The present scenario of the digital revolution requires appropriate data storage centers to manage, compute, and monitor all the generated data. Hence, cloud services emerged as an effective solution for companies wanting to save costs and complications arising from owning an in-house data infrastructure. Instead of managing their own data center, they can avail access to any application or storage on rent. Customers find it easy to rent such services as they only have to pay when they use them.

What is WebAssembly (wasm) ?

WebAssembly is a new type of code that can be run in modern web browsers — it is a low-level assembly-like language with a compact binary format that runs with near-native performance and provides languages such as C/C++, C# and Rust with a compilation target so that they can run on the web.

WebAssembly is designed to complement and run alongside JavaScript — using the WebAssembly JavaScript APIs, you can load WebAssembly modules into a JavaScript app and share functionality between the two. This allows you to take advantage of WebAssembly’s performance and power and JavaScript’s expressiveness and flexibility in the same apps, even if you don’t know how to write WebAssembly code.

Now, if you have programs in C/C++ or Rust etc. now you can run those programs on the web with help of WebAssembly alongside JavaScript. You can also develop WebAssembly using AssemblyScript (A language made for WebAssembly).

Now these has opened doors for running complex programs written in “low-level assembly-like language” on web.

We are already seeing some interesting use cases of WebAssembly, Like TensorFlow has announced — WebAssembly backend for TensorFlow.js (more details here)

One more interesting example of WebAssembly could be — A WebAssembly Powered Augmented Reality Sudoku Solver.

In our example using WebAssembly NES emulator and run Super Mario Brothers and Tetris game in our web browser.

TL;DR Use docker image:

$ docker pull bhargavshah86/rust-wasm-demo:1.0.0 $ docker run --name rust-wasm-demo -d -p 8080:80 bhargavshah86/rust-wasm-demo:1.0.0$ # http://localhost:8080/wasm_rust_demo.html

Manual steps:

Download WebAssembly NES emulator (nes_rust_wasm.js and nes_rust_wasm_bg.wasm)

Download ROM files,

Super_mario_brothers.nes

Tetris.nes

3. HTML and JS code to glue in all parts together

4. Open our “rust_wasm_demo.html” in browser.

Conclusion:

WebAssembly brings the performance of native applications to the web in a way that’s completely secure, yet enabling a full functionality expected from games, major applications and the entire spectrum of software you can run on a computer. WebAssembly is just built as a binary format and very compact to download, and also very efficient to compile and execute. There’s a whole bunch of optimizations coming that will drive that even further, allowing huge mobile applications to load up quickly, even on mobile devices.

Overview of GitOps

What is GitOps? Guide to GitOps — Continuous Delivery for Cloud Native applications

GitOps is a way to do Kubernetes cluster management and application delivery. It works by using Git as a single source of truth for declarative infrastructure and applications, together with tools ensuring the actual state of infrastructure and applications converges towards the desired state declared in Git. With Git at the center of your delivery pipelines, developers can make pull requests to accelerate and simplify application deployments and operations tasks to your infrastructure or container-orchestration system (e.g. Kubernetes).

The core idea of GitOps is having a Git repository that always contains declarative descriptions of the infrastructure currently desired in the production environment and an automated process to make the production environment match the described state in the repository. If you want to deploy a new application or update an existing one, you only need to update the repository — the automated process handles everything else. It’s like having cruise control for managing your applications in production.

Modern software development practices assume support for reviewing changes, tracking history, comparing versions, and rolling back bad updates; GitOps applies the same tooling and engineering perspective to managing the systems that deliver direct business value to users and customers.

Pull-based Deployments

more info @ https://gitops.tech

The Pull-based deployment strategy uses the same concepts as the push-based variant but differs in how the deployment pipeline works. Traditional CI/CD pipelines are triggered by an external event, for example when new code is pushed to an application repository. With the pull-based deployment approach, the operator is introduced. It takes over the role of the pipeline by continuously comparing the desired state in the environment repository with the actual state in the deployed infrastructure. Whenever differences are noticed, the operator updates the infrastructure to match the environment repository. Additionally the image registry can be monitored to find new versions of images to deploy.

Just like the push-based deployment, this variant updates the environment whenever the environment repository changes. However, with the operator, changes can also be noticed in the other direction. Whenever the deployed infrastructure changes in any way not described in the environment repository, these changes are reverted. This ensures that all changes are made traceable in the Git log, by making all direct changes to the cluster impossible.

