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 I built a Twitter bot with a brain.

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 uniquely characterises a dog. The tail,...

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 deploy the model from the...

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 how to avoid overfitting. In...

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, and how you can integrate with it from...

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 night, and now the code just wouldn’t run. If there...

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?” I stared at him for a while and blurted, “Why...

In the 19th century, Le Corbusier, a French architect, made public a visualization that changed how we live.

This plan opened the door to modern urban planning today. Around 1930, public health became a significant concern; the poor working conditions of municipal workers in congested and polluted cities.

Le...

Today, I want to talk about one of my favorite plugins for prototyping Javascript in visual studio code: Quokka.js.

Quokka.js is a rapid prototyping playground in your editor, with access to your project files and provides instant inline reporting.

It runs your code as you type and display...

Cloud computing is constantly evolving, from bare-metal to container technologies. The latest trend in this process is the serverless (Function as a Service, or FaaS) computing model. According to Techbeacon, serverless has an annual growth rate of 75%, making it the fastest growing cloud service model. So, serverless architecture...

This post is to show you how to run and build a serverless application on Google Cloud Platform that integrates with Google APIs. What we’ll cover in this post includes:

• Creating & deploying a serverless application using the serverless framework.
• Integrating your application with Google...

For any given task, there are many tools you can use. But few are the right tools.

If you’re in IT, you’ve probably heard the saying “Use the right tool for the job.” In architects’ meetings, this sentence echoes from one corner to the other. In...

Logging is an important aspect of software development. In fact, in my opinion, it’s just as important as testing. Why?

Logs become the only source of truth...

Docker has changed the way we build, package, and deploy applications. But this concept of packaging apps in containers isn’t new—it was in existence long before Docker came.
