What Are DORA Metrics? (And Why Is Everyone Talking About Them?)

Aggregated on: 2021-10-26 20:29:28

In order to improve DevOps practices, teams need to be able to measure them and are turning to DORA metrics as the gold standard. These four metrics, change lead time, deployment frequency, change failure rate, and mean time to restore, are measures of how well teams deliver value to customers and can help inform decisions around what and how to make improvements to DevOps processes. “You can’t improve what you don’t measure.” It’s a maxim to live by when it comes to DevOps. Teams need to make data-driven decisions in order to continuously improve practices, deliver software faster, and ensure that it remains reliable. Making DevOps measurable is key for being able to know and invest in what processes and tools work and fix or remove what doesn’t. DORA metrics have become the golden standard for teams aspiring to optimize their performance and achieve the DevOps ideals of speed and stability.

Agile Integration - What Is It?

Aggregated on: 2021-10-26 20:14:28

Have you heard about Agile Architecture practices or about how adaptive methods can help us create solutions iteratively without the Big Up-Front Design? Agile Integration arises among these scenarios of constant innovation, where solutions need to be published in ever-smaller development cycles and meet the business needs and the expected time-to-market. We can say that Agile Integration practices are among the main catalysts for accelerating companies' digital transformation journeys.

Better Perl: 4 List Processing Best Practices With Map, Grep, and More

Aggregated on: 2021-10-26 19:44:28

Six months ago I gave an overview of Perl's list processing fundamentals, briefly describing what lists are and then introducing the built-in map and grep functions for transforming and filtering them. Later on, I compiled a list (how appropriate) of list processing modules available via CPAN, noting there's some confusing duplication of effort. But you're a busy developer, and you just want to know the Right Thing To Do™ when faced with a list processing challenge. First, some credit is due: these are all restatements of several Perl::Critic policies which in turn codify standards described in Damian Conway's Perl Best Practices (2005). I've repeatedly recommended the latter as a starting point for higher-quality Perl development. Over the years, these practices continue to be re-evaluated (including by the author himself) and various authors release new policy modules, but perlcritic remains a great tool for ensuring you (and your team or other contributors) maintain a consistently high standard in your code.

What Developers Can Expect as Digital Gratitude Is on the Rise

Aggregated on: 2021-10-26 18:29:28

Introduction Digital services and applications continue to play a significant role in people’s everyday lives especially during the pandemic when dependency on technology has increased to an all-time high. As a result, applications have become a lifeline to normalcy. Today, people rely on applications not only for entertainment and staying connected with friends and family but also for maintaining their health, finances, and overall lifestyle. This, of course, has placed brands under immense pressure to speed up their digital transformation efforts to stay relevant while also satisfying customers’ needs and providing an enhanced user experience. While companies, IT teams, and developers have continued to navigate new solutions for alleviating some of the pressure and addressing some of the “quick fixes” made to remain afloat during the pandemic, the digital world continues to shift, and is still a tumultuous period for some.

How to Check DAG Health Status for All Exchange Servers

Aggregated on: 2021-10-26 18:29:28

Database Availability Group (DAG) is a built-in framework in Microsoft Exchange Server that uses continuous replication and failover clustering to ensure high availability and site resilience. In Exchange Server, DAG refers to a cluster of Exchange Servers (up to 16 Exchange Mailbox Servers) that hosts a set of database copies and provides protection against switchover and failover. In DAG, there is one active server and a copy of the database on the active server is replicated across all passive servers.

Think Your On-Prem App is Cloud Stubborn? Think Again!

Aggregated on: 2021-10-26 18:29:28

At some point, we’ve all heard the phrase: “My app can’t be moved to the cloud…it’s based on AIX or IBM i.” These words often come from application owners who don’t want to re-engineer their application to use cloud-native services; they’d much rather do a classic lift-and-shift to move their application without any code changes. While some claim it’s an anti-cloud method to do a straight lift-and-shift without making use of cloud-native services, there are some instances where migrating to the cloud without changing application infrastructure makes sense. These include: Development: If the business is growing, there’s a chance it’ll need more sandbox space for developers; rather than expanding on-premises resources, they can leverage the cloud instead. Disaster Recovery: Run the DR systems in the cloud instead of having another physically separate customer-financed data center to host a disaster recovery architecture. The DR system must “look and operate” the same as the on-prem system for this to work effectively. Test: Due to new initiatives or even old quality issues, there’s a need for additional test systems that act like production. Instead of broadening on-prem assets, developers turn to the cloud, but they need ‘Test’ to look like on-prem ‘Prod.’ Since IBM i (AS/400) and AIX are based on PowerPC and not x86, the route to AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud is not apparent for these kinds of apps. They are “cloud stubborn.”