In Kubernetes eco-system we have overwhelming numbers of tools to achieve GitOps. let me share some of the tools as below,

Tools

ArgoCD: A GitOps operator for Kubernetes with a web interface

Flux: The GitOps Kubernetes operator by the creators of GitOps — Weaveworks

Gitkube: A tool for building and deploying docker images on Kubernetes using git push

JenkinsX: Continuous Delivery on Kubernetes with built-in GitOps

Terragrunt: A wrapper for Terraform for keeping configurations DRY, and managing remote state

WKSctl: A tool for Kubernetes cluster configuration management based on GitOps principles

Helm Operator: An operator for using GitOps on K8s with Helm

Also check out Weavework’s Awesome-GitOps.

Benefits of GitOps

Faster development

Better Ops

Stronger security guarantees

Easier compliance and auditing

Demo time — We will be using Flux

Prerequisites: You must have running Kubernetes cluster.

Install “Fluxctl”. I have used Ubuntu 18.04 for demo.

sudo snap install fluxctl

2. Create new namespace called “flux”

kubectl create ns flux

3. Setup flux with your environmental repo. We are using repo “flux-get-started”.

export GHUSER="YOURUSER" fluxctl install \ --git-user=${GHUSER} \ --git-email=${GHUSER}@users.noreply.github.com \ --git-url=git@github.com:${GHUSER}/flux-get-started \ --git-path=namespaces,workloads \ --namespace=flux | kubectl apply -f -

4. Set Deploy key in Github. You will need your public key.

fluxctl identity --k8s-fwd-ns flux

5. At this point you must have following pods, Services running on your cluster. (In “flux” and “demo” namespace)

namespace: flux

namespace: demo

6. Let’s test what we have deployed.

kubectl -n demo port-forward deployment/podinfo 9898:9898 & curl localhost:9898

7. Now, lets make small change in repo and commit it to master branch.

By default, Flux git pull frequency is set to 5 minutes. You can tell Flux to sync the changes immediately with:

fluxctl sync --k8s-fwd-ns flux

Wow our changes from our repo has been successfully applied on cluster.

our changes from our repo has been successfully applied on cluster.

Let’s do one more test, assume that by mistake someone has reduced/deleted your pods on production cluster.

By default, Flux git pull frequency is set to 5 minutes. You can tell Flux to sync the changes immediately with:

fluxctl sync --k8s-fwd-ns flux

You have successfully restored your cluster in GitOps way. No Kubectl required!!

Whenever the deployed infrastructure changes in any way not described in the environment repository, these changes are reverted.

Thank You for reading.

Overview of Design Patterns for Microservices

What is Microservice?

Microservice architecture has become the de facto choice for modern application development. I like the definition given by “Martin Fowler”.

In short, the microservice architectural style is an approach to developing a single application as a suite of small services, each running in its own process and communicating with lightweight mechanisms, often an HTTP resource API. These services are built around business capabilities and independently deployable by fully automated deployment machinery. There is a bare minimum of centralized management of these services, which may be written in different programming languages and use different data storage technologies. — Martin Fowler

Principles of microservice architecture:

Scalability

Availability

Resiliency

Independent, autonomous

Decentralized governance

Failure isolation

Auto-Provisioning

Continuous delivery through DevOps

What are design patterns?

Design patterns are commonly defined as time-tested solutions to recurring design problems. Design patterns are not limited to the software. Design patterns have their roots in the work of Christopher Alexander, a civil engineer who wrote about his experience in solving design issues as they related to buildings and towns. It occurred to Alexander that certain design constructs, when used time and time again, lead to the desired effect.

Why we need design patterns?

Design patterns have two major benefits. First, they provide you with a way to solve issues related to software development using a proven solution. Second, design patterns make communication between designers more efficient. Software professionals can immediately picture the high-level design in their heads when they refer the name of the pattern used to solve a particular issue when discussing system design.

Microservices is not just an architecture style, but also an organizational structure.

Do you know the “Conway’s Law”?

Any organization that designs a system (defined broadly) will produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organization’s communication structure. — Melvin Conway, 1968

Microservices Design patterns:

Aggregator Pattern — It talks about how we can aggregate the data from different services and then send the final response to the consumer/frontend.

Proxy Pattern — Proxy just transparently transfers all the requests. It does not aggregate the data that is collected and sent to the client, which is the biggest difference between the proxy and the aggregator. The proxy pattern lets the aggregation of these data done by the frontend.

Chained Pattern — The chain design pattern is very common, where one service is making call to other service and so on. All these services are synchronous calls.

Branch Pattern — A microservice may need to get the data from multiple sources including other microservices. Branch microservice pattern is a mix of Aggregator & Chain design patterns and allows simultaneous request/response processing from two or more microservices.

