Q&A on the Book Accelerating Software Quality
The book Accelerating Software Quality by Eran Kinsbruner explores how we can combine techniques from artificial intelligence and machine learning with a DevOps approach to increase testing effectiveness and deliver higher quality. It provides examples and recommendations for using AI/ML-based solutions in software development and operations.

Deno Introduction with Practical Examples
Deno is a simple, modern, and secure runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript applications built with the Chromium V8 JavaScript engine and Rust, created to avoid several pain points and regrets with Node.js. Deno was originally announced in 2018 and reached 1.0 in 2020, created by the original Node.js founder Ryan Dahl and other mindful contributors.

Is Artificial Intelligence Closer to Common Sense?
Intelligent agents lack the common-sense knowledge they need to reason about the world. Traditionally, there have been two unsuccessful approaches to getting computers to reason about the world—symbolic logic and deep learning. A new project, called COMET, tries to bring these two approaches together. Although it has not yet succeeded, it offers the possibility of progress.

Real Time APIs in the Context of Apache Kafka
Events offer a Goldilocks-style approach in which real-time APIs can be used as the foundation for applications which is flexible yet performant; loosely-coupled yet efficient. Apache Kafka offers a scalable event streaming platform with which you can build applications around the powerful concept of events.

Challenges of Human Pose Estimation in AI-Powered Fitness Apps
In this article, the author discusses the human pose estimation solution powered by AI technologies and the challenges faced in online fitness apps which use the pose estimation to predict the position of the human body based on an image or a video containing a person.

Brahmos, a New, Small, React-Like UI Framework with Concurrent Rendering -- Q&A with Sudhanshu Yadav
Brahmos implements the known React APIs (hooks, context, concurrent mode, and more) with a different and potentially faster method that also leverages a standard feature of JavaScript: template literals. Brahmos is among the very few UI frameworks that implements the experimental concurrent mode API sponsored by React. Other frameworks may be waiting out, or discarding the feature entirely.

Q&A on the Book Infinite Gamification
The book Infinite Gamification by Toby Beresford explains how to create sustainable gamification programs that motivate teams and individuals for continuous improvement, using prime directives, scores, measurements, and badges. Using gamification you can design staff scorecards that drive behavior.

Four Case Studies for Implementing Real-Time APIs
API calls now make up 83% of all web traffic. Competitive advantage is no longer won by simply having APIs; the key to gaining ground is based on the performance and the reliability of those APIs. This article presents a series of four case studies of how real time APIs were implemented.

Q&A on the Book Fail to Learn
The book Fail to Learn by Scott Provence explores how we can learn from failure and how trainers and course designers can use gamification to foster failure and learning in their educational environments. When playing games it's ok to try out something, lose the game, learn from it, and restart and try something else.

Load Testing APIs and Websites with Gatling: It’s Never Too Late to Get Started
Conducting load tests against APIs and websites can both validate performance after a long stretch of development and get useful feedback from an app in order to increase its scaling capabilities and performance. Engineers should avoid creating “the cathedral” of load testing and end up with little time to improve performance overall. Write the simplest possible test and iterate from there.

Azure + Spring Boot = Serverless - Q&A with Julien Dubois
Microsoft seems to prove over and over again its focus on cloud and the Java ecosystem is the new normal. Even though Java has been amongst the supported languages for Azure functions for some time now, Julien Dubois experimented with Spring Boot and Azure to see what this combination means for Azure serverless computing. InfoQ reached out to him to explore further his experience on this topic.