How to Be an Engineering Leader: A Letter to My Past Self

Aggregated on: 2021-10-26 18:29:28

Everyone has their own definition of true leadership. What I didn't understand at the start of my leadership journey was that each of us is a leader. Regardless of intent, we influence and impact our communities, industries, workplaces, and relationships. Yet, often we don't understand the importance or impact of simply being present. So I wanted to write a message to anyone looking to grow into engineering leadership. This was the letter the younger version of myself needed and I hope that it will highlight the importance of self-empowerment in your journey. To Whom It May Concern, Anyone remembered by history has taken it upon themselves to venture down their own path. In some instances, these individuals stood their ground and continued forward in the face of violence, war, political and economic systems, beliefs, and stereotypes never before challenged. And so they changed the perspectives and consequently the lives of individuals around them. These individuals didn't stand out by being just like everyone else. Instead, they took up the metaphorical shovel and paved their path by taking actions in alignment with what they believed and desired.

Creating an Impact Analysis for Support Driven Development

Aggregated on: 2021-10-26 17:59:28

Note: This is the 3rd post in the series around Support Driven Development. If you have the time and wish to start from the beginning, you can find the intro here. One of the leading reasons a project takes more time than was estimated is because a proper impact analysis was not carried out. In some cases, they may not be done at all. If and when an impact analysis is carried out, rarely is there thought put into how the new development is going to be supported.

Defining the Developer Experience

Aggregated on: 2021-10-25 23:29:27

If you run a software company, it’s common to think about the User Experience (UX), how they experience your product when they use it, how intuitive it is to interact with, how quickly someone can accomplish an activity within your product, and how they feel about that process when it is completed. The developer experience (DX) is similar, but instead of how your customer experiences using your software, it’s how your developers experience the process of adding features, fixing bugs, doing code reviews, meeting testing objectives, coordinating on QC/QA requirements, and fulfilling their responsibilities in the release process.

How to Know When to Utilize Cross-Browser Testing

Aggregated on: 2021-10-25 20:29:27

We all know that if we are developing something that runs on the web using browsers then cross-browser testing needs to be done. However, there is another variation of cross-browser testing – cross-device testing. If we have an application that is supposed to work on a device and is used by a set of people who may be using multiple devices then cross-device testing is needed. Thus, cross-device testing here is equivalent to testing your application on multiple devices (at least all the devices that your customers might be using).

Two Keys to Agile Transformation

Aggregated on: 2021-10-25 20:29:27

Enterprise agility has rapidly become one of the most crucial variables for a business’s long-term resiliency. With the COVID-19 pandemic, never-ending disruptions to the global supply chain, and nearly every industry’s typical processes flipped upside down, there has never been a more important time to prioritize agility than now. While the rewards of agility are high, organizations are struggling to implement key technologies and adhere to the methodologies that can get them there. In fact, the 14th Annual State of Agile Report notes that 59 percent of organizations are following agile principles, but only 4 percent of these organizations are getting the full benefit. But the ability to adapt quickly, seize new opportunities, and reduce costs is critical for survival in the ever-evolving and hypercompetitive digital age.

Tips for Cutting Down Web Development Time

Aggregated on: 2021-10-25 18:14:27

When planning the creation of a website or web app, underestimating the time needed to deliver can sink a project. The longer the project is in development the more money, time, and other resources are required to see it to delivery. Also, the longer it is developed, the more that excitement for the project wanes and it might just be cast to the rubbish heap of other discarded projects. Fortunately, over the years with advancements in tech stacks and the development of best practices, development times can be significantly reduced. This article looks at 10 easy-to-adopt practices that will reduce development time.

The goal of Levels of Testing is to make software testing more structured and efficient, as well as to make it easier to identify all available test cases and test scenarios at a given level. There are various steps in the SDLC paradigm, such as requirement gathering, analysis, coding, design, execution, testing, and deployment. All of these steps go through the software testing process's tiers of testing. There are numerous testing levels that are employed or assist in the verification of actions and performance in software testing. These testing levels are intended to fill in any gaps, and they are re-coded and re-linked as the development lifecycle progresses.