Shared Resources Pattern — One database per service being ideal for microservices. This is anti-pattern for microservices. But if the application is a monolith and trying to break into microservices, denormalization is not that easy. A shared database per service is not ideal, but that is the working solution for the above scenario.

Asynchronous Messaging Pattern — In an message based communication , the calling service or application publish a message instead of making a call directly to another API or a service. An message consuming application(s) then picks up this message and then carries out the task. This is asynchronous because the calling application or service is not aware of the consumer and the consumer isn’t aware of the called application as well.

There are many other patterns used with microservice architecture, like Sidecar, Event Sourcing Pattern, Continuous Delivery Patterns, and more. The list keeps growing as we get more experience with microservices.

Let me know what microservice patterns you are using.

Thank you for reading :)

The most significant factor to assess business productivity is its ability to execute the overall strategy. However, businesses also need proper employee engagement to ensure that everyone is on the same page. And for that reason, implementing next-gen automated technology is the need of the hour to transform the operations. Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, AR/VR, Big Data, IoT, Blockchain, Chatbots are some names that can enhance the workplace functions.

[wecodeinc]

A mobile app or a website is a lot more than a group of pages connected by several screens and links. In technical language, it is called an interface where the web presence of a company meets, communicates, and affects its target audience in different ways. Such type of interaction has the potential to create an intuitive experience for the visitors. So, it’s a web designer’s job to ensure that experience becomes a significant part of mobile app development services and be as good as possible. The key to making a long-lasting experience is to put the user on the front seat and think from their perspective.

Cloud infrastructure interoperability

Large companies often struggle with long-term solutions for IT infrastructure management and maintenance. As technology changes at a rapid pace, it is possible to enter a dangerous area, such as developing a brand new technology or moving to a new platform. Customizing the infrastructure alone is not enough to meet the demands of future next-generation IT solutions. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt it properly in cloud environments and security systems.

Big data is useful for collecting and storing important company information. If the business modifies the information content or fails during the security process, the security aspects are at risk. Cloud policies allow companies to upgrade their infrastructure while maintaining workforce mobility. Consistent migration to cloud storage environments also avoids major hardware system upgrades.

Some of them have also been adopted from refined and expanded existing solutions to mold them into the ones which cater to more specific needs of small businesses.

For modern small businesses, cloud computing has been proven to be a cost-effective way to access computing power. In more than one way, these services have been able to level up the competition by enabling smaller companies to compete with their larger rivals. In 2020, cloud services will continue to support modern businesses in many different ways. The three most significant reasons why small businesses should consider adopting cloud computing are:

Cloud services work well when they are coupled up with hardware or network components. It’s a lightweight infrastructure solution that delivers software and other capabilities too.

With cloud computing, it is easier to access business tools as it increases the smoothness in handling the processes. Further, it also mitigates the need for having physical business locations and considerably decreases their budgets.

Data privacy is more critical than ever in these times. Cloud computing solutions are well equipped to provide the necessary infrastructure for processing company data needed to comply.

How Cloud Solutions Empower the Business Operations of Small Businesses Figuring out the architectural infrastructure that is best suitable for your business helps companies avoid the risk of moving to the cloud and then regretting the decision afterward. Hence, they must make an adequate assessment of their data requirements and gain an insight into the workload that is suitable for the cloud. For this, they can categorize workload under four key areas: volume of data, integration, security, and performance. Large quantities of relatively static data in the cloud can help in minimizing costs.

However, if data needs intense processing and real-time analysis like performance readings, it might not be feasible to move to the cloud for a small business. By understanding the four vectors, you can build a model and be prepared to choose the right technologies and best configuration for workloads. Here are some ways in which cloud computing solutions enhance business operations:

Facilitates Faster Movement With the rise of cloud computing services, business infrastructures have begun to move quicker. Many cloud service providers now deliver everything a company needs without investing in expensive hardware and software licenses. These service providers facilitate their businesses and help them in acquiring flexible and scalable solutions. These services benefit the companies because they are lightweight and offer ample scope for taking on the IT tasks that could often result in slowing down the operations. Maintaining hardware, patching of software, and regular updates, everything gets carried out behind the walls. With these services, firms spend less time fiddling with technology and more time undertaking operations to thrive.

Collaborates with Innovation With a cloud storage service, employees can access all the information whenever they need, even while working on projects in collaboration. It is quite easy to update the central repository and keep everyone in the loop. The cloud helps keep all the information secure but accessible. This allows employees to stay updated and track each stage of the progress, no matter where the team members are located.

