Applications nowadays are distributed as microservices all over the cloud. Organizations use Kubernetes to manage these applications at scale, which has brought great flexibility and agility for development teams. However, microservices and multicloud applications have given rise to new challenges. Now, it is harder to configure communication between distributed services and secure the data in transit.

Honestly, I started writing this article, for no real reason and somewhat without context, in December 2022—over half a year ago! But, I left it in _drafts/ until today, when a genuinely compelling scenario came up that gives real opportunity for explanation. It no longer feels like trivia-for-the-sake-of-it thanks to a recent client project. I never thought I’d write an article in defence of DOMContentLoaded , but here it is… For many, many years now, performance engineers have been making a co

Software testing is the demonstration of looking at the relics and the way the product behaves under test by approval and check. A business can appreciate and comprehend the risks of implementing software by receiving an objective, independent view of the software through software testing. Although it is possible to determine the correctness of software by assuming certain hypotheses, software testing cannot identify all software failures.

From time to time, situations occur where unusual circumstances dictate out-of-the-box thinking. For example, suppose you have a system where you’ve installed multiple data clusters onto a single host. What you end up with is a host breaking up and sharing valuable system resources, i.e., CPU, RAM, disk, etc., between multiple instances of PostgreSQL data clusters.

A few months ago, I wrote about some experiments with prime numbers. I generated a 16-digit non-prime number by multiplying two 8-digit prime numbers, and asked ChatGPT (using GPT -3.5) whether the larger number was prime. It answered correctly that the number was non-prime, but when it told me the number’s prime factors, it was clearly wrong. It also generated a short program that implemented the widely used Miller-Rabin primality test.
