Most web applications use a data store of some kind, often a relational database. When a web app becomes successful, it can become all too easy to start "hoarding" data in the database. But hoarding data leads to the unbounded growth of database tables (both row count and stored data size). While this works fine to a certain point, it is very useful to prevent some data bloat — or, if you cannot prevent it, to plan for your infrastructure ahead of time to adequately manage growth.

In today’s world, tech and software possibilities are exponentially expanding. Whether it is the innovation of cloud-based storage or a solution to a very old problem, there is always something new coming out. While the innovation allows businesses to become more streamlined and optimized than ever before, integrating this new software into your business may be a challenging task.

For the last few months at work, I’ve been involved in quite a lot of data analysis work. Using monitoring tools such as Splunk the business has identified that a small portion of web and mobile users trying to access certain parts of their account details have been getting either extremely slow responses, or the calls are simply failing.

Python was created by Guido van Rossum in the early 90's and is an interpreted, high-level programming language that is used by coders of all types. It is a widely-used programming language because of its readability and the fact that it is easy to learn for novice programmers. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, functional, and imperative/procedural styles.

The moment you type something on a keyboard, read a file from a disk or download a file over the internet, a stream of information (bits) flows through different devices and applications. If you learn to work with these streams of bits, you'll be able to build performant and valuable applications. For example, think of when you watch a video on YouTube. You don't have to wait until the full video downloads.

ESG stands for environmental, social, and governance. ESG investing refers to the consideration of these three factors alongside financial factors in the investment decision-making process, according to MSCI. ESG has evolved over the years and has recently made headlines as consumers become more aware of the environmental and societal impact of their investments.

The Agile methodology has benefited software development for many years, enabling collaboration through an iterative process that speeds time-to-market and normally results in higher quality applications. But what is the Agile software development methodology? While it’s likely that most readers are already familiar with Agile, others may just be starting out in their development careers.
