Comparing Loadero and testRTC for WebRTC testing

When it comes to WebRTC testing, there aren’t many feature-rich tools on the market. Loadero is one of those, testRTC is another widely known option, so we get questions about how those two compare frequently. To give a detailed answer to that question, we published this blog post in which we attempted to make a comprehensive comparison of the two tools.

OOP Concept for Beginners: What is Abstraction?

Abstraction is one of the key concepts of object-oriented programming (OOP) languages. Its main goal is to handle complexity by hiding unnecessary details from the user. That enables the user to implement more complex logic on top of the provided abstraction without understanding or even thinking about all the hidden complexity. That’s a very generic concept that’s not limited to object-oriented programming. You can find it everywhere in the real world.

What are CRUD Operations: How CRUD Operations Work, Examples, Tutorials & More

If you’ve ever worked with a database, you’ve likely worked with CRUD operations. CRUD operations are often used with SQL, a topic we’ve covered in depth (see this article, this one, and this one for some of our recent SQL tips and tricks). Since SQL is pretty prominent in the development community, it’s crucial for developers to understand how CRUD operations work. So, this article is meant to bring you up to speed (if you’re not already) on CRUD operations.

Java Logging Frameworks: log4j vs logback vs log4j2

If you ever had to analyze an issue in production, I’m sure you know how important it is to have good logging. Good logging requires three things: While you still need to decide yourself which log messages you should write for each use case, you don’t need to worry about requirement 2 and 3. Various logging frameworks already solved these technical requirements. You only need to choose one of them and use it to write your log messages.

Transaction Support Using Apache Phoenix

This video provides a short demo on Apache Phoenix transaction support in Cloudera Operational Database (COD). COD supports Apache OMID (Optimistically Transaction Management In Datastores) transactional framework. The transaction support in COD enables you to perform complex distributed transactions and run atomic cross-row and cross-table database operations. The atomic database operations ensure that your database operations must either be completed or terminated.

DataFinOps: More on the menu than data cost governance

IT and data executives find themselves in a quandary about deciding how to wrangle an exponentially increasing volume of data to support their business requirements – without breaking an increasingly finite IT budget. Like an overeager diner at a buffet who’s already loaded their plate with the cheap carbs of potatoes and noodles before they reach the protein-packed entrees, they need to survey all of the data options on the menu before formulating their plans for this trip.

Business Metric Strategies: How To Choose the Right Framework To Measure Success

Business metrics provide a quantifiable way to measure the success of a business. They help organizations to track their progress internally while also serving as a way to communicate the performance of a business to stakeholders and external parties.
