Why is discovery research essential for your product?

One of the biggest mistakes while creating a new software product is neglecting discovery research. This fundamental part of product development can help you understand the market and create a product best-suited to customers' needs. This investigation process gives a deep understanding of what customers want, expect and worry about, therefore it will benefit users, the development team and the growing business. It makes the process of software development so much smoother. Discovery research, also called exploratory or generative research, is an investigation process designed to help understand users' needs.

FPGA in network solutions: benefits and usage examples

Silicon chips are a well-known and traditional resource often used in projects. However, sometimes they can be insufficiently flexible – here, the FPGA comes in. This solution is gaining popularity as FPGAs provide more options for customization. If you are looking for more information about FPGAs, their strengths, and in which types of projects FPGAs will work better than other solutions, this article provides the answers. We also offer examples of how we have used FPGAs in our clients’ projects. A small annotation: to better distinguish FPGAs from silicon chips, the term “silicon solution” is used in the article.

Handling L4/L7 traffic with Envoy proxy — Introducing Envoy

One of the most crucial qualities an experienced developer should have is knowing how to avoid reinventing the wheel. When creating a web application, there are a few common functionalities that you need to provide no matter what your application does or what technology you use. Usually you want your application to at least support: Secure connection (TLS), Authentication, High availability, Load balancing, Circuit breaking, Canary deployments, Observability, Rate limiting. In this blog post, I will tell you about Envoy proxy - a solution which will not only provide you with the functionalities described above but also with many other neat features.

Value Proposition Canvas — what is it and how to use it?

The beginning of developing any business model is to define our target group and the value that we want to deliver to this group. This is where the Value Proposition Canvas comes in handy as a tool that helps to analyze, design and above all, choose the right solution to meet the needs of the identified customers. In this article, you can find out everything you need to know about the VPC, its benefits and how it can improve your business. Essentially, the Value Proposition Canvas is a framework used to ensure that there is a fit between the product and its market.

MVP roadmap — your guide to a successful product

A minimum viable product is a tool often used by startups to reduce the risk of overspending in the early stages of software product development. MVPs are popular because the success or failure of a product on the market may depend on its quality and implementation. How do you ensure that your product's MVP will fulfill its purpose and lead your team to success? The answer is an error-proof plan. Find out everything you need to know about a minimum viable product and how to create and use an MVP roadmap to build a scalable, robust software product.

Improving ACL’s processing performance with GPU — comparison with VPP

In computer networks, with the development of new methods, some specific and well-known problems, at first small and manageable, in time grow and become much more difficult to solve. Then they require smarter algorithms, better hardware and a lot of computing power.Access Control List (ACL) processing is a great example of this. This problem has been well known in computer networks for several decades. Typically, ACLs were relatively small - a few dozen entries max - and were used for simple network traffic filtering.

FPGA programming — introduction guide to HDL

The notion of “FPGA programming” may be a little misleading. Actually, unlike a CPU, there is no program to run on an FPGA. FPGA programming consists of creating a logic circuit that will perform a requested algorithm and describe it using a hardware description language. Consequently, the building blocks of this algorithm are not variables, conditions and a set of operations to be performed, but rather logic gates, adders, registers and multiplexers. The described circuit will eventually be compiled into logic modules - the building blocks of FPGAs.

FPGA — what is it and how can it be used?

FPGA programming has been gaining momentum lately as it offers considerable benefits. It allows you to offload resource-hungry tasks to hardware and thus increase performance. FPGAs can be programmed and reprogrammed according to current needs, which is very cost effective in the long run. In this article, I explain what an FPGA is, how it can be programmed and how it can be used. A field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is an integrated circuit that can be programmed for a specific use after it has been manufactured.

What is software product development? Types, methodologies, and process

Software product development is a complex process that requires a lot of preparation. Without a proper step-by-step strategy, a project is most likely set for failure. To avoid that, you should choose the most suitable methodology and plan the process accordingly. Read on to learn everything you need to know about software product development. Software product development means creating a new product that meets particular market needs. It's a systemic, logical process that results in entirely new software or an upgraded version of an existing product.

What is CI/CD — all you need to know

The CI/CD process is now one of the essential paradigms in modern software development, oriented on delivery and quality. Continuous integration, continuous delivery, and continuous deployment benefit both software development and business. But what exactly stands behind the acronym CI/CD, and what is its added value? CI/CD stands for Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment or Continuous Delivery (CD). Although the basics of each are relatively similar, there are fundamental differences that define the key beneficiaries, and the results that can be achieved.

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?
