Leveraging Docker to Quickly Setup an Object Detection API

Adam Costenbader API Development, Articles, Cloud, Development Technologies & Tools, Docker, Tutorial 1 Comment

In this blog, we utilize the strengths of Docker containers to quickly spin up two separate containers that we can utilize for our software development needs – one running the DeepStack API software and the other running a utility to help us get started with the DeepStack API.

The best part is that once we are comfortable with our setup, we could quickly and easily stop and remove the DeepStackUI utility container to free up resources all while continuing to run the DeepStack API software without interruption.

Joe Sciara Architecture, Articles, Azure, Cloud, Development Technologies & Tools, Docker, Tutorial Leave a Comment

So you want to host a web application on Azure with minimal overhead, but how is this done? Azure makes it possible by running an App Service using Docker containers. Setting up an App Service is simple and can be accomplished with a few steps.

In this blog, I’ll explain the steps necessary to generate a Docker image in Azure. Then, we will deploy a web application based on an image we generate. We host the application with the following steps:
1. Create a Container Registry
2. Build a Docker image
3. Create a Web App

Progressive Web Apps: The Service Worker Demystified

Adrienne Gessler Articles, JavaScript 4 Comments

You can’t read any technology trend news for the upcoming year without reading about Progressive Web Applications (PWA). PWA offers the ability to add native-like capabilities to your web application.

One of the core technologies of a PWA is the service worker, so I thought I would take us through a question and answer session on service workers. Service workers have been around for a while now, but the momentum in their use has picked up with the popularity of PWA. My goal here is for you to be able to understand what a service worker is, what you can do with it, and the limitations of a service worker.
