Essential monitoring metrics for better decision-making

Any company dealing with software development knows the importance of reliable infrastructure. Whether you have multiple environments for testing and production which are needed to allow your own teams to work without interruptions or you provide mobile or web services to customers, you will have to keep an eye on your systems. So it goes without saying, you will need a good monitoring system to make sure your systems and infrastructure keep performing as they should. But modern monitoring systems provide tons of raw data when the performance metrics are collected.

Python Nornir for simplifying network automation: code examples

Manual management and configuration can quickly become overwhelming and time-consuming. Whether we talk about deploying configurations, running commands across devices, or collecting and analysing traffic data, there is always a need to automate repetitive tasks, improve network scalability, and enhance overall efficiency. Let’s imagine someone is facing the daunting task of updating login banners on numerous Cisco devices or gathering essential data through a single show command. Many engineers can wonder about the most efficient methods to accomplish these objectives.

CSS vs. SCSS variables — main differences and use cases

This isn't going to be an article about the latest hot new feature. Both CSS and SCSS variables have been around for a long time. SCSS introduced variables in version 2.0 of SASS, released in 2010, and in CSS you’ve been able to use them since CSS3, all the way back in 1999. That being said, these are still powerful tools that can be used to complement each other. Let's talk about the similarities, differences and possible use cases. CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. It is a scripting language used to design and style web pages.

[interview] The modern art of data transformations — how data engineering unlocks information potential

By 2025, global data creation is said to exceed 180 zettabytes. In 2020, we had already consumed and created more than 64 zettabytes. These data carry information that can put any business ahead of its competition. But how to take advantage of data effectively and use it to improve products, services and meet modern customers' needs? In this interview, we'll discuss the importance of data engineering with Tomasz Jędrośka, Head of Data Engineering at CodiLime. Tomasz's role is to grow this relatively new division of the company and make sure it delivers competence synergies with our Networking, Cloud, and Security services and therefore extend further CodiLime’s competitive advantages.

How the rapid application development model helps boost your business growth

With rapid growth and teams starting to expand, businesses often see the need to improve and speed up software development processes. At some point, you need a solution that is cost-efficient, agile in nature, and low-to-no code because traditional development methodologies don’t cut it any longer. This is when rapid application development comes in. It focuses on developing rapidly through frequent iterations and continuous feedback. How to implement it properly? What are the advantages of such a methodology?

[interview] How to use data to navigate complex systems better? Talking about monitoring and observability.

In today's constantly developing technological landscape, businesses are looking for solutions that help them manage complex systems and ensure optimal performance. However, although 90% of IT professionals believe observability is important and strategic to their business, only 26% said their observability practice was mature. Why this difference? What are the reasons why businesses don’t manage to implement monitoring and observability at a high level? In this interview, we explore the significance of monitoring and observability - our guests Edyta Kałka, Senior Engineering Manager, and Maciej Manturewicz, Director of Engineering, will share their insights, real-world experiences, and opinions on how to create effective monitoring and observability solutions.

10 reasons why software projects fail

Software development serves as the foundation of technology adoption for various businesses. Especially in the last three years, with the pandemic, it has taken a front seat in most industries. However, do all software projects succeed? Of course not. However, there are a number of factors that can directly affect the chances of a project’s success. Failure can be attributed to various factors, including quality and scheduling issues. What else? Let’s dive deeper into it. If you are part of the IT industry, you have probably heard about many software project fail cases.

Best practices for a successful and secure software development life cycle (SDLC)

It’s not a secret that reaching any goal is easier when you have a clearly outlined plan. Knowing what exactly you are going to do and in what order gets you at least halfway on the road to success. This is especially true when it comes to such a complicated and multifaceted process as software development. If you strive to implement a workflow that is well-structured, iterative, and systematic, your web or mobile application development process becomes more efficient, transparent, and cost-effective.

Prototype vs. Final Product: key differences and similarities

Prototypes and final products hold distinct roles in the development process. In this article, we will delve into their differences, similarities, the dynamics between them, and the importance of incorporating a prototyping phase in your product’s development. Please keep in mind this article focuses on a product-centered approach. Prototype has a different meaning for backend development. Let’s start by understanding the concepts:A prototype is a preliminary version or early model of a product. In software development, a prototype is a digital simulation of an application or system, created to test the functionality, user experience, and to validate the design and interface.

Network Interface Card (NIC) Testing — the optimal environment setup

As we can see in Ethernet Alliance’s 2023 Roadmap, we can now use link speeds up to 400Gb/s. Speeds 800Gb/s and 1.6Tb/s are “in development” and 3.2Tb/s is marked as a “possible future speed” for the 2030s. Compared to 10Mb/s in the 1980s, now we have devices functioning 40,000 times faster! With such acceleration, Jules Verne’s “Around the World in Eighty Days” would be called “Around the World in 2.88 Minutes”. The goal you need to achieve during test environment preparation is that the tested network interface card (also called a NIC, network interface controller, or network adapter) will be a bottleneck in the hardware configuration.

We've previously explained how VPP processes packets in vectors as opposed to processing each packet end to end. But how is this processing spread across CPU cores? How exactly is a vector of packets structured?
