CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is widely popular because of the simplicity it offers while presenting web applications. It comprises style sheets which are long lists that have rules to describe how your web page should look like. If you’re into web designing then you must have heard the term ‘Sass’. It is very important for any developer working on web apps to understand exactly what Sass is and how it works.
How low-code can fit into the DevOps culture
How low-code can fit into the DevOps culture
The digital transformation drive has resulted in better and faster software development needs. The faster development needs have resulted in increased demand for a talent pool that is capable enough to deliver what is expected. However, you may not always have the resources or the time for it. Application development is not everyone’s cup of tea. Especially, not all of us like or have to play around with the coding part. So, what is the best way to deal with this? And the answer to this could be low-code development.
Local Kubernetes development simplified with Skaffold
Local Kubernetes development simplified with Skaffold
In one of our previous blogs Skaffold – Kubernetes-native app development simplified, we talked about the basics of Skaffold and how it is responsible for quick & automated deployment of Kubernetes applications. Skaffold is an amazing tool when it comes to working around application source code locally while having it continually updated.
DevOps & SRE: competitors or companions?
DevOps & SRE: competitors or companions?
Not long ago, automation in IT was a fairly new concept. All the IT operations, mostly administrative jobs, were carried out without automation. Automation started gaining momentum in the middle of the last decade and eventually led to the theory of continuous everything. This improved dev and ops collaboration that was aimed towards continuous integration and continuous deployment backed by agile practices. So, to have seamless product deployment and delivery, DevOps gradually became an integral part of every IT organization.

Kubernetes has been a go-to tool for orchestration for most DevOps folks. And to manage Kubernetes components, most of us prefer Helm. Now, consider a scenario where the codes in the file, Docker images, and manifest files need to be amended; then, the coder will have to restart the current application in the Dev environment. What if the coder doesn’t want to restart the application after every amendment along with manually updating the Kubernetes manifests? What if there are some minor changes to be made?
Transforming the Media & Entertainment landscape with DevOps
Transforming the Media & Entertainment landscape with DevOps
The media and entertainment industry is one of the frontrunners when it comes to adopting new technology. Netflix, which started as a DVD rental shop, is one of the pioneers when it comes to adopting and inventing newer methods on the technology front to serve its customers better. The transformation has revolutionized how consumers consume media, and its share in internet traffic and consumption is an indicator of the same.
Extracting text from images with Tesseract OCR, OpenCV, and Python
Extracting text from images with Tesseract OCR, OpenCV, and Python
It is easy for humans to understand the contents of an image by just looking at it. You can recognize the text on the image and can understand it without much difficulty. However, computers don’t function similarly. They only understand information that is organized. And this is exactly where Optical Character Recognition comes in the picture.

DevOps has become an integral part of the IT industry; combining cultural change with different sets of tools has revolutionized the way Dev and Ops teams operate. The global market size for DevOps is expected to grow from USD 2.90 Billion in 2017 to USD 10.31 Billion by the year 2023, according to a study by Markets And Markets.
Enhanced test automation with Selenium WebDriver and pytest
Enhanced test automation with Selenium WebDriver and pytest
The biggest challenge for a developer today is to ensure consistent and smooth working of their website or web application across different devices, browsers, and platforms. The easiest way to ensure all-round consistency is using a cross-browser testing method for testing websites or web applications across contrasting combinations.
