Have you ever heard of Node.js async hooks module? If the answer is no, then you should get familiar with it. Even though it’s new stuff (released along with Node.js 9) and the module is still in experimental mode, which means it’s not recommended for production, you should still get to know it a bit better. In short, Node.js async hooks, more specifically the async_hooks module, provides a clear and easy-to-use API to track async resources in Node.js.
Kubernetes refers to an open-source platform managing containerized service. This portable system simplifies automation and configuration. You can link an app in a Kubernetes cluster and connect it to IBM Cloud Kubernetes service through the VPN. In this article, we will focus on why your kubernetes pod stays in pending state.
Last week was kind of crazy. Apple announced the public release of iOS14 on the day before triggering a major Twitter-meltdown among developers. Thanks to the quick response of our team, just under 20 hours later we were able to release the new Xcode 12 stack on Bitrise.
In this video, we are going to take a look at what memory bloat is, what causes it, and how you can use Scout to eliminate it from your applications. Memory related performance issues have the potential to bring your entire application down, and yet, most APMs completely ignore this fact and fail to provide any useful way of monitoring memory usage at all.
Most modern applications today are being designed as a set of microservices with each service running as an independent application. This simply implies that one large application is broken down into small Apps running independently and only communicating with each other. This of course makes it much easier to build and maintain Apps but also offers way more value when combined with containerization technology.
By combining custom errors, named functions and Bugfender, you can create a robust error-handling process that allows you to immediately identify the defects of your JavaScript apps. Unhandled JavaScript errors will stop the execution of your script, leaving the application in an undesired state – or, even worse, in an unknown state. So you need a robust error-handling process to avoid unknown errors in your apps. But, why are errors thrown anyway?
There are a few ways to effectively configure HTTPs for an Nginx Docker Container. In this guide, we will quickly cover configuration through the use of free certificate authority Let’s Encrypt. For plenty of people, using Let’s Encrypt to configure HTTPS for an Nginx docker container is a good option. A paid version like Comodo’s SSL certificates may make more sense if you want to increase the security of your site and server.
Over the recent years, software development organizations have seen a major shift in where they build and run their applications. Teams have transitioned from building applications that run exclusively on-prem to microservices applications that are built to run natively in the cloud. This shift gives businesses more flexibility as well as quick and easy access to enterprise services without the need to host costly applications and infrastructure.
If you’ve ever used Ruby on Rails, you’ve probably come across the concept of concerns. Whenever you jumpstart a new Rails project, you get a directory app/controllers/concerns and app/models/concerns. But what are concerns? And why do people from the Rails community sometimes talk badly about them?
One of the Scout’s key features is its ability to quickly highlight N+1 queries in your application that you might not have been aware of, and then show you the exact line of code that you need to look at in order to fix it. In this video, we will use a Ruby on Rails application as an example, but the same concepts apply to other popular web frameworks.
It's easy to get lost in today's continuously changing landscape of cloud native technologies. The learning curve from a beginner's perspective is quite steep, and without proper context it becomes increasingly difficult to sift through all the buzzwords. If you have been developing software, chances are you may have heard of Kubernetes by now. Before we jump into what Kubernetes is, it's essential to familiarize ourselves with containerization and how it came about.
Most of our blog posts are dedicated to Android, iOS and JavaScript development because those are the most interesting platforms for our users. However, from time to time, we also think it’s important to share what’s happening behind the scenes. In this post we’ll be highlighting some of the recent improvements we’ve made to Bugfender’s infrastructure.
More and more companies are beginning to turn to Development and the cloud as a way to improve their software teams. Whilst it used to be that development and operations were seen as separate, that view has now changed. Linking the two leads to better communication, faster development times, and the ability to stay on top of things.
Kicking off our Ask Me Anything series, Bitrise Sales Engineers Damien Murphy and Tamas Bazsonyi answered questions about new features, roadmap plans, and shared some of the tricks&tips on using Bitrise like a natural.
Stackify Retrace pricing is changing. We’re moving away from our old device-based billing to a modern usage-based billing. This means you’ll pick a plan based on the exact amount of projected logs and performance traces you collect and nothing more. You’re probably wondering why and what’s in it for me. Stackify has one core belief that has guided us since our inception and will never change.
For many freelancers and small business owners, moving from consulting or freelance development work to operating a SaaS product is the Holy Grail. That makes sense: running a SaaS scales better and makes for a stable income. While there’s no guaranteed path to success, here’s what we learned taking AppSignal from a “20% time side-project” to a business serving thousands of developers around the globe. This article isn’t a blueprint.
When you're deciding on a technology to use for your project, it helps to have a broad understanding of your options. You may be tempted to build a web service in Go for performance reasons - but what would that code actually look like? How would it compare to languages like Ruby or JS? In this article, Ayooluwa Isaiah gives us a guided tour through the building blocks of go web services so you'll be well-informed.
Node.js Enterprise (N|Solid) is now available for Windows 10 🎉. With N|Solid v4 we reimagined some of the runtime’s internals. This not only introduces support for Windows 10 (BETA) but lays the groundwork to provide the most performant, secure and observable version of Node.js in scaled production anywhere.
Page loading speed is the total length of time that it takes for a website to load completely. With regard to effective SEO, page loading speed is crucial. If your website does not load quickly, visitors to your site are likely to leave rather than wait for it to load, and search engines will penalise your site’s rank if it performs poorly.
Kubernetes and Docker each play a vital role in modern, microservices-based application development. Since Kubernetes and Docker work in unison to help develop, deploy, and manage large-scale applications – they are not mutually exclusive technologies and they are certainly not in competition with each other. Nevertheless, Kubernetes and Docker are often misunderstood by the non-developer community. To clear up the confusion around Kubernetes vs. Docker, we’ve written this guide.
Node.js application developers, in the ever-evolving business landscape, enjoy tangible advantages while incorporating microservices in Node.js apps development. The microservice architecture, or microservices, is a distinct method of software systems development, which attempts to create modules that are single-function, with well-defined operations and interfaces.
As the world keeps spinning and technology keeps progressing ever-further, a lot of focus is being put on optimizing productivity. However, there is an aspect that is being overlooked: adaptivity. Being adaptive as an organization has become critical. It’s not just about your organization, but about helping your clients to be fluent and adaptive as well. In our experience, this means helping the user to get the best experience possible.
You asked, we listened ❤️ From now on, you have the option to store your bitrise.yml file in your Git repository where you can review and manage previous versions.
The “as a service” business model continues to grow rapidly, largely thanks to the rise of cloud computing. “As a service” offerings deliver IT products and technologies such as software, hardware, and data storage to consumers via the Internet, rather than having to install or manage them themselves. Serverless and containers are two such “as a service” technologies that have seen increasing adoption in recent years.

NodeJS is a server-side platform that’s built on the JavaScript Engine (V8 Engine) of Google Chrome. It’s an open-source, cross-platform runtime environment for JavaScript code execution outside the browser. The platform, being event-driven, works on a non-blocking I/O model, making it lightweight and effective in building web applications. With the platform, you could simultaneously run code on the client and server side, hastening the development process.
