Feed: Redis. Author: Yiftach Shoolman. As of October 20, 2021, we’re updating the RedisRaft license from dual AGPLv3 + RSAL to RSAL only. This change applies to the RedisRaft project only. The license change does NOT affect core Redis, which is, and will always be, the 3-clause BSD license. Why RSAL? RSAL lets users freely download, modify, and redistribute source code without worrying about copyleft, just like Apache 2.0 and BSD. RSAL also permits anyone to use the source code in commercial software and in cloud SaaS offerings, as long as the offering does not provide the software itself. For ... Read More

A lack of data to assess cultivable land and yield has always been an issue, but accurately estimating crop damage has also proven to be almost an impossible task.  To compound this even further, the remote location of crops can prevent insurers from finding specialists to carry out inspections and risk assessments. These all have implications on cost and time to insurers.  But the capabilities of drones are fast being recognized as the solution to these problems.  ... Read More

These operational procedures are designed to regulate the implementation of changes to prevent outage and data loss. In practice, they set a structured path for upgrades, restricting frequent changes so, in case of a problem, it’s easier to identify the ... Read More

Feed: Redis. Author: Steve Naventi. One of the most popular approaches to breaking down complex problems relies on first principles, which forces you to think for yourself and not just follow the tradition but question everything. There is an emerging first principle in software development: databaseless (DBLess) architecture, which provides a new approach to data pipeline and backend architecture. The terms ‘serverless’, ‘stateless’ and ‘NoSQL’ attempt to provide more options for software architects and developers. In essence, first principles thinking means that unless you’re looking at a law of nature, such as the laws of gravity, every system or concept ... Read More