Managing Personalized Relationships with Customers It brings buyers and sellers together on the online marketplace and adds value by generating personalized product recommendations for buyers. With the help of cloud computing, analytics, expanded computing power, and capacity, it can store user preferences. These preferences include the location, demographics, and habits required for the algorithms to run appropriately and derive intelligent insights that enable product or service customization.

They can infer their user preferences from buying behavior and usage patterns and use those analytics to offer customized advertisements, offers, and suggestions. Ultimately, this paradigm helps in uncovering a lot of unchartered possibilities. These possibilities can range from performance improvement of current devices that benefit firms, delivering transformed user experience and satisfaction that ensures customer loyalty.

Simplified Connectivity Across the Ecosystem Ecosystem connectivity is one of the most significant enablers of business that is powered by the cloud. Cloud facilitates collaboration with value chain partners and customers, leading to improvements in productivity and increased innovation. Cloud-based platforms can bring together disparate groups of people who can collaborate and share resources, information, and processes. The trend of “open innovation” empowers the sharing of ideas between companies, partners, and distributors and is powered via cloud-based software solutions.

Some cloud-based deal management platforms also support a streamlined presentation, invoices, negotiations, and reconciliation of trade promotions received from the company’s vendors and distributors in a secure cloud environment. This put an end to several emails, spreadsheets, and faxes that are manually exchanged and decreased the errors associated with such a mode of communication.

Wrapping Up Apart from being fashionable, cloud solutions are also becoming vital to business success. In 2020, cloud service providers will continue to expand their offerings to various small businesses. Small businesses will be on an advantage as cloud solutions will provide them with several options that drive operational efficiency with computing power.

Enhancing Communication in Business Processes with Mobile Applications

A significant reason behind the massive growth of smartphones is the availability of various mobile applications packed with brilliant features and utilities. The modern world has become heavily dependent on apps that have invaded every sphere of our lives and businesses. Mobile apps brought many changes into the marketplace, including how we book hotels, transfer money, order products, and eat out. The modern businesses of all shapes and sizes should think seriously about how to use mobile apps to gain more growth and multiply customer reach.

Previously, mobile apps were more common for big-name brands only. However, in the present-day market, this misconception has been shattered completely when relatively small start-ups took center stage for mobile businesses. Such companies’ triumph signifies the limitless business prospects that can be created by the tiny icons on our mobile screen. The purchasing psychology and strategies of consumers have changed a lot as now they want information about products or services instantly at their fingertips.

The Benefits of Creating A Mobile App for Your Business An app adds the X-factor to your business and helps you expand your customer base and retain your existing customers. If you want a robust online presence and an excellent user experience across your apps that your customers can download to their devices, you can hire mobile app developers in Japan and increase your chances of securing a high ROI. Mobile apps offer a variety of advantages for businesses trying to grow their customer base and increase engagement that demonstrate the importance of developing an app for your company. Here are some of them:

Build Customer Loyalty Apps are more accessible than traditional websites. A mobile app lets you build a direct relationship with your customers. Customers enjoy finding the exact product they are looking for, along with the simple buying option. Some points systems reward customers for purchasing items, and they can also increase their number of points, by trading them for a free added benefit. A mobile app can build customer loyalty with interactive programs that increase user engagement. Mobile apps are easily accessible by users. Customers should feel secure to purchase and interact with your brand in a mobile environment.

If customers are satisfied using your app, they will also suggest it to others. This will give you the mileage to remain a step ahead of your close competitors. It functions as a direct pipeline to your clients and customers. With an increased connection to customers, your company feels more real to users. Apps allow you to resolve customer questions, make them aware of the discounts or offers you provide, and give a platform to interact with the company directly and suggest services the way they want.

Enhancing Workplace Efficiency Internal apps can significantly increase your employee efficiency rates by streamlining work processes. An enterprise resource planning software is designed to improve a company’s productivity and performance. If one of your sales associates is networking for leads, they can take that information and insert it directly into your internal database with a mobile app’s CRM services, rather than writing it down and later adding it to your servers.

The same principle applies to marketing strategies. Workers can instantly add data into your company’s servers through an internal app. Apps can make the lives of your workers easier to increase the chances of them converting a new lead, which ultimately helps you amass more clients. Another critical element of an internal business app is its ability to train workers on-the-go. These apps can offer each of your workers’ access to centralized training resources, and different departments can easily share their expertise. These functionalities help motivate your workers, increase productivity, and encourage continual learning.

Plus, if anything is confusing about how you conduct business in your company, employees can find this information directly in their app instead of emailing a superior. Having all these resources at the click of a button ensures employees can get the information they need immediately, while also demonstrating that your company is willing to go the extra mile to increase team morale.

