Feed: AWS Big Data Blog. Let’s describe the typical use case where a tracking pixel solution, also known as a web beacon, might help you: Analyzing web traffic is critical to understanding user behavior in order to improve their experience. Let’s think about a company—Example Company Hotels—that embeds a piece of HTML into a high-traffic, third-party website (example.HighTrafficWebsite.com) to have more visibility into how users interact with its products. Let’s assume that this fragment of code can’t make calls to the example.HighTrafficWebsite.com backend because it doesn’t want to incorporate delays on its website loading times. How could Example Company Hotels ... Read More

Image source As software developers, we are responsible not only for ensuring that all the features we program into our apps work as designed, we also need to make sure our code base is free from bugs and security vulnerabilities. The need for faster delivery of software has increased, with new methodologies emerging as a consequence. The concept of DevOps was created in order to combine the functions of development (in which one codes the application) and the production/operations team (handling the management of the live application in production) ...
