recently we encountered a production in an application. This application was connecting to multiple systems of records (SOR). Oracle RAC cluster is one of the primary systems of record. This Oracle RAC cluster was slowing down due to resource constraints. This slowdown in the Oracle RAC cluster degraded the entire application’s response time. In this post, let’s discuss the steps we pursued to troubleshoot this problem. Capturing Troubleshooting Artifacts The application was running on a WebLogic server. All of a sudden, this application started to become unresponsive. We ran the yCrash open-source script against it. This script captures 16 different troubleshooting artifacts such as Garbage Collection log, thread dump, heap dump, netstat, vmstat, iostat, top, etc. from the application stack. When an application becomes unresponsive, there could be multiple reasons for it: Garbage collection pauses, threads getting blocked, network connectivity issues, CPU starvation, memory constraints, etc. Thus, it’s ideal to capture all the troubleshooting artifacts.

Metaverse and Software Testing: Developing A More Accessible Virtual World

Aggregated on: 2022-10-25 17:43:33

Metaverse is one of the most talked about things at the moment. With its agnostic and industry-oriented nature, Metaverse applies to many dynamic use cases, from work to socialization and gaming, transforming lives in personal and professional spheres. In other words, the Metaverse will be the next big move for the transformation we will witness with all the upcoming applications, websites, and software solutions. However, driving the maximum value out of the metaverse concept requires immediate access to testing to validate the innovation benchmarks while working on user experience.

Keeping Sensitive Data Out of Your Logs

Aggregated on: 2022-10-25 17:43:33

If your organization builds or maintains an application stack that processes customer data, then you know that protecting sensitive data like personally identifiable information (PII) and personal healthcare information (PHI) is essential to keeping your business going and trusted by your customers. You might think it’s enough to store PII and PHI securely, only exposing it in the proper contexts through your system’s UI and APIs. However, some of the biggest breaches of customer data have happened because sensitive data found its way into poorly secured logs. How do you ensure that PII and PHI stay out of your logs? In this article, we’ll talk about how to isolate this sensitive data and which practices will assure your customers that they can trust you to protect their data.

Why Data Analytics Is Central to Digital Adoption Optimization

Aggregated on: 2022-10-25 17:13:33

Big data is no longer a buzzword; data is generated at very mammoth rates daily; considering that each individual generates approximately 2.5 quintillion bytes daily, data scientists and analysts have a lot on “their plates.” Why data scientists and analysts need to buckle up is not far-fetched; a more significant proportion of the data we generate daily is in the unstructured or semi-structured format; for data analysts and scientists to effectively use data, they must work around the clock to ensure the data is structured. Incidentally, this is not a task that private and public organizations can embark on manually. There is a need for organizations to integrate digital adoption.

Three Ways To Scale Your Apps With Render

Aggregated on: 2022-10-25 16:43:33

When your app is experiencing high traffic or utilization, you need to scale your service to handle that load. Scaling can be done either vertically or horizontally — or both! Vertical scaling means making a single resource bigger or more powerful. For example, you might add more CPU or RAM to your server. Horizontal scaling means creating multiple instances of the same service. For example, you might deploy three copies of your server instead of one and then place them all behind a load balancer that handles routing the traffic to each of them. Both types of scaling can be done manually or automatically (autoscaling).
