Unlocking the value of data is a primary goal that AWS helps our customers to pursue. In recent years, an explosion of intelligent devices have created oceans of new data across many industries. We have seen that such devices can benefit greatly from the elastic resources of the cloud. This is because data gets more valuable when it can be processed together with other data.

Anybody can write code that will work for a few weeks or months, but what happens when that code is no longer your daily focus and the cobwebs of time start to sneak in? What if it's someone else's code? How do you add new features when you need to relearn the entire codebase each time? How can you be sure that making a small change in one corner won't break something elsewhere?

As some of you might know, before I started developing cross platform mobile applications using Ionic Framework and NativeScript, I was developing Android applications using nothing more than the Android SDK and Java. I still have one of my first applications, SQLTool , for sale in Google Play, and it was written with Java and Android.

Not every feature needs to scale. It’s a little ironic to have those words coming from me since I’ve spent most of my time making applications scale.

Those users will be unable to use the product.

Historically, telco analytics have been limited and difficult. Telco networks and the systems that support those networks are some of the most advanced technology solutions in existence. The performance requirements for telco networks are staggering – the ability to process millions of transactions per second, the ability to manage billions of events per day, and the ability to manage tens of millions of devices simultaneously – and to do so without any perceptible downtime.

SQL Server According to Bob

I ran into a scenario showing my session as suspended , awaiting command and blocked ! My first thought was that this had to a bug. As many of us have documented, for years, a sleeping, awaiting command, session is a session waiting on the client to submit a TSQL command to the SQL Server. The client must send a command to SQL Server or the SQL Server status is ‘awaiting command’ for the session.

Not too long ago I wrote a guest post regarding push notifications with the Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) service at the Telerik Developer Network. While that previous article was directly related to using FCM within a NativeScript application, it followed all the same rules that are required for any mobile development platform. There is a catch, however.
