Serverless Databases

Modern applications deliver better user experience, more stability, and lower costs, and development is streamlined and simplified. Serverless solutions free developers from infrastructure management. And serverless is not limited to application code -- there are database options too. We explore serverless databases on AWS.

What Is a Data Lakehouse?

Two years ago, when a colleague used the terms interchangeably, we wrote about data lakes vs. data warehouses. Over time, technology patterns advance, morph, and blur. Today we're using data lakehouses, a relatively new concept that blends the two models.

Does Anyone Use ColdFusion Anymore?

The tools we use for software development continuously evolve, enabling developers to write efficient, effective code to address changing market needs. Choosing a development platform is challenging because each software development framework carries advantages and disadvantages. Since we have a long CFML pedigree (and occasionally controversial opinions on the subject), we wanted to address a question we're asked regularly: does anyone use ColdFusion anymore?

Application Migration Services

We love exchanging ideas about application modernization and cloud migration -- it's what we do. Putting those concepts into another bucket, you could also say we love our involvement with application migration services. Technology morphs, paradigms shift, systems grow obsolete, and someone has to deliver continuity. Since application migration services are in our DNA, we wanted to share our roadmap, with a look into the potential benefits and challenges.

Death by Coding: People, Process, and Planning in Software Development

In a recent conversation with Webapper, a lead developer said “In order to ship on time, I just need more time to code.” He went on to say “If I didn’t have to spend all this time on the product roadmap, I could ship on time.” After three decades in software development, these statements sound significant alarm bells...
