Creating an MVP for a Network Application

Nowadays, there is broad competition in the market. To grab customers’ attention and to stay afloat, businesses need to find a product-market fit in the shortest possible time. A minimum viable product helps to achieve that. This article will focus on the purpose of a minimum viable product, what is the bare minimum when it comes to MVP, why an MVP matters while developing network applications, and finally – how to create a successful MVP. A minimum viable product (MVP) is the first version of a product that is ready to launch.

Software development roadmap — what do you need to know?

How can you properly develop software without a plan? Probably, no entrepreneur has an answer for that question. Why? Because there is none. Every product needs a defined strategy, key priorities, workflow, clear responsibilities and division of tasks. A software development roadmap brings all these together in one place. Let’s look at what a software roadmap is, the different roadmap types, how it can benefit the project, and how to create a successful roadmap. A software roadmap helps to provide a high-level plan and overview of the software development progress and the product's goals.

Proof of concept vs. prototype: know the difference

Every business is looking for new products to increase competitiveness and market share and meet the market’s most pressing needs. Companies want to create novel customer experiences, boost business growth, and launch new business initiatives. However, each well-designed item of software, before the product launch, should be validated with real-world users to verify the business concept. This is possible through a POC (proof of concept) and a product prototype. What are they? How are they different? A POC is an approach that allows businesses to validate the feasibility of new ideas.

How memory types affect DPDK application performance — case study

In this blog post, I will describe a problem encountered while working on a project involving GPU usage in network traffic processing (knowledge of GPU programming won’t be required as it will quickly become apparent that the problem is more general and the GPU can be eliminated). I will describe the steps that helped me in locating and fixing the problem – practical methods used for DPDK profiling and debugging. Also, I will describe some low-level internal DPDK mechanisms (e.g. packet processing, IOMMU, hugepages usage and impact) that helped in understanding the issue.

What is a proof of concept and why do you need one?

A proof of concept (PoC) is sometimes seen as an unnecessary waste of budget. And this is a great mistake that can cost you big time. Even the most brilliant idea needs to be reviewed, and a PoC is a perfect, cheap solution for that. In this article, you will find more information on why a PoC deserves your time and attention and how it can help you save time and money before you start to spend big. A proof of concept is the first step in the software development process after the product’s general idea is developed.

Rust projects — why large IT companies use Rust?

Choosing the right technology for the project is not an easy decision and depends on many factors. If a programming language does not meet the application’s requirements, the project can fail. Nobody wants to lose time and money because of a rash decision. More and more, Rust is an option on the table, but many enterprises prefer to keep it at arm’s length. Why? This technology is younger than well-known, older veterans like C and C++ and has not had enough time to prove itself. Read the article to check out what is Rust used for in IT and how other large IT companies use Rust lang in production and why you also should be ready for it.

MobX in React — Scalable State Management

MobX in React – using the MobX library in React-based applications – was the first part of our tech talk in which our principal frontend engineer covered the basics. This first video covered topics like what MobX is, how it works, how to use it outside React, and how MobX can be integrated with React components. The next episode focuses on reviewing types of states in Single Page Application (SPA), how to scale SPA using dependency injection with the react-ioc library and what benefits it offers, and points out the areas for MobX.Everything to provide you with knowledge about the best state management for React, and scalable state management in MobX.