Optimized Management and Marketing Strategies Thanks to the implementation of project management systems, workers no longer need to be in the same office to share their ideas. Whether at the corporate headquarters or working from home, you and your team can create checklists, appoint tasks, set goals, and monitor progress, all in one application. Businesses that are using project management software are more likely to be more efficient and can save time and resources. The mobile trend has enhanced and streamlined business operations, speeding up processes, and increasing accuracy and quality.

It has now made it easier to exchange emails, send and receive invoices, track expenses, share files, and more. Mobile technology has made production and distribution processes faster and more efficient. Their growing use has led businesses to develop more effective marketing strategies. Many of them have incorporated the use of beacons in their day to day activities as a strategy to make sure that the customers can access personalized information about items and offers in their smartphones.

These strategies enable businesses to track their consumers’ journey and develop marketing strategies that increase leads and sales. The development of mobile technology has opened new ways to sell and advertise products and services, and businesses need to take advantage of this technology to stay competitive. To summarize, it has promoted and improved business communication by ensuring that companies can track their trends and results, which can improve their communication strategies and increase productivity.

Wrapping Up Every company wants its mobile app to succeed and gain a complete return on investment in their services. However, different factors determine the acceleration of your business processes with mobile applications. Businesses need to ensure that an app is configured sufficiently to make it easy to be customized and adapt seamlessly to ever-changing business situations. Security is another critical feature of any mobile business app, and it must have the essential security architecture to protect critical information, customer data, and business process details. Business apps with poor security can often fail and affect the business process adversely. Users usually deactivate an app that is not updated regularly. A business that collects feedback and insights from users and implements it into their update strategy will have its business processes accelerate.

Customers will be more likely to trust your brand when there are regular updates fixing bugs and adding new features. WeCode is a leading mobile app development company in Japan, specializing in technologies that are essential for your mobile business app. Mobile apps improve the business processes for companies, so it’s crucial to invest in having them to improve the chances of your company competing in the global market. The dedicated app developers continuously work towards raising the level of user experiences through stunning User Interfaces. By providing customized solutions, we aim to bring mobility and brand awareness to your business.

How Businesses Can Enhance Operational Agility with Cloud SaaS Apps

Many businesses are increasingly leaning towards deploying, developing, and testing their applications in the cloud. The most significant reason behind this is that cloud development is a manifestation of different components all bound together. Such components include an integrated infrastructure, managing the entire lifecycle of an app from testing to continuous delivery, and application security.

Cloud-based SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) applications enable businesses to become scalable, flexible, and secure. Plus, a SaaS-based environment provides a broader scope to operate as the cloud application development helps in bridging this gap by providing interacting tools and modules. Reduction in such limitations helps in building resilience in the apps that eventually leads to better performance.

Key Points to Consider Before Developing a Cloud-based SaaS AppBusinesses face many instances where they need to make sure all of their connections operate accurately. Movements of information can cause many bottlenecks – and this is where SaaS apps take center stage. Here are some areas to consider such software deployment:

High-Quality Constant Services Cloud deployment has one key feature where clients can select which services and providers they want. These apps are easy to install and automatically update themselves regularly. Since such apps perform all the computing tasks in an already structured product, it eliminates the need to continue working on improving the quality of services. Clients can choose a suitable platform for regular operations, bringing effectiveness in the environment, and balancing it through the evolving technologies. Tools like Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure enable you to navigate through remote locations seamlessly. Browsing your sites from anywhere and anytime through a Content Delivery Network (CDN) eventually helps in enhancing the overall browsing speed and experience.

Security of Exposed Systems The integration of different services in infrastructure is a complex task for businesses. Also, they have to interact with outside partners and customers increasingly. It increases the chances of exposing your systems to external systems while exchanging different processes and data. Traditional cloud systems can aggravate the possibilities of extending security processes, which can lead to the data breach. Hence, cloud-based SaaS applications implement Kubernetes consulting services, enabling businesses to examine all the connected systems thoroughly. Such apps encourage the interaction of thousands of small modules, track the connections, and figure out which system connects to another one.

Managing Database and Queuing Developing an application in the cloud is a challenging task because of the dynamic nature of configurations. It may turn out to be a problem for businesses to keep track of all virtual machines allocated for testing. The server also runs continuously, which can increase operational expenses too. SaaS apps provide many benefits in such cases as they are flexible and agile. Hence, it creates an organized database that is document-oriented compared to a traditional relational one. The document-oriented database consists of independent instances that retrieve its type information from the data. It considerably decreases the size of the database and enables a smoother experience while programming. Plus, SaaS apps in cloud deployment have distinct time to exchange communication in an asynchronous way that leaves a broader scope for interacting with third parties.

