DevOps has taken a center stage in software development in recent years, with more and more software-powered organizations embracing it to outperform competition and stay ahead of the growth curve.DevOps is not a job or title or profession, but a cultural shift to unify development team (Dev) and IT operations team (Ops) to accelerate the delivery of a quality software, market it faster and maintain almost 100% up time. The software engineering culture of every company is different, and so does its way of adopting DevOps culture. However, no matter what DevOps strategy you adopt for your business, it must enable you to look at a bigger picture to keep pace with fast changing customer demands, provide innovative customer experiences and quickly respond to requests.How DevOps goes a Step Further from AgileAgile methodology is very well known in the software development world for making the software development process much faster and...

Application requirements have changed drastically in recent years. For any application to succeed in this era of cloud computing, big data and IoT, going reactive is increasingly becoming a norm.Today’s users embrace applications that have milliseconds of response time, 100% uptime, lower latency, higher throughput and scalability. However, these features are nearly impossible to achieve by using yesterday’s software architecture that enabled applications having tens of servers, long response time, hours of offline maintenance and gigabytes of data. There’s now a need for systems that are built for distributed environment, and which can deal effectively with petabyte of data and cloud-based clusters running thousands of multi-core processors.This is a major reason why many businesses are adopting Reactive Systems for building applications that provide high-end user-experience and help beat the competition.Let’s get into details of what Reactive Systems bring on the table for your application and how they work.Top Four Traits of... 
The world of finance is set for a big change. Two disruptive innovations, Cognitive Computing and Blockchain, have attracted some serious attention in the finance world for the potential they have showed to revolutionize finance industry. There’s also pressure mounting on financial institutions to adopt new technologies for more competence, new customer experiences and efficiency savings.Dutch bank ING, Dubai-based Emirates NBD and Deutsche Bank are among some financial services leaders which have already earmarked hefty amounts for strengthening their digital capabilities by using the power of cognitive computing and blockchain. The IBM Watson Platform has also created a lot of buzz to help remove the complexity of financial system by providing an “insight as a service.”How Cognitive Computing and Blockchain are Shaping the Future of Financial Services?Cognitive Computing, a term coined by IBM, simulates the functioning of human brain in a computerized model. The goal of cognitive computing is to use... 
••••••••The Internet has revolutionized our lives in every possible and positive way we can think of. Although the Internet has become an inextricable part of our life, making it much convenient for us to shop online, renew car insurance, hunt for a job, or research for things that matter to us, there’s a dark side attached to it as well, i.e. loss of private information.Do we really need to worry about our personal information that rests precariously on the Internet?If you are a regular Internet user, you must have come across several websites asking for your personal information, like date of birth, email address, phone number, marital status, residential address, etc., before providing you the access to their content and offerings.However, have you ever pondered over the fact that many of them don’t need your personal information to do business with you, but they still ask for it. And in many... 
We would all agree that learning is pivotal to achieving any goal in the world. However, the set goal could only be achieved fully if the learning is interesting, engaging and motivating. Textbook learning is gradually losing its ground as learners find it boring, offering them no to little visual element to be able to actually see what they are learning. Many studies have also proved that we remember less of what we read and more of what we see.Now, think of how quickly and effectively we all had started learning playing games, like Hopscotch, Four Square, Jump Rope, Badminton, and many more. Not did only we learn those games well, but enjoyed and had loads of fun too. Having agreed upon this, we could say that gaming is one of the best ways not just to learn something, but improve concentration, cognition and participation rather than merely reading out a... 
Blockchain is one of the most discussed buzzwords among tech entrepreneurs of today. Although the concept of blockchain was first introduced in 1991 by Stuart Haber and W. Scott Stornetta, the tech community started to realize its incredible potential after it gave birth to the first cryptocurrency and digital payment system, called Bitcoin, in 2009. What led to Bitcoin’s success the most was a digital decentralized system that made peer-to-peer transactions possible without requiring an intermediary, such as a bank, for verification. Each Bitcoin transaction is verified by network nodes (members on the network) to prevent double-spend and added to a chain of blocks, called a public distributed ledger. The so-called Blockchain is nothing but this immutable growing chain of encrypted blocks. For the better readability and navigation, here's a summary of what industries or applications we'll cover in this article. You can choose and jump to a topic of...
