In every industry, leaders are facing the same reality: mission critical applications and databases can’t run on yesterday’s infrastructure. When core systems slow down, the entire business feels the drag from customer experiences to employee productivity to innovation velocity, VSP One is the chosen solution for many wanting to turn data strategy into business momentum. Here’s how two organizations turned their mission critical applications and databases into engines of innovation.

Every experienced developer has shipped code that worked during testing but later failed in production because critical execution paths were never tested. This is exactly why test coverage tools exist to uncover untested code, missed branches, and risky logic that traditional testing often overlooks. Without reliable test coverage, teams are forced to rely on assumptions rather than measurable evidence.

In today’s fast-paced digital environment, REST APIs have become the backbone of modern application development, powering seamless communication between clients and servers. For developers, understanding how to build efficient and scalable REST APIs is essential. This article unpacks the foundational steps of creating REST APIs using Node.js and Express, offering actionable insights for building dynamic server-side applications.

How does your Shopware 6 store’s PHP backend performance compare to other operators of Shopware in general? To answer this question, we have aggregated and anonymized performance data from over 200 Shopware 6 stores over the second half of 2025 and computed benchmark numbers to compare to for the most important page types: Product details, Category, Search, and Homepage. We previously made these benchmarks for 2025 Q1, and 2025 Q2. Going forward, these will be published every 6 months.

January 28th marks International Data Privacy Day, a day to raise awareness about the importance of privacy and promote best practices. Privacy has long been about maintaining control of your data, in particular where it goes, and who can see it, and what it’s used for. Two topics under this theme, data residency and data sovereignty, come up in almost every customer conversation at the moment. While closely aligned, there are key differences.

For gaming studios, the traditional manual testing and player beta period remains part of QA, but its limitations in the face of modern gaming’s scale and complexity can threaten a brand’s very existence.

Coding with artificial intelligence is not just a nice-to-have; AI applications in computer programming are becoming integral to modern computer programming workflows. Presently, two primary applications dominate the discussions in this area: GitHub Copilot and Cursor AI. While both applications provide faster coding times and fewer bugs, fewer bugs, and smarter code, they offer such features in extremely different ways.

There’s a particular kind of exhaustion that comes with traditional performance testing. You spend weeks building perfect load scenarios, run them overnight and wake up to a wall of red in your monitoring dashboard. Half your day disappears into log files, trying to piece together what went wrong. And just when you think you’ve got it right, a minor UI update breaks everything and you’re back to square one. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

As you build and manage data streams in Confluent Cloud, securing your interactions with its APIs is paramount.
