Last year, I broke my records of daily readings. It was the year I read the most books, and it was also the year I read the most blog posts. In 2021, I was fortunate enough to come across great...

Building a good Application Programming Interface (API) is more than returning responses. Being a developer and having integrated with tons of APIs, I have noticed a pattern between successful API products and those that are not. It’s about solving problems...

Prior to container technology, making applications run on different environments was one of the greatest struggles for a developer. “It runs on my machine” was a common frustration you heard from engineers—including me, many times. Like numerous engineers, I’ve built...

Microservice architecture has become the new model for building modern-day applications. While decoupled services are easy to scale and manage, increasing interactions between those services have created a new set of problems. It’s no surprise that debugging was listed as...

We’re in the fourth industrial age, where data is accumulated, collated, analyzed, and interpreted at lightning-fast speeds. Highly competitive organizations enhance their platforms with AI, but many companies are unable to process the information they collect and use it in...

I was scrolling carelessly on Reddit a few days ago when I saw a thread on buzzwords that made me pause for a few seconds. In truth, buzzwords are powerful. They tend to express ideas and concepts in one word...

According to Wikipedia, Forecasting is a process of making predictions of the future based on past and present data and, most commonly, by analyzing trends. History is filled with people trying to predict the future by looking at trends and...

2020 turned out to be radically different from what everyone had expected. COVID-19 has impacted our lives in many ways. As the pandemic spread, one question that baffled us was: what can we do with technology to combat the virus?....

Twitter users tweet 500 million tweets per day. The volume of information going through Twitter per day makes it one of the best platforms to get information on any subject of interest. In this post, I’ll walk you through how...

In this post, we’ll look at common techniques used in detecting edges for image segmentation. Object detection in computers is similar to how humans recognise objects. As humans, we can tell the image of a dog because of features that...

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to deploy a Pytorch model on AWS cloud infrastructure. In my previous post, we saw how to train an image classifier that is capable of recognizing images of objects in 10 categories. Today, we’ll...

In this post, you’ll learn how to train an image classifier using transferred learning with Pytorch on Google Colab. We’ll use a dataset provided by CalTech, which contains pictures of objects in 101 categories. We’ll talk briefly about overfitting and...

In the previous post, we talked in detail about queue systems and why they’re essential in scaling applications. Today, we’ll take it a bit further. We’ll look at AWS Simple Queue Service (SQS), a managed queue system provided by AWS,...

My little self stood in front of my computer some years ago, churning out code that today would make me scream like a baby deprived of food. The motivated me had made some changes to a 1,000-line app the previous...

The word “queue” is used everywhere. It has all kinds of meanings in the real world and even in the world of software development. Last night, a friend pulled me aside and whispered, “Why do you hate queues so much?”...
