BALANCING DEVELOPER PRODUCTIVITY & CODE QUALITY This post describes a discussion between a group of panelists on how software development teams can effectively balance developer productivity and software quality.

Producing has always been a challenge for , which has led to standards, development methodologies, and other attempts to make the process easier. The core problem is that software teams are often forced to balance and to ship faster than ever.
As software quality gets better and better, yields drop and semi-bad code still does get through. Code quality issues need to be stopped at the source by coaching developers to build better code in the first place.
In this , our panelists took a closer look at balancing code quality and developer productivity and some key steps for improving the quality of code developers produce during this webinar. The panelists also took a deep dive into some proven metrics and strategies can use to track and improve software quality.

He says, "The second-generation (the current) cloud technology builds upon virtualization and yet again delivers exponential resource efficiencies using containers. With containers, the is far more elastic, agile, and efficient. Simply put, you should only be leveraging compute as you need it. Most importantly, this elasticity should be dynamic, near real-time, and react well to the fluctuating demand."

Organizations are rapidly shifting to the cloud to achieve cost efficiencies & power agile business initiatives. According to IDG’s 2020 Cloud Computing Survey, 59% of organizations will be running most or all of their workload in the Cloud by 2021. For them, migrating on-premise databases is the first step, but it brings with it several risk factors including potential downtime, data loss, & compromised transactions. According to research published on Data Center Knowledge, database downtime costs companies an average of $7,900 per minute, with an average downtime of 90 minutes.
A database load balancing software like ScaleArc can help with streamlining your migration. Not only does it counter the risks associated with cloud migration like downtime, data loss, and compromised transactions, ScaleArc also adds simplicity, scalability, and resilience to your infrastructure.

There is a reason that load balancing can be found in all web applications. Load balancing is the load distribution of network traffic across multiple back-end servers. And a load balancer makes sure that no single server will overload. Because the application load is spread throughout different servers, this increases the responsiveness of web applications, this also makes for a better user experience.

If you want a taste of what a load balancer can do, consider using ScaleArc that serves as a database load balancing software that provides continuous availability at high-performance levels for mission-critical database systems deployed at scale.
Read on to learn more about why you need a load balancer and the various load balancing tools and techniques.

Load Balancing Methods For 2020 Explained - Scale Arc There is a variety of load balancing methods, which use different algorithms that work best for specific situations.

Organizations are rapidly shifting to the cloud to achieve cost efficiencies and power agile business initiatives. For these enterprises, migrating on-premise databases is the first step, but it brings with it several risk factors including potential downtime, data loss, and compromised transactions.
A panel of data migration experts gathered virtually on October 20, 2020 for the World Forum Disrupt Data Series webinar to discuss challenges, strategies, and key tactics for migrating databases to the cloud with zero downtime.
Some of the key insights are summarized here.
Insight #1: Prefer parallel migrations for more predictable results
Insight #2: Leverage Database-as-a-Service to reduce complexity
Insight #3: Phased migrations mitigate risk
Insight #4: Security is not just on the perimeter
Insight #5: Decoupling app servers from the database simplifies migrations

With the rise of Containerization in recent years, the landscape for cloud computing has evolved. But before Containerization came into being, it was Virtual Machines that used to get the job done. So does that mean, VMs are a thing of the past now, or is there a way both Containers & VMs can collaborate to provide better flexibility and efficiency for your applications?
At DevGraph we believe that the development and increasing adoption of containers is critical to reducing the developer’s operational burden and gives you the flexibility and standardization to deploy anything, anywhere.
Read our blog post to understand the pros & cons of VMs and Containers and decide for yourself which fits best in your environment.
