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.

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.

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.

The PoC concept for software testing automation

Introducing automation into any stage of the software development workflow has great potential. It can be exactly what your team needs to save a lot of time and effort, and, as a result, money. Test automation can arguably be especially beneficial, since covering all the test cases manually is non an optimal use of resources. But choosing the right automation tools for your software testing is not a quick and simple process. Testing tool evaluation without a PoC can take weeks and at the end you might still get a tool with certain limitations that won’t make it the right fit for your project.

The importance of a secure software development life cycle (SSDLC)

In today’s world, where technology plays an important role in many aspects of our daily lives, the software we use must be both innovative and secure. Unfortunately, many companies still view security as an obstacle in the development process. However, insecure software poses a significant risk to businesses. Even the most innovative feature will not bring much value to the product or its user if it's vulnerable to hacking. The solution to this problem is adopting a secure software development life cycle (SSDLC), a comprehensive approach to software development that puts security first in the process.

The popular open-source monitoring tools you should know

The foundation of any successful business is utilizing the most modern technologies for everyday tasks. Today you can’t run a company, no matter how big or small, with just phones and faxes anymore. You will need a wide network of servers, devices, and applications, even if your company is not involved in software development. Your company IT infrastructure may be physical or cloud-based, but in any case it has to run smoothly to facilitate employees’ performance instead of hindering it. It is a well-known truth that any problem is easier to fix if you notice it as early as possible, before it becomes aggravated.

Types of monitoring and observability data: categories and limitations

The monitoring and observability of current complex software solutions can be even more intricate than the solutions themselves. Not only do monitoring and observability software or service providers need to understand these complexities, but they also need to provide clear and efficient insights. One aspect of providing a view into the monitored system is through metrics. In this article, we will group them into two intersecting types to enhance understanding of monitoring/observability concepts and make the use of monitoring and observability tools easier.

A definitive guide to proof of concept vs. prototype in product development

Software development is one of the most competitive industries these days. Even if we look only at the applications, the numbers are staggering. There are tens of thousands of new apps released every month, and obviously, only a handful of them become successful. No matter how original the app concept might seem, a lot of considerations need to be taken into account before making the final decision to turn the concept into a working app. Both a proof of concept and a prototype are often mentioned among the most popular methods that help to determine if a product idea is viable and worth pursuing.

From idea to reality: the meaning of PoC in software development

Being optimistic about gaining support for an idea or project is not enough. Investors and stakeholders are typically pragmatic and require concrete evidence that business proposals can be viable and successful. This is where a proof of concept (PoC) comes in. A PoC demonstrates the core functionality or a key component of the planned software to demonstrate that it's feasible and likely to meet business goals. We’ve already thoroughly covered what a PoC is in one of our articles, but here we want to give a quick reminder.
