Hardware offloading in software-defined networking

Increasing demands on computer hardware means higher demand for network technology. Unfortunately, computer systems remain largely inefficient, with the CPU serving as the key engine in a variety of computer applications. To solve this problem, one could take various approaches: use a bigger computer, distribute the software between different computers, or improve its performance. In this article, we'll show you how a higher-end computing device can reduce CPU usage and the costs associated with hardware.

Best practices for Python code quality — linters

When developing and maintaining software, code quality is of paramount importance. Being confident that code is readable and therefore easier to maintain and more efficient not only makes it easier for developers to work together, but also significantly reduces the likelihood of errors. One effective way to maintain high quality and at the same time ease of use is to use Python linter tools. These tools are helpful in ensuring Python code is clean, consistent and error-free, resulting in a streamlined development process and a better final product.

Embracing Tox: a powerful automation tool for Python projects

Python has become a popular choice among developers thanks to its versatility, readability, and vast library ecosystem. However, as with any programming language, these projects can become complicated, especially when you need to support multiple Python versions and various dependencies. This is where tox steps in as a powerful automation tool to streamline your project's testing, building, and deployment processes. In this blog post, we'll explore what tox is, the problems it solves, its capabilities, how it's used to automate and standardize testing, and how you can integrate it into your CI/CD pipeline.

11 software development KPIs you should measure to succeed with your product

Software development is a complex process that requires a lot of effort to successfully launch a new product. Hoping for the best might be risky. That is why it is important to measure the right key performance indicators (KPIs) to meet project requirements, satisfy your clients or measure your own goals within a software company. By monitoring KPIs, you can identify areas of improvement and make better data-driven decisions. In this article, we will discuss software development KPIs that you should measure to achieve the best results.

25 backend tools to facilitate web development

We all know that appearance matters. However, when it comes to web applications, it is definitely not enough. Your end users might come for the beautiful layout and intuitive interface, but if your application is slow, full of errors, or crashes often, you won’t be able to retain clients. That is why in software development, it is important to pay equal attention to both the backend and frontend of your application. In software, the backend is everything that makes the app work behind the scenes. It connects the frontend, that is, the user-facing part of the application, with the database, where the data is stored.

Microservices vs. monolith: choosing the best for your project

There is a widespread but misguided belief that the quality of the code defines whether or not a mobile or web application can be successful. The truth is, your app can have the most brilliant code in it and still be too slow or outdated for the customers. It is the architecture, the way your app is designed and built, that influences the user experience most of all. Architecture can quite literally make or break your application. Historically, applications were designed according to monolithic architecture principles.

What is test-driven development? Meaning, tests, and benefits

Do you want to deliver software faster and of better quality? Sure, everyone wants to. We know a methodology that will help you achieve that goal. The method is test-driven development (TDD), focusing on testing the first approach. In this article, you’ll learn what test-driven development is, its process, and also some pros and cons to give you a full understanding of TDD. Test-driven development concentrates on building unit test cases as a first step of coding new feature functions. In this iterative approach, you mix the traditional order of unit tests, refactoring, and programming.

Why is Rust programming language so popular?

Rust was created to ensure high performance similar to that offered by C and C++,but with emphasis on code safety, the lack of which is the Achilles heel of these two languages. However, Rust has more than just memory safety on its side. High performance while processing large amounts of data, support for concurrent programming, and this together with an effective compiler are other reasons why well-known software heavyweights now use this programming language. Firefox, Dropbox, Cloudflare, and many other companies from startups to large corporations use Rust in production.

Git commands with examples. A guide for developers

There are many ways to use Git repositories. You can install a plugin in your IDE, you can use Web UI or you can install a dedicated application only for working with Git. But it is a good idea to become friends with the Git command line tool. It is the most flexible tool that allows you to do all the things you can do with the above-mentioned tools and even more! In this blog post I will show you Git commands that help you to start working with Git command line tools and eventually become best of friends.
