Design & Engineering
Nowadays, especially in the IT world, many things need to be continuous. You might have heard of Continuous Integration, Continuous Deployment or Continuous Delivery; in fact, a lot of IT vendors are adopting them. But are these only yet more buzzwords without any real value?
AWS is a cloud computing platform with services galore. One of the most common is AWS Lambda — a serverless solution that allows us to run any application using event-driven triggers. In this article, I described how we can test and develop AWS Lambda solutions whose execution is based on the S3 trigger created with the Chalice framework.
Good design is invisible and dateless. It does not have to prove anything to anyone. Perhaps it is worth rising above the Western chaos to look at the seven principles of Zen aesthetics and search for universal, timeless values that can be transferred to software engineering.
Even if you’ve never used them before, these tools are what separates professionals from amateurs. And if you happen to be looking for code style guides for Python that are based on what is written in the official language documentation, you’ll be delighted to try them out in your own project.
Docopt, setup.py and ConfigParser save time during development and I’ve been using them continuously since I used them for the…
Sadly, poorly modeled (mostly due to bad communication, incomplete knowledge transfer, or tight budget) logic inside the monolith usually leads to a so-called big ball of mud where every logical component is coupled with one another on a very low level.
In contrast, what modular monolith offers is loosely coupled, strong cohesion modules that lower the chance that the codebase will become unmaintainable. In the article, Kamil Kucharski, a backend team leader in Makimo describes an example of how to use such an approach in the Django framework.
