ByteByteGo·3yFrom 0 to Millions: A Guide to Scaling Your App - Part 3
In the final two parts of this series, we examine the impact of recent trends like cloud and serverless computing. We explore how these trends alter the way we build applications, especially for early-stage startups where time-to-market is critical, and provide insights on how to incorporate these modern approaches when creating your next big hit.
Amplication·3yUsing Parallel Processing in Node.js and Limitations
Node.js uses a synchronous event loop that takes in code from the call stack and executes it. The event loop delegates all I/O-related operations to a set of threads that perform these operations in parallel. This means that while the event loop executes a CPU-intensive process, applications are blocked from further execution.
Amplication·3yNode.js Worker Threads Vs. Child Processes: Which one should you use?
Node.js has introduced the concept of Worker Threads and Child Processes to help with parallel processing in your app so that you can execute specific processes in parallel. In this article, we will understand both concepts and discuss when it would be useful to employ each of them. We will look at how we can implement a Worker Thread in Node.
The Software House·3yA simple guide to JavaScript concurrency in Node.js
A simple guide to JavaScript concurrency in Node.js and a few traps that come with it. Why is it that despite its single-threaded design, node.js is still capable of handling concurrency and multiple I/O operations at the same time? I could end it right here and call it a day.
AppSignal·3yDesigning a Scalable Backend in Node.js
Designing a Scalable Backend in Node.js.js will explore three scaling challenges in a fictional system written as user stories. We'll discuss useful tools for diagnosing the root causes of scaling issues, as well as techniques for alleviating bottlenecks and eliminating points of failure.
freeCodeCamp·3yHow to Build a Large Language Model from Scratch Using Python
Learn how to create your own large language model from scratch using Python. Elliot Arledge created this course to teach you about the data handling, mathematical concepts, and transformer architectures that power these linguistic juggernauts. You will learn about train and validation splits, the bigram model, and the critical concept of inputs and targets.
Hacker News·3yYou Want Modules, Not Microservices
Microservices was the latest in the trend, and it's time we dissected the idea and got to the real root of what's going on. The idea of creating and maintaining small, independent "chunks" of code and data, versioned apart from one another to enable a larger integration of the system.
Pointer·3yA simple, easy-to-use, elegant open-source Personal Cloud system.
CasaOS is a simple, easy-to-use, elegant open-source Personal Cloud system. The idea is that this technology would be an effective way to solve the issue of consumer data asset ownership and. as well as provide a more affordable and efficient computing solution for individuals and small organizations.
AWS in Plain English·3yIntroduction to Jenkins in DevOps
Jenkins is the leading open-source automation server that provides a wide range of plugins to support all your project needs. It provides a powerful platform for building, deploying, and automating projects of any scale. Jenkins also plays a crucial role in continuous delivery, enabling teams to automate the deployment process and ensure faster and more reliable releases.
TigerData (Creators of TimescaleDB)·3yPostgreSQL Performance Tuning, Part II: Key Parameters
The ‘max_worker_processes’ parameter determines the maximum number of worker processes you can start. The default value is two, but somewhere around a quarter to a half of your CPU count is a good option. In Timescale, we start at two and progressively increase it as your CPU increases to match half your CPU.
Medium·3yInterview questions related to optimizing application performance in Node JS
Interview questions related to optimizing application performance in NodeJS are part of a set of interview questions. The questions will test the candidate’s knowledge of NodeJS and their ability to optimize performance in a range of scenarios, making it a valuable resource for companies looking to hire skilled NodeJS developers.
Hacker Noon·3yDesign of a Scraping Platform
Design of a Scraping Platform can be split into 2 categories that require different infrastructure and techniques. The system only has one functional requirement: it must be able to execute arbitrary scrapers on schedule. Scrapyd deploy eggified Python packages Packages may include dependencies in the egg file and different scrapers may use different versions.
David Heinemeier Hansson·3yHardware is fun again
Ever since Apple's M1 premiered, it seems the floodgates to interesting and large improvements have opened up. The generational jumps are happening more frequently, and the gains aren't measly any longer. As more companies start redoing the math on cloud, and pulling their applications off the rental racket, I think we'll see a resurgence.
It's Foss·3yarm vs aarch64 vs amd64 vs x86
The terms that I listed above, generally speaking, are CPU architectures. These are what a computer engineer calls a CPU ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) This is what defines how the 1's and 0's of binary are interpreted by your CPU. If you own a CPU from pre-2007, this is likely your CPU architecture.
freeCodeCamp·3yJulia Programming Applications – What is Julia Used For?
Julia is a high-level, high-performance dynamic programming language. It combines the ease of use of scripting languages like Python with the speed and efficiency of compiled languages like C/C++. Julia has been gaining traction due to its speed, intuitive syntax, and ability to quickly and efficiently solve complex problems.
Pointer·3yfacefusion/facefusion: Next generation face swapper and enhancer
FaceFusion is meant to be a productive contribution to the rapidly growing AI-generated media industry. It will help artists with tasks such as animating a custom character or using the character as a model for clothing. The developers are aware of its possible unethical applications and are committed to take preventative measures against them.
