In this article, you'll learn about N+1 queries, how to detect them with AppSignal, and how to fix them to speed up your Django apps significantly. We'll start with the theoretical aspects and then move on to practical examples. The practical examples will mirror scenarios you might encounter in a production environment. Let's get started!

The sed command in Linux is a stream editor and a versatile text-processing tool. It allows users to efficiently transform text by parsing and modifying data from files or input streams. Whether you need to replace words, remove lines, or handle patterns, sed simplifies repetitive tasks and boosts productivity. In this blog, we will explore the basics of sed command, understand its syntax, and share practical examples to show how it makes text processing easier.

It would be amazing if everything in the digital world happened instantly. Unfortunately, we don’t live in an ideal world, and most of the time we need to wait for things to happen. From loading a dynamic web page to processing data, even the best implementations can have delays. Some delays happen because of the time it takes to process and transfer data. Other delays are intentional and enable applications to present visuals or data more elegantly.

Government organizations are under pressure to deliver more efficient, transparent, and responsive services. Digital transformation is accelerating the pace of change. Public sector organizations that rely on manual processes can no longer keep up with the demands of modern governance. This is where workflow automation comes in. Automation is a powerful way to streamline operations, enhance service delivery, and improve decision-making.

By 1996, developers had already made Java popular for its friendly APIs and automated Garbage Collection, and they started using it widely in back-end systems. One problem, however, was that most of these systems needed the same set of standard capabilities – such as persistence, transaction integrity, and concurrency control – which the JDK lacked at that time. That, naturally, led to many home-grown, closed implementations.

AI has been making waves in all industries, including FinTech. Not hearing this for the first time? Well, we know how much you’re already aware about AI and its applications. But do you know to what extent AI is futurizing the FinTech world? You better not just read, take a look at what statistics say… ‍In 2023, AI in FinTech sector was valued at approximately 42.83 billion USD, increasing to 44.08 billion USD by 2024.

In modern applications, real-time interactions have become the norm. Users demand real-time communication in apps like chat platforms, collaborative tools, live streaming services, and games. WebSocket APIs provide an effective means of creating interactive real-time apps by allowing persistent, bidirectional communication between the client and the server.

Underwriting management is a delicate balance of speed and accuracy. If the underwriting ingestion and decision process is too slow, insurance companies risk losing customers to competitors. On the other hand, hasty underwriting decisions can lead to unprofitable risks in the portfolio. To tackle these challenges, many insurance companies have undergone modernization initiatives.

The world of software development is undergoing a huge transformation, due to the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI). AI-powered tools and methodologies are reshaping how we write, test, and deploy code, which is making our programming faster, more efficient, and more accessible. In this blog, we’ll explore the concept of code with AI, its applications, benefits, and its potential to redefine the future of technology. So, let’s dive in!

Hashing is a cornerstone of computer science, used extensively in data structures, cryptography, and distributed systems. Among various hashing algorithms, MurmurHash stands out for its speed, efficiency, and suitability for non-cryptographic applications. In this blog, we will delve into what MurmurHash is, when to use it, and how it compares to other hashing techniques, along with practical examples.
