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.

Hardware offloading in software-defined networking

Increasing demands on computer hardware means higher demand for network technology. Unfortunately, computer systems remain largely inefficient, with the CPU serving as the key engine in a variety of computer applications. To solve this problem, one could take various approaches: use a bigger computer, distribute the software between different computers, or improve its performance. In this article, we'll show you how a higher-end computing device can reduce CPU usage and the costs associated with hardware.

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.

Embracing Tox: a powerful automation tool for Python projects

Python has become a popular choice among developers thanks to its versatility, readability, and vast library ecosystem. However, as with any programming language, these projects can become complicated, especially when you need to support multiple Python versions and various dependencies. This is where tox steps in as a powerful automation tool to streamline your project's testing, building, and deployment processes. In this blog post, we'll explore what tox is, the problems it solves, its capabilities, how it's used to automate and standardize testing, and how you can integrate it into your CI/CD pipeline.

11 software development KPIs you should measure to succeed with your product

Software development is a complex process that requires a lot of effort to successfully launch a new product. Hoping for the best might be risky. That is why it is important to measure the right key performance indicators (KPIs) to meet project requirements, satisfy your clients or measure your own goals within a software company. By monitoring KPIs, you can identify areas of improvement and make better data-driven decisions. In this article, we will discuss software development KPIs that you should measure to achieve the best results.

25 backend tools to facilitate web development

We all know that appearance matters. However, when it comes to web applications, it is definitely not enough. Your end users might come for the beautiful layout and intuitive interface, but if your application is slow, full of errors, or crashes often, you won’t be able to retain clients. That is why in software development, it is important to pay equal attention to both the backend and frontend of your application. In software, the backend is everything that makes the app work behind the scenes. It connects the frontend, that is, the user-facing part of the application, with the database, where the data is stored.

Microservices vs. monolith: choosing the best for your project

There is a widespread but misguided belief that the quality of the code defines whether or not a mobile or web application can be successful. The truth is, your app can have the most brilliant code in it and still be too slow or outdated for the customers. It is the architecture, the way your app is designed and built, that influences the user experience most of all. Architecture can quite literally make or break your application. Historically, applications were designed according to monolithic architecture principles.
