The importance of a secure software development life cycle (SSDLC)

In today’s world, where technology plays an important role in many aspects of our daily lives, the software we use must be both innovative and secure. Unfortunately, many companies still view security as an obstacle in the development process. However, insecure software poses a significant risk to businesses. Even the most innovative feature will not bring much value to the product or its user if it's vulnerable to hacking. The solution to this problem is adopting a secure software development life cycle (SSDLC), a comprehensive approach to software development that puts security first in the process.

The popular open-source monitoring tools you should know

The foundation of any successful business is utilizing the most modern technologies for everyday tasks. Today you can’t run a company, no matter how big or small, with just phones and faxes anymore. You will need a wide network of servers, devices, and applications, even if your company is not involved in software development. Your company IT infrastructure may be physical or cloud-based, but in any case it has to run smoothly to facilitate employees’ performance instead of hindering it. It is a well-known truth that any problem is easier to fix if you notice it as early as possible, before it becomes aggravated.

Types of monitoring and observability data: categories and limitations

The monitoring and observability of current complex software solutions can be even more intricate than the solutions themselves. Not only do monitoring and observability software or service providers need to understand these complexities, but they also need to provide clear and efficient insights. One aspect of providing a view into the monitored system is through metrics. In this article, we will group them into two intersecting types to enhance understanding of monitoring/observability concepts and make the use of monitoring and observability tools easier.

A definitive guide to proof of concept vs. prototype in product development

Software development is one of the most competitive industries these days. Even if we look only at the applications, the numbers are staggering. There are tens of thousands of new apps released every month, and obviously, only a handful of them become successful. No matter how original the app concept might seem, a lot of considerations need to be taken into account before making the final decision to turn the concept into a working app. Both a proof of concept and a prototype are often mentioned among the most popular methods that help to determine if a product idea is viable and worth pursuing.

From idea to reality: the meaning of PoC in software development

Being optimistic about gaining support for an idea or project is not enough. Investors and stakeholders are typically pragmatic and require concrete evidence that business proposals can be viable and successful. This is where a proof of concept (PoC) comes in. A PoC demonstrates the core functionality or a key component of the planned software to demonstrate that it's feasible and likely to meet business goals. We’ve already thoroughly covered what a PoC is in one of our articles, but here we want to give a quick reminder.

Accelerating delivery: why CI/CD is important for your company

Every stage of the software development life cycle is important in its own way. However, we all know that it is when the code goes into a production environment that the price of an error becomes especially high. It doesn’t matter if it is the first release of your software or a new build with important updates, a serious bug can cost your company and your customers a lot of money. The solution for this might seem obvious: just carry out more thorough testing. But the longer you spend on testing, the more your customers will have to wait.

Why service mesh matters: understanding the benefits of microservices networking

Building applications as distributed systems, especially with microservices architecture, is quickly becoming the new norm of software development. Microservices, when used in the right situation, can ensure that your application will be easy to scale, update, and fix. If you aim to create a cloud-native app, then microservices are typically your best choice. However, when you start looking into distributed applications, one potential problem stands out, and that is the issue of communication between the multiple services in your application.

Communication in IT projects — practical tips and improvements based on real-life cases

In IT projects, sometimes the biggest challenge is not in the code. With a lot of professionals of different specialties and authority levels involved, the pressure to meet the client’s expectations, and limited time and resources, communication can easily become an issue. In this article, we want to share experiences working on a project with a client and the issues that we came across. See the improvements we made to make our communication more effective. At CodiLime, we have experience in various projects.

Understanding the Differences Between Proof of Concept vs. MVP

Once you have an idea for a product, you need to validate it. Proof of concept and MVP are well known ways to do that. They help you assess how you can develop the product, how it can be improved and whether it’s even worth your time and resources. However, MVPs and PoCs serve different purposes and are used in differing circumstances. Read the article to learn what they are exactly, the difference between them and when to use each of them. A proof of concept, or a PoC, is a way of validating a product’s feasibility.

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.
