This vivid imagery is, perhaps, justified, given that almost 40 percent of organizations expect their data to grow by half or more every year, according to IDC […]

It’s been a while since the Tokio-based Rust Driver for ScyllaDB, a high-performance low-latency NoSQL database, was born during ScyllaDB’s internal developer hackathon. Since then, its development and adoption accelerated a lot. We’ve added many new features and published a couple of releases on crates.io. Along the way, we also stumbled upon a few interesting […]

15 language-agnostic, actionable tips on REST API design.

Developers increasingly will be able to reliably configure their environments to suit their needs without spending a week typing commands and editing files.

When data is readily accessible and available for developers, it presents many opportunities to optimize and interact with the built world.

In this first post in a series, we’ll examine the definition of DevOps and its purpose in an organization.

Automotive blogs are currently hullabalooing about the design of Polestar's new O2 concept, and rightfully so; it's a sexy-looking vehicle. (And it's got that onboard drone.) However, what was of far greater interest to me was the screentime Polestar gave in the release

By aggregating our data in an effort to simplify it, we lose the signal and the context we need to make sense of what we’re seeing.

Researchers at South Korea's Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) took natural silk fibers from domesticated silkworms to build "sustainable and environmentally-friendly security solutions.

What kind of code is considered low？

A conclusive answer to EdgeDB’s most frequently asked question: “What is a graph-relational database anyway?”

The new UCIe interconnect standard aims to make it easier to make and connect different types of silicon chiplets.

Distinguish similar concepts like a guru

With some databases now supporting versioning and checksums, and blockchains storing more types of data, are they on a path to merge?

For small-scale construction, chalk lines are an invaluable layout tool. For larger projects, chalk lines and tape measures won't cut it; imagine marking out where all of the booths go in a gigantic exhibition hall, or mapping out a series of sprawling structures on an empty lot. Hence Monsen Engineering

The ability to extend the Kubernetes API with custom resource definitions allows you to instruct Kubernetes to manage more than just containers.

Edgeless Systems is bringing a new idea to cloud native computing security: Confidential computing with Constellation, its Kubernetes confidential orchestration platform.

Today on the Day Two Cloud podcast we examine the role and responsibilities of Kubernetes operators; that is, the humans in charge of running Kubernetes. Kubernetes operators have to support application and security teams, handle capacity planning, keep an eye on versioning, and more. This episode is sponsored by F5's NGINX team. Our guests are Jenn Gile, Sr Manager of Product Marketing; and Brian Ehlert, Sr Product Manager.

There are 5 basic data structures in Redis: string, hash, list, set and zset. Each data structure requires a key object to access the…

In support of software packages that come in the form of a single binary executable (statically linked or portable), that one can just copy anywhere in `${PATH}` and execute, without needing `sudo`, or downloading half the distribution's packages as dependencies.

A CloudBolt Software survey revealed that 79% of orgs are struggling under the weight of managing multi-cloud computing environments.

In this episode of The Rabbit Hole, we are unpacking The Seven Wastes of Software Development! Dave and Michael break down the seven points as they appear in the book Implementing Lean Software Development by Mary and Tom Poppendieck and chat about their experience and thoughts on each.
