In this article, we’ll cover the key differences between APIs and microservices as answered by our contributors consisting of senior decision-makers and CTOs from technology companies around the world. One of the most popular ways to consume data from a web service is through a web application programming interface (API). By interface, we are referring to an agreement, or schema, that anyone using this API must abide by.
As developers, we’ve traditionally rooted out errors in our programs (we’ll call them bugs from now on if that’s ok) by using meaningful log statements. JavaScript has the famous console.log() method for that. But while log statements are good, they are less efficient than a tool that enables you to carry out step-by-step debugging. So in this article, we will learn how to use Google Chrome developer tools (also known as DevTools) to debug any JavaScript application effortlessly.
NodeSource is excited to announce N|Solid JS API! 🥳 With this new API you can use all the power provided by the N|Solid console and CLI using your own JavaScript code programmatically. In other words, now it is not necessary to listen to events from the console, but from your own code you can decide when to run a certain command under your chosen conditions.
One of the struggles developers face is how to catch all Python exceptions. Developers often categorize exceptions as coding mistakes that lead to errors when running the program. Some developers still fail to distinguish between errors and exceptions. In the case of Python application development, a python program terminates as soon as it encounters an unhandled error. So, to establish the difference between errors and exceptions, there are two types of errors.
Apple just introduced Apple M1, it’s new processor, along with their latest product versions. Back in June, when Apple had first announced the transition to Apple silicon, we applied for their Universal App Quick Start Program and, eventually, received an Apple Developer Transition Kit (DTK) so that we could try out our Rollbar-iOS and Rollbar.NET (via Xamarin) SDKs on the Apple new platform.
Are you planning moving to data-driven software management to keep on top of your quality assurance status, your security findings and development velocity? Thinking about building it yourself using Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana or maybe just using your Splunk instance for this? Read more to find out why this may or may not be a good idea.
During the course of execution, software programs accumulate several data objects that serve no purpose in the program and need to be let go. If not dealt with, they can keep eating up memory and significantly hamper performance. Garbage collection is the process of cleaning up all these useless data objects that continue to reside in memory. It frees up the corresponding RAM to make room for new program objects.
