„The web has evolved. Finally, testing has too.” These words welcome us on the main page of the Cypress.io project, a new framework used to create the E2E tests in web applications. In my opinion, this statement is extremely accurate, and I would like to explain why I believe so.

If you want to assure that your data is secure “at rest”, in 2018, you have a bunch of widely known and well-tested industry standards available on the market – such as symmetric/asymmetric cryptography, data vaults like keychain etc. But all these ideas struggle from threat called a single point of failure – if your master key is accessed by anyone, all data can be accessed in unencrypted form. How to mitigate this issue? Here is where Shamir’s Secret Sharing Scheme (referred later as SSSS) come into use.

Security headers are a subset of http response headers that, when sent by the server, allow the web application to tell the web browser to enable or configure certain security-related behaviours. The article presents a list of the most important Security Headers, shows their impact on web application security and provides resources that can be useful in the implementation of best practices in your own application.

Recently I have switched from using C# to Java at work. This is a move that bewilders some people. I’ve used .NET at work for over 6 years and a little more before that, so it’s understandable that going for something different after so much time raises eyebrows. In this short article I’ll try to explain my rationale behind doing so. I’ll also describe the process itself. Bear in mind that, given the topic, many things that you’ll read are my personal opinions or speculations.

For the last 2 years Angular Team at Google, with huge support of the community, has been working on a new Angular framework.

The new Scrum Guide is here! It’s been three years since the last revision of the Guide – has that time allowed for a complete revamp or only evolutionary changes? Read on to find out.

The era of big data is here and now. How to efficiently train support vector machines from massively large real-life datasets?

Today applications need to be more and more asynchronous and process more information in parallel. Every programming language has its own way of dealing with asynchronous programming. Some are designed for such purposes (like Erlang) but the others, more popular ones, are not. Is there no hope for Java, .Net or JavaScript developers? I think there is.

This post describes how to minimize overhead when developing systems with microservices architecture, especially as it comes to development and deployment. Some time ago, we published similar post about solving this problem in Microsoft and Azure world. This time we will focus on AWS, Java, Spring Boot, Docker and some useful open source libraries from Netflix.
