Google Cloud Dataflow is a fully managed, serverless service that's great for handling large amounts of data, whether it's in batches or streaming in real time. It uses a unified programming model based on Apache Beam, which makes creating data pipelines a whole lot easier. Dataflow also plays nicely with other Google Cloud services and offers cool features like auto-scaling and fault tolerance.

Grunt.js is a JavaScript task runner designed to automate repetitive tasks like minification, compilation, unit testing, and linting. By streamlining these tasks, developers can focus on building features instead of managing workflow overhead. In this article, we’ll explore what Grunt.js is, how to set it up, and walk through practical examples to help you integrate it into your projects.

When I first started working with C#, one of the hurdles I faced was data manipulation. I can’t count how many times I found myself writing repetitive loops for arrays and collections, only to end up with code that felt clunky and error-prone. Then I stumbled upon LINQ — and let me tell you, it completely changed how I approach working with data.

Grid components like Row and Col have become essential tools for creating responsive designs. While there are many grid systems available, such as Bootstrap and Material-UI, building your own can be a great learning experience and can help you tailor the layout to your specific needs. In this blog post, we’ll walk through the process of creating a simple and reusable grid system in React, consisting of custom Row and Col components. By understanding and constructing these fundamental components, you’ll not only enhance your coding skills but also gain the flexibility to design layouts that precisely fit your project requirements.

Picture this: You’re leading a growing development team, and your monolithic application is starting to show signs of strain. The deployment pipeline is getting slower, team velocity is decreasing, and your CTO is asking about microservices. Sound familiar?

Google BigQuery is a powerful tool offered by Google Cloud Platform (GCP). It helps users analyse both structured and unstructured data. BigQuery doesn’t require server management, which makes it easy to use. It can also handle very large amounts of data quickly and efficiently. This makes BigQuery great for working with big datasets.

Flexbox is a layout model in CSS that allows elements within a container to be distributed and aligned efficiently. The flex property is shorthand for setting three properties: flex-grow, flex-shrink, and flex-basis. Here's a brief explanation and an example of how they work together.

Test-driven development (TDD) has become an essential approach in modern software engineering. It not only helps developers write cleaner code but also ensures that the application is well-tested from the start. In this guide, we’ll explore how to apply TDD in a React project using Jest and React Testing Library. By the end, you’ll see the benefits of adopting TDD in your development process.

Imagine this: One day, you’re deep in the trenches, your fingers dancing across the keyboard, every keystroke bringing your ideas to life. The next day, you’re handed the captain’s hat, expected to steer the ship, chart the course, and keep the crew motivated — all while still keeping your coding skills sharp. It’s like going from being the star player to the coach overnight. This is my story — my first year as a tech lead, where I learned that leading a team isn’t just about writing the perfect line of code but crafting the blueprint for success.

Welcome to Part 2 of adding input validation in Go! In the previous part, we covered the basics of validating user input in Go using Fiber and go-playground/validator. We noticed that our code was getting a bit messy with all the validation checks, making it harder to manage. In this installment, we’re going to tidy things up. If you haven’t read Part 1 yet, we suggest giving it a quick look to get up to speed. In this part, we’ll show you how to clean up and optimise our validation code, making it easier to read and maintain. Let’s get started!
