In this third and final part of my series about production code upgrades in Elixir, we will look at what happens during an application upgrade. Let’s get going!

Picking the right performance testing tool can be a challenge. What should you look for and what is important? Performance testing is a phrase many developers have come across at some point, but what is it exactly? In simple terms, performance testing is a software testing practice used to determine stability, responsiveness, scalability, and most important, speed of the application under a given workload.

When searching for information or taking action through a public website, end users don’t want to be held back by cumbersome logins or identification requirements. Meanwhile, the organizations on the back end need to be able to quickly and easily create and scale these websites in response to spikes in usage, without compromising security or system performance. Addressing these pain points has been easier said than done—until development of low-code portals, that is.

Account-based marketing, or ABM, is more often used as targeted demand generation—not one-to-one marketing. In a 2020 study of more than 300 organizations worldwide, Forrester found that “a significant number of respondents claimed they were using an ABM approach but weren’t doing what we would consider the basics of ABM, such as working with sales.”1 ABM isn’t just about assigning one siloed team the responsibility of targeting and revealing high-potential prospects.

Google Analytics replaced views in Universal Analytics with data filters in GA4. Here is how to set up and use these filters.

Don’t worry. DevTestOps isn’t another new term to create turbulence in our IT and DevOps world. Similar to other topologies like DevSecOps, which emphasizes more on the “Sec,” or security matters, DevTestOps stresses the aspect of continuous testing and CI/CD in DevOps. At the same time, to uphold the culture of saying “no” to working in silos, the DevTest approach specifically aims to end the lasting bad blood between the development and testing teams.
