AWS is the #1 cloud provider for open-source database hosting, and the go-to cloud for MySQL deployments. As organizations continue to migrate to the cloud, it’s important to get in front of performance issues, such as high latency, low throughput, and replication lag with higher distances between your users and cloud infrastructure. While many AWS users default to their managed database solution, Amazon RDS, there are alternatives available that can improve your MySQL performance on AWS through

Dynatrace news. Threads enable your application to execute multiple tasks at the same time. This is why threads are often the source of scalability as well as performance issues. If your system is under high load, it can run into thread-locking issues that prevent upward linear scaling of your application. Another potential issue is that too many active threads waste CPU resources, either by over-utilization or by forcing the OS to schedule thousands of threads on a limited set of cores.

I seem to have a habit of writing about super powerful machines whose many cores are laid low by misuse of locks. So. Yeah. It’s that again. But this one seems particularly impressive. I mean, how often do you have one thread spinning for several seconds in a seven-instruction loop while holding a lock that stops sixty-three other processors from running.

I was chatting with some front-end folks the other day about why so many companies struggle at making accessible websites. Why are accessible websites so hard to build? We learn about HTML, we make sure things are semantic and — voila! @— we have an accessible website. During the course of conversation, someone mentioned the Domino's pizza legal case , which is perhaps the most public example of a company being sued because of a lack of accessibility.

A typical manual QA tester spends more than 50% of the time in testing the functionality of the application. A majority of time is spent in executing the same test cases multiple times for regression testing. If these repeatedly executed test cases can be automated, a lot of time and manual effort can be saved. What is Functional Testing? Functional Testing is concerned with verifying the functionality of all the features of an application under test(AUT).
