AWS Secrets Manager is a fully managed service that helps you easily store and retrieve credentials, API keys, and other sensitive data in a secure way. It integrates seamlessly with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to ensure that only authorized users and applications can access your secrets. Beyond simple storage, it also offers basic security practices like automatic rotation of secrets. The main idea of using AWS Secrets Manager is that you no longer need to hardcode sensitive information in your applications or configuration files. Instead, you can reference them securely and fetch them when needed. This practice, sharply…

Cloud computing is a concept that every developer and tester should understand within software industry in 2020s. Whether you are just starting or changing your career; or preparing for a job interview, the basic understanding of cloud computing can set you apart from your competitors. In this blog post, I will take you through the basics of cloud computing, how it works, and the key services provided by the two most common cloud platforms. What is Cloud Computing? Cloud computing is a providing computing services (like servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and all related infrastructure) based on a remote…

Containerization became one of the recent trends in software development technology, because of its advantages with deployment and scalability and it is not for the first time I am writing about dockerizing an app. No doubt, Docker practically is the only platform for containerization, and it provides developers a convenient method to bundle applications and their prerequisites into efficient containers. It also guarantees uniformity across very different environments. In this post, I will explore the steps involved in containerizing a React application using Docker, starting from the creation of a fundamental React component and concluding with its execution within a…

Keeping things secure is the important part of any application. As entire internet going to cloud, Azure Active Directory (AD) is one of the best possible among one of two popular options. It helps manage who can use your app and what they can do. Let’s see how to set up Azure AD for a C# and Java Spring Boot backend, and a React frontend to make sure only the right people get in. First, go to the Azure portal and make a new Azure AD tenant if you don’t have one yet. Then, register your app in Azure AD.…

Docker is a powerful tool that allows developers to package applications into containers. These containers can run on any system that has Docker installed, making it easier to deploy and run applications consistently across different environments. Containers are like lightweight, portable packages for your application, including everything it needs to run: code, runtime, libraries, and settings. I assume that you have already know what Docker is and also you have .NET and Docker installed on your machine. Don’t worry, just download and then next + next. For more details and official documentation, you can visit Docker’s official website and for…

A few weeks ago, we were discussing a problem with my team mates and a colleague raised a question about a very basic distributed remote caching problem which was about an application scaled out across multiple instances, managing how data is cached can become a significant challenge. Let me take the shortcut and directly jump into the problem. Consider a scenario where you have multiple instances doing the same job and you need to cache the result of a function which takes about 30 seconds. This function’s result needs to be cached to avoid redundant executions across different instances. The…

There’s no shortage of tools and technologies to make developers’ lives easier In the world of cloud computing, and one such offering comes from Microsoft which is Azure Functions. Here, we’ll unravel the magic behind Azure Functions and explore why it’s becoming a favourite for certain architectures. At its core, Azure Functions is a serverless compute service. “Serverless” might sound misleading, as there definitely are servers involved; however, the idea is that the responsibility of server management, scaling, and infrastructure concerns are taken away from the developer. This allows us to focus on writing and deploying our code. Azure Functions…

Event-Driven Architecture is currently enjoying a lot of attention from businesses around the world due to the enhanced capabilities offered by cloud-based systems. Imagine a digital ecosystem like a busy marketplace. In this environment, various systems act as vendors declaring their services and updates. Rather than each customer (or system) having to visit every vendor to check for new items, they simply wait and respond whenever a vendor announces a product they’re interested in. That’s precisely how Event-Driven Architecture operates. Systems no longer continuously scan for updates or changes; they react upon the occurrence of a significant event. For instance,…