Researching Market and Technologies Even if you intend to prioritize the delivery of quality services to your customers, you also need to ensure that these services are compatible with your chosen SaaS service model. Here’s where you need to consider researching the technologies available for you in the market and the targeted end-users. The most significant element is to provide a monetary value for the services you are offering to them. Apart from that, it is equally essential to make sure that your business is in a recurring stage and has the utmost clarity. Simultaneously, your business should also be able to attract a broader range of users. It is significant to note that cloud-based SaaS services can provide immense benefits for more substantial user coverage as it increases usability when new features keep introducing.

Final Thoughts Developing a cloud infrastructure SaaS application in the increasingly evolving digital world is a challenging task for businesses. Hence, it is always advisable to seek expert consultant services from professional developers to see everything that turns out smoothly. WeCode is a leading company that offers services of cloud application development.

Businesses in every industry are quickly adopting Cloud computing to reduce their on-premises workloads. In fact, the last few years have seen a steady rise in availing the services of both private and public clouds. Cloud computing has proven to bring efficiency in businesses, reduce costs concerns, and gives a competitive edge.

However, there are still many businesses that are quite skeptical about adopting it for their daily operations. Cloud computing services like Docker deployment consulting, Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, and Google Cloud Platform are providing many benefits to businesses. Eventually, they are making them recognize how to increase overall productivity levels and serve their customers too.

How a Business Can Avail Benefits with Cloud Computing

As the scenario is increasingly becoming digital and vulnerable to security, it is also becoming challenging to protect their data and systems running smoothly on the premises. A study conducted by the Salesforce Group reveals that around 94% of businesses witnessed a rise in securing their data once they switched to cloud computing. Here are some of the benefits that your business can avail from cloud services:

Flexible and Mobile

It becomes difficult for a business to look after all the operations and still manage to reach their business goals. Cloud computing offers an organized and flexible approach with extra bandwidth and instantly meeting all IT infrastructure demands. Instead of restructuring the IT updates, freedom of flexibility can increase overall operational efficiency.

Moreover, businesses can easily access all the corporate data via any device that helps in keeping everyone in the loop. Whether they are working from another country, traveling, freelancing; cloud computing services enable easy access to every piece of information. Cloud can store, retrieve, recover, or process all the resources and even update automatically. It eventually helps in saving a lot of time, team efforts, and reduces the workload.

Deep Insights

Digital data is the most precious piece of information in today’s age. Thousands and millions of data streams generated through customer interactions and transactions hold a lot of significance for businesses. The information received in the business processes holds immense importance in terms of actionable data that can be identified. Cloud computing makes sorting and sifting such information easier by offering solutions for integrated analytics. It provides a bird’s eye view of all your data for easy implementation, tracking, and building customized reports for the overall analysis.

Recovery and Prevention

Control is probably the prime concern for every business. However, quality control is always going to be amiss when it’s about controlling all the processes. Plus, even a small amount of unproductive downtime can really have adverse effects on productivity and revenue. Cloud computing provides recovery services for your critical data by preventing and anticipating disasters that might be harmful to your business. It recovers data quickly for any type of emergency scenario like natural or electricity outages.

Another great benefit of cloud computing is that it prevents your organization from losing vital data. Instead of storing on the local computer or any other on-premises hardware, you can store them in cloud resources. Equipment might experience a malfunction, age deterioration or a simple error and you can lose all data. Cloud helps in preventing such losses or even unintentional thefts.

Secured and Scalable

Data breaches can massively affect the company’s reputation, customers, and revenues. With cloud storage protection, it becomes easier to implement baseline protections for all their operations, data processing, authentication, controlling access, and even data encryption. Businesses can avail of these benefits from cloud providers to enhance their security measures to protect sensitive information.

Every business has different needs depending on the size of their team. Cloud storage solutions offer the flexibility to scale up or down the IT infrastructure requirements according to the demands of a business. If you have a growing company and want to expand further, cloud storage is mobile and caters according to the capacity. Without investing in physical infrastructure, cloud scalability can also decrease the maintenance and operational hiccups.

Concluding Thoughts

Cloud services can be an excellent solution for protecting, securing, and preventing losses of your critical business data.

Top Practices for a Customer-Centric App Design

Customer-Centric App Design

Customers usually opt for a new, better app if the design is slow, undesirable, or challenging to get used to with it. Designers can often land in complicated situations if they don’t maintain consistency throughout the working life of an app. It might also make it difficult for them to keep users attracted for the longer term. It’s challenging to design an app with intuitive simplicity without it becoming repetitive and boring. An app has to offer pleasing design and UX details without losing sight of a higher purpose.

