The hyped, happening and happened programming languages and testing frameworks @ bol.com (Part 2)Introduction Like living organisms, companies need to learn and adapt to an ever-changing ecosystem. As a result of that, we are witnessing a paradigm shift in which domain experts are originating important innovations. They are product managers, engineers, analysts,...
Empowering autonomous experimentation in a scaling enterpriseI believe that FTP is due for a makeover because it's so ancient that few companies want to host it, yet so many customers still want to use it. That's why fellow techies and I embarked on two open-source...
Turning rusty tech into Rust ~ When you need to FTP but don’t want toMonitoring your infrastructure is key for keeping production workloads healthy and to debug issues when things are going bad. And like Peter Drucker once said: “if you can measure, you can manage”. At bol.
How to: validate your app's metrics on a local Grafana instance1. Background kotlinx. coroutines is one of the asynchronous (and concurrency) libraries in Kotlin for writing asynchronous, non-blocking code.
Measuring execution time in Kotlin coroutinesThe Product Innovation Power model (PIP) is created for the product teams and provides insights, best practices and tools to improve their innovation power. It unlocks the potential of our people & technology and accelerates the shift to the empowered product teams model. It will support us to become Europe’s #1 in product-led innovation.
PIP: helping products improve their innovation powerIn the bol. com Tech Community, we get quite some questions on how we build a great engineering culture. Mid-March 2021 the hosts of our podcast joined the Hackages podcast which was live recorded with almost 100 attendees.
Building an Engineering CultureIntroduction For me, even after having pushed the deploy button many times, deploying to production keeps being dreadful. Accidentally pushing an unwanted feature that sneaked in somehow is one of the many things I am afraid of. In this...
