In fact, seven of the ten most in-demand tech jobs are for developers—and none are for QA. . That’s a bit alarming, because the Flow Metrics of several Fortune 100 companies now practicing value stream management (VSM ) in their software portfolios have revealed an acute resource scarcity in QA. E*Trade isn’t alone.

As businesses grow and develop, the requirements that they have for their data platform grow along with it. But, much like any other software that allows for concurrent session usage, there are mutexes/semaphores in the code that are used to limit the number of sessions that can access shared resources.

There are many possible failure modes, and each exercises a different aspect of resilience. In the same way that we have moved from a few big software releases a year to continuous delivery of many small changes, we need to move from annual disaster recover tests or suffering when things actually break, to continuously tested resilience.

I've worked with quite a few companies for which long-lived software assets remain critical to day-to-day operations, ranging from 20-year-old ERP systems to custom software products that first processed a transaction way back in the 1960s. Several things stand out about these initiatives.

With all of this in mind, I thought improving the speed of my own version of a slow site would be a fun exercise. It’s inherently tied to everything we build and develop. As Chris likes to say, a front-end developer is aware. At the beginning of my development, I thought I might need certain assets or frameworks.

This post addresses some of the opinions around database benchmarking and gives the top 5 reasons why industry standard benchmarking is important and should be an essential foundation of your database engineering strategy. If you only test your own application (and if you have more than one application which one will you use for benchmarking?)

It describes the labs environment, DSLabs , developed at the University of Washington to accompany a course in distributed systems. Hence the DSLabs framework integrates model checking into a holistic distributed systems development environment (based on Java as the implementation language – it would be neat to see a Rust version!).

There aren't a lot of high cards we can draw, but playing them in the right combination offers us a strategy. For example, ghost code - code that is not commented out but will conditionally never be executed - is likely to be confused for real code in a reverse-engineering exercise.

Blue/green deployment for releasing software faster, safer. One of the several deployment strategies is the blue/green deployment approach: In this method, two identical production environments work in parallel. This allows the developer on-call to take swift action and fix the problem.

Software today is not typically a single program—something that is executed by an operator or user, producing a result to that person—but rather a service : something that runs for the benefit of its consumers, a provider of value. Its strategies for flow control are either stop-and-wait (i.e., Let’s dive into this concept for a bit.

Sometimes, this can be achieved with relatively minimal disruption, like when the products are highly distinct and can be developed fully in-parallel. Since then, Google Maps has become the foundation for many other innovations after being opened up to developers via APIs. This is often not the case, however.

Our straining database infrastructure on Oracle led us to evaluate if we could develop a purpose-built database that would support our business needs for the long term. Auto Scaling is on by default for all new tables and indexes. Ten years ago, we never would have imagined the lasting impact our efforts on Dynamo would have.

In software, reacting to unforeseen circumstances in real-time is not possible. The gap between defining business requirements and translating them into software needs to be minimised in order to prevent this category of problems. In the software system, we need to decide the business transaction boundaries aka DDD Aggregates.

A few months ago, we took a look at the pathologies of matrixed organizations : no focus, amateur management, and people waging turf wars to secure power that they can exercise without consequence. The technology organization - including software development - was shared across all products, with tech costs subsidized by the entire business.
