Sometimes, Agile isnโt the best choice, even if it is the most highly touted. Sometimes, itโs worth thinking critically about the project and its requirements to select a methodology that works better. In this post, I will explore a few of those Agile alternatives.
Recently, I found myself in a position that developers often face โ setting up a complicated local development environment.
My mission: get 8-10 local services up and running using a variety of technologies to test my code prior to merging to a shared environment. Armed with several outdated READMEs, my terminal, and some dire warnings about which services would likely crash my machine, I dove in.
The following blog is my story of writing scripts that utilize tmux to impose some order on the setup process.
In this post, I will go over some technical details on how to work with server-side rendering in Next.js as well as some cool and helpful utilities to aid in file uploading, all done in React! Weโll take a dive into Static Generation, SSR, and Multi-Part Form Data Uploading using Next-Connect and Mutler.
Keyhole Software gives readers an in-depth code walkthrough and tutorial for how to integrate Avaya Agent for Desktop using React and SignalR.
This integration allows the web-based application to asynchronously receive information about an inbound call, which enriches agents’ experiences and protects against context switching and double documenting. As for technology, AAfD (Avaya Agent for Desktop) is used as the softphone, React as the library to compose the SPA (Single Page Application), and SignalR as the bi-directional message hub.
The hypothetical scenario in this tutorial can be extended to many other use cases where there needs to be coordination between disparate systems, with an end userโs web browser being informed of the traffic without needing to do any long polling or other methodologies.
Asynchronous data flow is useful to many different business verticles, and SignalR is a powerful tool that will likely become a larger part of the custom Application Development enterprise ecosystem in years to come.
A new trend of creating applications is emerging called Jamstack. No, this isnโt slapping together your favorite flavor of jelly (grape is the best) with peanut butter and two pieces of bread. The intent is an architecture that is faster, more secure, and easier to scale. It focuses on pre-rending and decoupling. This way, the solutions created are more reliable and resilient than before.
Pre-rendering comes by the way of using a static website via a CDN for high availability and security. No more serving your React app via web server like weโve become accustomed to. It reduces cost and complexity by eliminating the regular maintenance and configuration of traditional servers.
Also, the idea of APIs and the ability to move them to things like Serverless functions creates more cost savings, elimination of traditional servers, and use of features only when they are requested. For more information, check out the Serverless website.
