The term “mobile app accessibility” is often applied to making apps accessible to people with physical disabilities. But what if accessibility could encompass diversity and inclusion as well?
There are dozens of software testing tools available in 2022 — and they’re not as similar as they may seem on the surface. To choose the right tool for your team, you need to carefully consider the technical skillset of your team and the complexity of the application you’re testing. In this article, we discuss four questions to consider in order to understand the differences between tools.
With all of the buzz around cloud computing, many companies have overlooked the importance of hybrid data. Many large enterprises went all-in on cloud without considering the costs and potential risks associated with a cloud-only approach. The truth is, the future of data architecture is all about hybrid.
The previous decade has seen explosive growth in the integration of data and data-driven insight into a company’s ability to operate effectively, yielding an ever-growing competitive advantage to those that do it well. Our customers have become accustomed to the speed of decision making that comes from that insight. Data is integral for both long-term strategy and day-to-day, or even minute-to-minute operation.
While Elixir is frequently associated with web development, this is not where its capabilities end. As a general-purpose language, it can be used for virtually anything. You don't have to take my word for it — projects such as Nerves, Nx, Scenic, or LiveBook speak for themselves. But today, we will focus on something different: writing a command-line application in Elixir and preparing it for distribution.
As engineers and architects, we automatically build resilience into platforms as far as possible. But what about the unknown failures? What about the unknown behavior of your platform? The philosopher, Socrates, once said “You don’t know what you don’t know”. What if I could tell you there is a way to turn these unknowns into knowns – a way to understand how your platform will behave to specific failure events…
By combining traffic replay capabilities from Speedscale with observability from Datadog, SRE Teams can deploy with confidence. It makes sense to centralize your monitoring data into as few silos as possible. With this integration, Speedscale will push the results of various traffic replay conditions into Datadog so it can be combined with the other observability data. Being able to preview application performance by simulating production conditions allows better release decisions. Moreover, a baseline to compare production metrics can provide even earlier signals on degradation and scale problems. Speedscale joined the Datadog Marketplace so customers can shift-left the discovery of performance issues.