How to Migrate Your Data From Redshift to Snowflake

Aggregated on: 2021-10-25 15:59:27

For decades, data warehousing solutions have been the backbone of enterprise reporting and business intelligence. But, in recent years, cloud-based data warehouses like Amazon Redshift and Snowflake have become extremely popular. So, why would someone want to migrate from one cloud-based data warehouse to another? The answer is simple: More scale and flexibility. With Snowflake, users can quickly scale out data and compute resources independently by automatically adding nodes. Using the VARIANT data type, Snowflake also supports storing richer data such as objects, arrays, and JSON data. Debugging Redshift is not always straightforward as well, as Redshift users know. Sometimes it goes beyond feature differences that could trigger a desire to migrate. Maybe your team just knows how to work with Snowflake better than Redshift, or perhaps your organization wants to standardize on one particular technology.

Bias vs. Fairness vs. Explainability in AI

Aggregated on: 2021-10-24 22:29:25

Over the last few years, there has been a distinct focus on building machine learning systems that are, in some way, responsible and ethical. The terms “Bias,” “Fairness,” and “Explainability” come up all over the place but their definitions are usually pretty fuzzy and they are widely misunderstood to mean the same thing. This blog aims to clear that up. Bias Before we look at how bias appears in machine learning, let’s start with the dictionary definition for the word: “Inclination or prejudice for or against one person or group, especially in a way considered to be unfair.” Look! The definition of bias includes the word “unfair.” It’s easy to see why the terms bias and fairness get confused for each other a lot.

The Debugger Checklist – Part I

Aggregated on: 2021-10-24 21:59:25

I’m a disorganized person by nature. When I follow a process, it’s by habit and intuition. But when a debugging problem keeps me up at night and gets me to that state of mind where a career of raising sheep in New Zealand seems like an attractive option … That’s when I need to back off and walk through this process in an orderly fashion. This process never fails. When you walk through it, you can track any problem. Now I’m going to skip a lot of common advice. Most debugging tutorials start with things that relate to a process: File an issue, reproduce as a test case, etc. I think there’s plenty written on that online. People use it as filler since they assume debugging is a simple process. It is sometimes, but as we will learn in this blog, there’s a lot of depth and breadth to this misleadingly simple process.

In the Netflix drama Squid Game, the characters risk everything in a series of ruthless games to escape a crisis. But in the fiercely competitive digital economy, you don't have to put everything on the line to find redemption from an existential threat. For many businesses, adapting to the fast-evolving risks of the COVID-19 crisis wasn't in the digital transformation playbook. This is where low-code comes in. It gives companies the agility to avert technical debt, the flexibility to react to the unavoidable, the unpredictable, and the resilience to adapt to the cliff-hanging drama of the next crisis which could be worse than the one we're experiencing now.

The superficial and immediate solution is just to solve the customer’s problem. But when you think a little harder you can usually find a deeper solution: a way to prevent this particular problem from ever happening again.

Hyperlambda is twice as fast as Entity Framework

Aggregated on: 2021-10-24 12:17:50

I remember when .Net originally came out some 20 years ago and Microsoft had created a website called "pet shop" or something, where they were able to "prove" that .Net and SQL Server was faster than the Java and Oracle equivalent. Of course, the Java version was built using Java's best practices at the time, while the .Net version was almost in its entirety implementing 100% of its business logic in stored procedures. Needless to say of course, but this was a ridiculous comparison, since no (sane) human being would put that much business logic into stored procedures. When we do benchmarks, it's important that we measure best practices, and typical usage. Benchmarking anti patterns and stored procedures tells us nothing about the development model we typically see out there as we actually start using the thing. It is also important that we are able to isolate the library we are measuring as much as possible, to avoid measuring irrelevant things. In this article I will provide you with Entity Framework example, typically resembling the type of code you'd see being used out there, against the typical Hyperlambda equivalent. Watch me run you through the code below.

Technical Sharing: Apply Configuration Changes on Milvus 2.0 Using Docker Compose

According to the introduction on the official website, Milvus 2.0 seems to outmatch its predecessors by a large margin. I was so eager to try it out myself. And I did. However, when I truly got my hands on Milvus 2.0, I realized that I wasn’t able to modify the configuration file in Milvus 2.0 as easily as I did with Milvus 1.1.1. I couldn’t change the configuration file inside the docker container of Milvus 2.0 started with Docker Compose, and even force change wouldn’t take effect. Later, I learned that Milvus 2.0 RC was unable to detect changes to the configuration file after installation. And future stable releases will fix this issue.
