The DevOps concept assumes close cooperation between the programming team and the operational team.
Process of the product development consists of many steps that are often very complicated, time consuming and not well defined. It is common that companies are struggling to track the progress of the development and keep the documentation up to date. The main challenge that I would like to focus on is the continuous need to improve the product. Because we do not live in the perfect world the changes are unavoidable – whether it is just small fragment of the design that needs to be updated, the part you have been using so far is no longer available or you have to make sure that the product meets the requirements of the new markets.
Modern web applications that serve data and content to millions of users run in clustered environments. Dealing with a huge amount of connections at the same time requires many resources. That resources are CPU time and RAM. Each and every connection produces an additional load on the server. Having just one server would require a vast amount of resources and we already know that Moore's Law is no longer valid. That said we need multiple servers ready to respond to users’ requests. Web applications use HTTP(S) protocol which works in the request-response communication method. Upon user's request, the server will prepare the response and send it back. Every response needs to be processed by the server and that's the key factor in provisioning resources for the server - requests may be different, starting from simple static data like CSS or images to more demanding like requesting data from database, filtering or calculating certain data.

Computer Aided Design (CAD) techniques have been inseparable from the very dynamic development of industry for many years and their role is growing with every decade. What started as fairly simple systems that functioned basically as virtual drawing boards, has developed over time into packages of advanced IT tools. Although initially they could only be used by select research institutes and the largest and most developed corporations, CAD systems have gradually gained popularity, acquired new functionalities and became easier to use. However, the real revolution took place in the era of fast Internet and Industry 4.0, when CAD systems have dynamically transformed into sophisticated tools integrated with PDM and PLM systems. In addition to the ability to develop a complete 3D representation of a product in a virtual environment, they support virtually all other activities related to the broadly understood design, construction, digital prototyping and preparation of data for other stages of the product life cycle.
BigPicture by SoftwarePlant, a new version of the project management and PMO development addendum in Jira, is coming. What changes will it bring? How can you prepare for them? I will answer these questions later in the text – please read on.
Modern technologies are starting to affect literally every industry. Even though most activities related to Augmented Reality (AR) are in their infancy when it comes to industry, we know from our own experience that the first implementations are the most important ones. These very implementations make a lot more people aware of the benefits of using AR. This applies to the logistics industry as well, even though it might seem to be much less industrial. In practice, just like other industries, it focuses on quality and efficiency.
The manufacturing sector is changing faster than ever. The increasing multifaceted nature of processes is associated with maintaining operational efficiency and high quality. The need for transparency and efficiency of operations is increasing and product innovations need to be implemented more and more quickly. Effective planning is the key to the business success of the organisation. In the Industry 4.0 era, IT technologies dedicated to product lifecycle management (PLM) have become even more helpful.

The evolution of artificial intelligence, as well as machine learning has gained momentum in the last few years. The constant drive to increase the computing power of computers has given the opportunity to use algorithms and mathematical apparatus created in the second half of the 20th century on an unprecedented scale. With the imminent arrival of a commercial quantum computer, we can slowly become afraid of scenes from the movies with Arnold Schwarzenegger as Terminator. However, without going too far into the future, and focusing on the present, I decided to check the possibilities offered by the technology available today and whether it can be used to predict the spread of COVID-19 disease.
The turn of June and July 2019 was an intense time for us.

It was time to act.
The growing popularity of electronic signatures has increased the pace. According to forecasts, this market will grow by an average of over 20% annually, reaching the value of nearly $7 billion in 2025. The market growth is one thing, but the question is: is this really worth our attention?

The Modern society is very computerized. We want to have access to our music, books or movies wherever we are, regardless whether we’re in dentist’s waiting room or on a bus. To satisfy this demand, private companies and public institutions offer their service on the Internet. Despite that, there are a lot of barriers in using the web for disabled or elderly people, preventing them from enjoying the benefits of Internet.
A good marketing team consists of people who have different, complementary skills: content, SEO, paid campaigns specialists, graphic designers, developers, analysts, PR or Employer Branding experts. This is not an exhaustive list – it all depends on what projects are or will be implemented. And although the team consists of different people, each of them has the same goal: to do their job well and on time, and to manage their (but not only their) task list on an ongoing basis.
The AWS re:Invent 2019 conference, similarly to previous editions, was full of interesting lectures, such as breakout sessions, which aimed at familiarizing the participants with a particular technical problem regarding the Amazon Web Services cloud.