Basic App Designing Practices for Great First Impression The proper balance for first impressions can be a lengthy onboarding process to discover necessary features and the ones that may bore users. Creating an intuitive app that introduces engaging features and yet doesn’t confuse them is a delicate balancing act. Here are some tips for maintaining that balance:

Screens and Elements Loading screens are still a vital part of an intuitive mobile app design experience and need careful handling. It can signify that, when faced with a loading screen, provide entertainment in the form of subtle animations. While the screen loads data, you can also display skeleton screen wireframes for showing a format. Skeleton screens can instill a sense that the data is loading faster. This also includes button sizes, texts, and other elements of design, and designers must consider the keyboard sizes too.

Visual acuity is also crucial that includes graphics, text, and color palettes, which should be viewable from a distance. Mobile app design elements should be large enough to be viewed from a reasonable distance and accurately touched with an average-sized finger pad. Most people hold their device, on the one hand, that means it should be accessible to all the reachable screen zones. Placing important features and frequently used elements in the bottom three-quarters of the screen will enhance user satisfaction.

Clarity of Intentions A well-balanced design is a perfect concoction of having a clear purpose and intention. Instead of following an ongoing trend, designers can focus on solving a specific customer problem, catering to a niche, or providing a unique service. An app’s purpose impacts every step and decision right from the branding, the wireframing, and the button aesthetics. If the objective is clear, each piece of the app will communicate and function as a coherent whole.

When an app conveys such a vision to the potential users, they understand the value an app brings to their life. The idea needs to be clearly and quickly communicated from the user’s first impression to improve their experience, provide some enjoyment or comfort. Similarly, if they want to enter an already established market, they can study other apps as a baseline. The default onboarding flow might adequately inform early adopters who understand the solution and vision for the product. As more users come aboard, the standards can also become higher.

User Flow Optimization Designers can focus more on the thoughtful planning of an app’s UX architecture before jumping into design work. Before they get into the wireframing stage, they can map out the user flow and structure of an app. Instead of delving deep into producing aesthetics and details, they can concentrate more on the necessary logic or navigation within an app. It is always better to slow down a bit and sketch out the flow of the app instead of worrying about the finer details.

The biggest reason for an app’s success is usually the convenience, organization, and user flow, rather than the details. However, as the process takes off, the big picture can always focus more on the aspects and aesthetics to evoke and reinforce the more significant concept. It is equally essential to build interfaces for those users who will don’t bother with the onboarding tour. This means designing natural elements that can be self-taught on first use.

Optimum Features Rigorous wireframing and prototyping can make the distinction between necessary and excessive functions clear. Cramming unnecessary features in an app can lead to disoriented user experience, and also make it challenging to promote. Scaling down the elements is always hard, but it’s necessary to go with just two or three features initially to gain the users and momentum. Later, you can add more features that resonate with the users and test them.

This way, the additional features are less likely to interfere with the crucial first few days of an app’s life. Intricate UX design can create an environment of function creep that can occur when the product offers more features than customers need, confusing the users. Functional design advocates for clean and simple design elements, making it clear what the product or feature does.

Notifications and Context Purpose and goals can also get irrelevant if they don’t have an appropriate context attached to it. The UI for a given app may seem obvious to the designers, but users from different demographics won’t find familiarity in it. Hence, it is always important to consider the immediate context or situation. You would also want to consider the duration for app-accessibility with regards to the content, and a way to convey it to the users while mapping out the flow.

Push notifications are another tricky part where users might turn them off entirely if they are too many, or too few. Apart from the frequency, the content is also essential while pushing out notifications. Useful notifications like daily check-ins are better than random updates about the news that doesn’t directly affect the user. Every notification is a microinteraction that can either enhance the user experience or even prompt them to delete the app altogether.

Testing for Consistencies If designers want to introduce a new concept or standard, they also need to make it consistent across the app. Instead of implementing a new idea out of each piece of content, they can keep the uniformity across all sections of content. A uniform format also needs proper texts, UI elements behaving predictably, and a balance between consistency and pleasant features.

Design consistency must be a combination of existing common visual language and aesthetics. Designers can also analyze the use of their apps with a feedback loop to learn what is and isn’t working. It’s imperative to bring in fresh eyes to really dig into the drafts of the app instead of testing in-house. This can be a great way to iron out details, edit features, and find what’s missing. Beta testing can be a time consuming process, but it’s a better alternative.

