Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) are the agile methodology, used by many organizations. It is helping organizations ship their software effectively, and securely.

According to GitLab 2020 DevSecOps survey, Almost 83% of the developers say they’re releasing code faster and more often. 59% of companies say that they are almost making releases multiple times a day. That’s because of the adoption of DevOps methodologies and primarily because of Continuous Integration, automated testing and continuous Deployment.

Every organization eventually tries to find that perfect balance and include their own methodologies while setting up their CI/CD pipelines that we generally termed…

Boilerplates are the minimal reusable code that is common and required across all applications. They can be thought of as a reusable “glue” for components. Combining them with independent reusable components boosts delivery and, quite simply, makes coding much more enjoyable.

A user provides two different authentication factors to verify themselves to protect the resources that he can access. Two Factor Authentication adds an additional layer of Security to our Single Factor Authentication (SFA) in which the user only needs to provide a password or passcode.

Two Factor Authentication method is almost used by everyone to increase the security and make it difficult for the attackers to gain access to the user’s account because knowing the user’s password alone is not enough for completing the authentication process.

Tip: Share code modules and collaborate with your team

Heroku is a cloud platform that lets companies build, deliver, monitor and scale apps. In this new era of serverlessness and containerization where we are just a click away from deploying our complete project, Heroku was there for us and is still helping millions of people deploy their projects with great ease.

Sometimes we end up overusing these technologies and integrate containerization and similar jargon words when we actually don’t need it — even though I am a great fan of Docker/Kubernetes.

It’s good to learn these things by practising with small projects but, we must know the difference between…

Forms are always the primary way of interacting with developers, designers and users for collecting information. We always interact with such forms in our day to day whether it is for user login/signup, collecting feedbacks or making payment online.

Why do we need to make them interactive?

Well, That’s important, It is really required to make them interactive. Umm, I think there is no need to make them interactive. Do we? We fill them every day without facing any issues. Ahhh, then why do we need an interactive form.

Ohhh, Gotcha… We need not to have interactive forms everywhere. We easily fill login forms because of our need…
