Microservices architecture is a version of a server-side solution where available services are loosely connected but maintain high efficiency and collaboration level. The loose part means that application services can work without impacting each other’s course and logic. This method brings many advantages to architecture-wise, but also to alleviate the team workload. Since the highly maintainable apps can deploy independently, there is no need for...
We will explain what User Personas are, what they are not, why every Designer should use them when building interfaces that target specific User Groups. What are User Personas?

Statistical data show that 3.2 billion people, that is a staggering 41% of the overall global population, use mobile devices to access the internet. It is predicted that by 2025, that number will incrementally rise to 72.5%. The base conclusion out of this data is obvious: if your web presence is not designed for mobile, you and your users are in trouble. That’s why designing...
Ever since Mankind invented computing devices, data storage capacities have always been a major concern. As computers got more advanced, data storage needs have increased, thus creating a continuous demand for increased storage capacities. Data storage devices have evolved from being large trunks with a minimal capacity and holding a few kilobytes of data, to microchips able to hold several terabytes of data. In this...
In the 1950s the word “cloud” still referred to a visible mass of condensate water vapour, floating in the atmosphere! What we know as Cloud computing, has historically evolved through a number of phases. Grid and utility computing, application service provision (ASP), and Software as a Service (SaaS) are just a few of the steps it took to get to today’s form of cloud computing....