Final Words Mobile app design is as important to user experience as technical functionality. While the business logic of mobile apps appeals to our rational senses, app design appeals to our emotions and creativity. It’s important for design teams to recognize just how competitive the mobile app market is and to do whatever possible to differentiate their services as against the others occupying the same segment. a leading mobile app development company WeCode, aims to provide a coherent vision of what the mobile app is hoping to achieve. By following the above practices and developing an iterative design wireframe process that incorporates user feedback, our developers help you create an app that stands out in the crowd.

Enhancing Transparency in Food Industry with Blockchain

The food and restaurant industry involves many intermediaries for handling and distributing the products and services to their consumers. It results in dealing with several challenges in the way, starting from food security, shortage, health concerns, and many others. Blockchain technology can prove to be highly advantageous with an open-source digital tracking system for streamlining the entire food supply chain.

The shared digital database of blockchain app development services can increase the levels of transparency as each participant can see the changes in it. It’s a speedy and accurate way of monitoring the food supply chains as managers can easily check and confirm daily shipments. Blockchain has several applications in the food industry that can affect almost every part of the business, like food sourcing, reviews, and promotions.

Essential Ways in Which Blockchain Impacts Food Sector Blockchain can efficiently track the harvested product, farms from where it came from, the transit areas, set temperatures, and even trace a bad product batch. It can present unique opportunities for the restaurant industry in terms of finances, customer experiences, and supply chain sourcing. Here are some ways where the restaurant and the food industry can consider implementing Blockchain:

Supply Management Storing supply management information on the Blockchain makes it tamper-resistant. It can save corporations billions of dollars every year in the transportation of goods due to an inefficient supply chain system. The food industry can use such solutions for improving the production and transportation of products by storing supply chain data. They can use RFID (Radio-frequency identification) chips in every stop of the supply chain and benefit from their private Blockchain.

It allows them to track and authenticate their shipments every step of the way and brings down the overall transportation cost. Notifications could then be sent to those restaurants that received the tainted products, which could then potentially save a restaurant’s reputation.

Food Authenticity Blockchain can become a highly accessible and immutable design for providing consumers with concrete, immutable data about their food. Producers can utilize systems like enhanced water testing sensor mechanisms for increasing buffer zones between leafy green growers and livestock operations. These sensors, along with water and pesticide precision delivery systems, can connect to form a Blockchain network for gathering data and employing it.

It can also offer a way for farmers to get an opportunity to interact with customers and disseminate more information regarding how and why they grow food the way they do. Blockchain enables farmers to get data to consumers with proper context and help consumers make informed decisions about their food. Some other services include information about the growing condition of crops, factory conditions, batch numbers, expiration dates, storage, and shipping data. It enables end-users to identify how products traveled and provide them a sense of authenticity and accountability in the system.

Payment Systems Restaurants often face problems while dealing with cash directly to digital forms of payment due to the high transfer cost paid by the owners of restaurants. By contrast, all payments made via the Blockchain are irreversible, and therefore there is no need for any of the customer support. All of these things make it cheaper to transact with Blockchain with benefits like feeless transactions using new data structures.

The benefits to restaurant owners can be immense as they have to wait for lesser time for bank settlements, and there are no fee payments. Blockchain can speed up the payment process by assisting farmers by guaranteeing more value and better selling chances directly to the consumers. It can transform the agriculture and food industry by reducing transaction fees and intermediaries by preventing price coercion too.

Reviews and Promotions Restaurants are in direct contact with the end consumer, and therefore have a better idea of what they want. Hence, they also want to validate their claims by ensuring their suppliers do so as well and the ingredients used are safe, without disclosing the procedures and recipes. Here, the Blockchain with a smart self-executing contract would place the order only when the suppliers disclose their ingredients privately to the restaurant. The Blockchain would verify these ingredients and validate them all along, maintaining the privacy for recipes.

It lets consumers to independently verify items, food origins, and whether the restaurant is living up to its claims. Additionally, Blockchain can also reduce false and misleading restaurant reviews that pose a problem for both restaurants and customers. It can store such reviews without any alteration, that can bring more authenticity and ease to know which comments are honest or fabricated.

Wrapping Up Blockchain technology can help address all these issues with proper tracking and monitoring to sustain a friendly environment between farmers, suppliers, producers, manufacturers, and owners. It can massively increase the traceability and transparency across the world food supply chains and become a new benchmark. As the retailers and suppliers look forward to implementing the forces of Blockchain technology, WeCode emerges as a leading Blockchain app development company that adopts this idea as the most tenable in the food industry. We have the required experience, expertise, and capability to handle many transactions simultaneously by making it advanced enough to handle a massive amount of generated data.
