2023 has seen rapid growth in native-cloud applications and platforms. Organizations are constantly striving to maximize the potential of their applications, ensure seamless user experiences, and drive business growth. The rise of hybrid cloud environments and the adoption of containerization technologies, such as Kubernetes, have revolutionized the way modern applications are developed, deployed, and scaled.

Developers are increasingly responsible for ensuring the quality and security of code throughout the software lifecycle. Traditional tools and approaches, however, only allow debugging in pre-production environments. Debugging in production often requires shutting down services. This can disrupt the users of the running application, slow down the application’s performance, or even crash it altogether.

Specifically, we agree that one of the grand challenges of sustainable computing is matching electrical load with the availability of low-carbon electricity.

Restoring a MySQL database backup is a crucial task that can sometimes be time-consuming, especially for large databases. Monitoring the progress of the restore process is essential to estimate completion time and ensure everything is proceeding smoothly. In this blog post, we will explore two distinct and effective methods to calculate the percentage progress of the MySQL restore process.

According to Paul Scharre, Vice President and Director of Studies at the Center for a New American Security, a new industrial revolution has begun. In his latest book Four Battlegrounds: Power in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, Scharre argues that artificial intelligence (AI) is at the forefront of this wave of change. As machinery became ubiquitous during the Industrial Revolution, AI will touch every aspect of our lives and cause profound disruptions in the global balance of power.

The value of a prototype is in the insight it imparts, not the code being written. Prototyping lets us fail fast and cheap, or get the data to make a concrete decision on direction. It helps answer the question, "What happens if we try this?" Most significantly, prototyping provides us with the guardrails to safely and productively fail. Failure is an integral part of the process of learning.

Anyone who’s ever been involved with an operational incident knows action items are a likely outcome. Heck, they may be a post-incident demand. What those action items materially are, how important they are (perceived), how they get tracked, how they get resourced, and how they “morph” on their march to “completed” [sic] in the issue tracker… all of these become part and parcel of the story of a particular incident.

Debugging in C is the process of locating and fixing mistakes, bugs, and other problems in a C program. It involves detecting and correcting logical, syntactic, and runtime issues to guarantee the program works correctly.

Open source database architects usually do not implement business logic in their databases. This is in stark contrast to many commercial databases where this is a common practice. In the first case, all the heuristics are kept at the application layer, and the database has little or no effect on the data quality. The second case has the rules required by management are handled by the database itself, not relying on the software developers to be fully cognizant of rules.

An In-Place upgrade is where the binaries for 5.7 are replaced with the binaries for 8.0, and the upgrade is made to an existing instance. The Logical option is a new server that is loaded with the old data from a backup.
