Software Development, Finance and AIPorting over 250 podcasts from one platform to anotherScalability isn't limited to applications in production. No matter what you do, you want to ensure that it is a scalable approach. Short of it, the exact same activity is going to take a lot longer. Besides, what's interesting is that making even tiny changes to your approach tends to go a long way in enhancing overall productivity. In this podcast, I'll share the approach we took to port hundreds of videos from one platform to another, and why we were able to accomplish that in shy of 10 hours. #snowpal aws.snowpal.com learn.snowpal...2023-11-2612 min

Software Development, Finance and AIMake your Git commits frequent so you run into fewer merge conflicts Say, your team is working on a number of features, and there is a steady stream of Pull Requests at any given time. The likelihood and complexity of merge conflicts depends both on the size of your team, and the scope of your features.

Software Development, Finance and AIHeroku Cloud Application Platform - why it will help your TTM (Time to Market) If you want complete control over your servers, you would choose (something like) Amazon EC2 and start with creating a new Machine Image. But, what if your interest primarily lied in building your app, and solving your user's problems ASAP, and you didn't want to spend much, if any, time on setting up and configuring servers? #snowpal aws.snowpal.com learn.snowpal.com 2023-11-2408 min

Software Development, Finance and AIBuilding a Brand New Application? Looking for a way to reduce your ramp up time? When you get started on a new project, it is natural to feel a tad overwhelmed.

Software Development, Finance and AIDevelopment Efficiency - Are you bouncing your servers too often? If it takes you 5 minutes to test 10 lines of code, there is a problem.

Software Development, Finance and AICode Quality - How can you assess the quality of a codebase before reviewing a single line of code? Whether you are joining a new team, or a new developer is joining your team, the expectation is quite the same - "a good quality codebase that will help us understand the product without having to bug the rest of the team". How can we work towards building such a codebase? #snowpal aws.snowpal.com learn.snowpal.com 2023-11-2409 min

Software Development, Finance and AIBackwards Compatibility Issues - a few ways to ensure that you do not run into them You cannot afford to make Backwards Compatibility an after thought. As your system grows, and your user base grows, you are going to continually add new features and services, and some of them will require fundamental changes to your semantics and data structure. Given that, backwards compatibility can get rather challenging but there are steps you can take to mitigate potential issues. #snowpal aws.snowpal.com learn.snowpal.com 2023-11-2409 min

Software Development, Finance and AICaching - What to Cache, and When to Cache (Part 3) Caching is a broad topic (what isn't?). In this podcast, I've only tried to scratch the surface.

Software Development, Finance and AICaching - Are you optimizing before identifying the problem? (Part 2) If your pages take too long to render, caching may be a solution but before you go all out and start implementing or improving it, ask yourself if there are other fundamental problems that need addressing first (which led to the issues in the first place). #snowpal aws.snowpal.com learn.snowpal.com 2023-11-2408 min

Software Development, Finance and AIWhen looking to make performance improvements, it is natural to look for that ”single” big problem. But, that’s hardly ever the case. I've worked on making performance improvements across all tiers, and in a variety of ways within any given tier, during the course of my career and one thing I can say with a good degree of certainty is that it gets more challenging as you get closer to your goal. Reducing a page rendering time from 3 seconds to 1 second is a whole lot easier than reducing it to 900ms, then to 800ms, and then to 50ms! #snowpal aws.snowpal.com 2023-11-2408 min

Software Development, Finance and AIKeep your code DRY. As in, super DRY! Code duplication is a maintenance nightmare.You have to make a conscious effort to keep your code base DRY.

This will play a huge role in keeping your code DRY, and maintainable in the long run. #snowpal aws.snowpal.com learn.snowpal.com 2023-11-2415 min

Software Development, Finance and AILibraries vs Frameworks (based on my rather loose definition of it!) - What’s your preference?Some of us prefer a framework that offers a lot more than what we might initially want, while others prefer a library that is small and simple but offers the barest minimum.
