Load Balancing Algorithms in Node.js

Load balancing is crucial for distributing incoming network traffic across multiple servers, ensuring no single server is overwhelmed. In this article, we’ll delve into three popular load-balancing algorithms, their implementation in Node.js, and the scenarios where each is most beneficial. 1. Round Robin Round Robin is the most straightforward load-balancing algorithm. Each server is selected in turns, looping back to the first server after the last. The benefit of Round Robin is that it is simple and predictable. You don’t need to keep track of server load or number of simultaneous connections etc. Scenarios for Use: 2. Least Connections The […]

Jenkins: Acceleration Of Software Development

Introduction Jenkins is widely recognised as one of the best continuous integration and delivery solutions available. Jenkins, the popular automation server, is available for no cost and with open source code. Developers may have their code immediately built, integrated, and tested as soon as it is committed to the central repository. This allows for earlier issue and mistake detection, allowing for faster deployments from the development team. As soon as new code is contributed to the central repository, a build is triggered and the developers are notified of the build’s success or failure, facilitating greater cooperation and reducing wasted time […]

Django 5 Release

Hello Coders! As announced on the official Django site, the Django 5.0 Version is out. The changes provided in this version are listed below. Curious minds and cutting-edge developers can test the new features by using the latest Django 5.x release: ✅ Options for declaring field choices in Django Field.choices(for model fields) and ChoiceField.choices(for form fields) allow for more flexibility when declaring their values. In previous versions of Django, choices should either be a list of 2-tuples, or an Enumeration types subclass, but the latter required accessing the .choices attribute to provide the values in the expected form Django 5.0 adds support for accepting a mapping or a callable instead of an iterable, and also no longer […]

Introduction To Docker: A Beginner’s Guide

Docker is one of the most popular tools for application containerization. it enables efficiency and reduces operational overheads so that any developer, in any dev environment, can build stable and reliable applications. Let’s take a look, starting with application development. App development today One common challenge for DevOps teams is managing an application’s dependencies and technology stack across various cloud and development environments. As part of their routine tasks, they must keep the application operational and stable—regardless of the underlying platform that it runs on. Development teams, on the other hand, focus on releasing new features and updates. Unfortunately, these often compromise […]

10 Microservice Patterns Software Engineers Should Know

Building scalable software requires a software engineer/architect to pick the right architecture especially when building enterprise software/applications. Monolithic architecture is usually the first choice in mind for most engineers because it is easy and does not have to deal with the distributed system complexity because a whole application is in the same giant codebase when dealing with agile software delivery; monolith application might not be the right choice because when making small code change requires us to deploy a whole application which could be time-consuming, the other thing is that we cannot even scale individual components/services. If there’s an error […]
