MongoDB is a NoSQL database. Along with optional schema, this cross-platform database uses JSON-like documents for data storage. MongoDB was created for automatic scaling, high performance for high persistence data use cases, and high availability. If you need a massive scale or rapid prototyping for documented oriented use cases then MongoDB is an ideal pick for you. Of course, the massive scale will bring in massive traffic too. And the bigger the size of the data, the more challenges you have to face running your app or with its infrastructure. Therefore, you need a tool that can monitor the entire database for potential issues and when one arises, you are notified immediately. Hence, in this article, we are going to look at some of the best MongoDB monitoring tools that can aid you in running database instances and clusters without any kind of surprises. Best MongoDB monitoring tools Datadog Datadog is a comprehensive SaaS monitoring solution with capabilities of monitoring ... Continue reading →

It has been observed that Agile teams overall tend to be 25% more productive in comparison to the non-agile teams following all other methodologies, especially the ones which never follow agile fashion. As a result, more and more businesses are found switching towards agile software development methodologies across the globe. First and foremost, let us get the basics right. What is an Agile Methodology? For those who don’t know, Agile methodology is basically a project management approach or a way or strategy to conduct a successful development project by prioritizing cross-functional collaboration and continuous improvement. Basically, no matter how small or large the software development project is, it is supposed to be divided into smaller phases, teams or segments, ensuring absolute planning, execution, and evaluation. The ultimate objectives of agile methodology is are as follows: Focus more on individuals and interactions instead of processes and tools Simply work on the ... Continue reading →

Modern software programming languages (like C# and VB.NET) utilize a human-friendly syntax that is not directly understandable by computers. Software commands in this human-friendly syntax are referred to as Source Code. Before a computer can execute the source code, special programs called compilers must rewrite it into machine instructions, also known as object code. This process (commonly referred to simply as “compilation”) can be done explicitly or implicitly. Explicit Compilation Explicit compilation converts the upper level language into object code prior to program execution. Ahead of time (AOT) compilers are designed to ensure that, the CPU can understand every line in the code before any interaction takes place. Implicit Compilation Implicit compilation is a two-step process.  The first step is converting the source code to intermediate language (IL) by a language-specific compiler. The second step is converting the IL to machine instructions. The main ... Continue reading →

Mostly, programmers develop their applications using high-level programming languages that are human-readable. Using that, developers create the primary logic that the app has to perform. Since the code is in human-understandable language, developers have to be skilled in understanding how programming is done and be clear with the logic part. Typically, developers write the source code & send it to the machine for execution. Now, as this code is written in a programming language, it’s not in the machine-understandable form. Hence, it further needs to be compiled into different languages that machines can understand.   JIT- Just-in-Time Compiler Compilers are the platforms used for translating the source code into machine-understandable language. In the .NET framework, the Common language runtime provides one compiler that converts the source code into MSIL- Microsoft Intermediate Language. However, MSIL cannot be used in the machine. It then needs to be translated into ... Continue reading →

To enable frontend developers to communicate with both the frontend and backend simultaneously, Angular was developed. AngularJS was the name of the framework up until 2016. This was quite useful then, especially since the backend was often developed using a distinct group of developers because it was typically written in a different language, such as C# or Java. With the introduction of SPAs, Angular gained even more strength, and other rival frameworks emerged, such as Microsoft’s Blazor. With the help of the web framework Blazor, components and SPAs may be created by combining C# with HTML and CSS. It was created on the.NET platform, utilizing all of Microsoft’s framework’s capabilities on both the client and the server sides. What is Blazor? Developers may build C# code for browsers using the Blazor web framework for Microsoft’s ASP.NET Core. Blazor is built on established web standards like HTML and CSS, but instead of requiring developers to use ...

The angular framework was developed for developers to connect both the backend and front end simultaneously. The popularity of this framework was untouched until 2016. It was mainly used when developers used backend languages like Java or C#. Meanwhile, with the increasing development of Single Page Apps, the Angular framework got more popular. However, to divide the load, another rival framework emerged- Blazor. With using Blazor web framework, SPAs, and components may be developed with the combination of HTML, CSS, along with C#.   Angular- A Brief Overview For enabling easy communication between the backend and frontend developers, the Angular framework was created using Google. It is also the replacement of AngularJS. There are various resources present because Angular is developed on JS and TypeScript. Opposite to Blazor, this framework has been in use for a while. Additionally, it’s a production-ready framework that has the full support of MVVM/MVC projects and many ... Continue reading →

Software Composition Analysis was prompted after the launch of the open-source manual scanner. Organizations would use it to ... Continue reading →

Why is there a need for custom software development in the first place? To fulfill specific needs and requirements that can sooner or later enhance the business and assist well in staying above its competitors. To proceed successfully, being adaptive to the new concepts is the key. Of course, you can not and should not expect one software to address multiple needs at the same time but taking care of a few can be a good start. The only concern is that your software developer must be able to take care of specific needs and requirements. Also, it has to be the best in regard to flexibility, robustness, and scalability. Defining Custom-Built Software So what exactly is custom-built software? Custom software is like any other software designed or built to meet specific needs and requirements, but these types of software are different from off-the-shelf software.
