Building Serverless Apps with the AWS CDK Using TypeScript

The AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) lets you build serverless applications with the expressive power of a programming language like TypeScript. The CDK defines cloud infrastructure in code and deploys via AWS CloudFormation. In this post, we will build a Lambda function, an AWS Gateway API, and an S3 bucket to upload CSV files. The API will take requests in JSON and seamlessly convert them to CSV format. We will use the AWS CDK in TypeScript to reliably deploy our app through AWS CloudFormation. Ready?

Demystifying Microfrontends: A Practical Approach with React and Module Federation

Microfrontends is a modern front-end architectural approach, by which web applications are segmented (or decomposed) into smaller self-contained units, allowing for easier management and scalability. You can our introduction article to Microfrontends to understand better this architecture approach. Today we’re going to provide a step-by-step guide to the process of building a real-world application using React and Module Federation.

The Advantages of Testing PRs in Software Development

Testing Pull Requests (PRs) in software development offers numerous advantages. It fosters collaboration among team members, minimizes errors, provides valuable learning opportunities, promotes transparency, and facilitates the onboarding process for new developers. Encouraging Collaboration: PRs promote open discussions regarding code changes, enabling developers to provide feedback, propose enhancements, and seek clarification before integrating new code.

Enhancing Node.js Core: Introducing Support for Synchronous ESM Graphs

Exciting news this week! One of the latest features in Node.js core is the addition of support for requiring synchronous ECMAScript Modules (ESM) graphs. This enhancement promises to simplify the transition for package authors and users alike, as the ecosystem gradually shifts towards ESM. This long-awaited feature, enabled via the --experimental-require-module flag, marks a pivotal moment in Node.js development, addressing a persistent pain point for developers.

Python Logging: The Complete Guide

In computing, logging involves maintaining a record of events within a computer system, encompassing issues, errors, or pertinent information about ongoing operations. These events can manifest within the operating system or other software, with each occurrence documented through the creation of a message or log entry. Logging is crucial for comprehending the application's behavior, aiding in the identification of unexpected issues, debugging, or merely monitoring events.

A comprehensive guide to PHP file operations

Everything you do when using computers is related to files and folders. The browser you're using to view this webpage is a file on your device, and this webpage is a file on this website's server, which means everything is a file one way or another. In this article, you will learn everything you need to know to build files and folder-related features in your PHP applications.

Measuring the DOM Namespace Reconciliation Performance Fix

This is the story of the manufacturing of seven-league boots for a function that is responsible for processing XML/HTML data in the PHP library. Optimizations in the PHP standard library, like here in ext/dom, have the potential to speed up the performance of applications significantly by an upgrade to the current PHP version.

Enabling Secure Data Exchange with Decentralized APIs

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but there’s a lot of data out there — and the amount is only growing. Estimates typically show persistent data growth roughly at a 20% annual compounded rate. Capturing, storing, analyzing, and actioning data is at the core of digital applications, and it’s critical for both the day-to-day operations and detecting trends, for reporting, forecasting, and planning purposes.

Best Practices for Enterprise Data Migration: A Comprehensive Guide

Enterprise data migration is a complex and critical process that involves moving large amounts of data from one system or platform to another. Whether it is due to a system upgrade, consolidation, or merger, enterprises must carefully plan and execute data migrations to ensure a seamless transition without any data loss or disruption to business operations.
