There are three main types of telemetry data – often referred to as pillars of observability – that are typically gathered: metrics, logs and traces. Here we focussed on tracing which enables visualizations making it possible to understand the performance characteristics of a distributed system.
In the swiftly changing world of software development, the choice of programming language plays a crucial role. To emphasize this, our colleagues Lukas and Georg effectively developed a Microservice Architecture in Kotlin for one of the largest direct banks in Germany. With numerous years of expertise in Java, this project marked their most extensive exploration of Kotlin. Join them on their fascinating voyage as they explain why Kotlin proved to be a superior choice over Java.
This article compares different Kubernetes frameworks and evaluates their usability. It also features a youtube video of Senior Developer Josef Brandl having a talk on this subject.
Expiring certificates impose a continuous threat to service interruptions if they are not properly managed. In this article, Senacor Senior Developer Fabian Kohlmann presents a solution to monitor expiry dates of certificates directly inside the deployed applications using standard application monitoring frameworks.
KotlinConf finally took place again this year – and it was a blast! Our colleague Lukas was on site. Filled with many new insights and the motivation to get to know the Kotlin ecosystem better, he summarizes the workshops and conference talks he attended.
Writing clean code is an important part of modern software development. In this article, our colleague Moritz presents his favorite function “pipe” which helps him write clean code in Typescript projects.
Having multiple identities on a single computer, e.g.for private or work purposes respectively, can make it uncomfortable to work with Git. Our developer Markus tackled the problem and found a solution that he wants to share with the DEV community to also simplify their recurring Git interactions.
What makes a business case an artificial intelligence business case? What are the possible barriers to solving such AI cases? And how can they be skillfully circumvented? Morten gets to the bottom of all these questions.
Spring gilt als eines der bedeutendsten Java-Frameworks und spielt auch bei vielen Senacor-Projekten eine gewichtige Rolle. Daher machte sich eine Gruppe von Entwicklern zur diesjährigen Spring I/O Konferenz in Barcelona auf um sich aus nächster Nähe über die neuesten Entwicklungen und Ankündigungen zu informieren. Lienard fasst ihre Erkenntnisse und Erlebnisse zusammen. Sein Fazit: Eine klare Empfehlung für Konferenzbesuche.
Realizing that an application’s performance doesn’t meet the requirements and expectations causes severe problems. One question that in such cases often arises is: Should we have chosen a different backend framework? Fabian went out to tackle this question by testing several JVM frameworks on their performance capabilities. The candidates: Spring, KTOR, Vert.x, Micronaut and Node.
