It’s used by millions of web applications and has a strong ecosystem of core contributors and library builders. In this episode, I interview Minko Gechev, Developer Relations Lead at Google. We explore several aspects of open-source software development, The post Angular Dev Tools with Minko Gechev appeared first on Software Engineering Daily .

By most accounts, the first databases came on line in the 1960s. This class of software has continued to evolve alongside the technology it runs on and the applications it supports. In the early days, databases were typically closed source commercial products. Today, databases run in the cloud on distributed systems. Increasingly, the leading tools The post Distributed Open Source Databases with Jonathan Ellis and Spencer Kimball appeared first on Software Engineering Daily .

ETL stands for “extract, transform, load” and refers to the process of integrating data from many different sources into one location, usually a data warehouse. This process has become especially important for companies as they use many different services to collect and manage data. The company Grouparoo provides an open source framework that helps you The post Grouparoo Open Source Data Tools with Brian Leonard appeared first on Software Engineering Daily .

In the late 1970s a printer at MIT kept jamming, resulting in regular pileups of print jobs in the printer’s queue. To solve this problem, some computer scientists wrote a software program that alerted every user in the backed up queue “The printer is jammed, please fix it.” When a man named Richard Stallmen was The post Publishing Open Source Code with William Morgan appeared first on Software Engineering Daily .

The term “boilerplate code” refers to code sections that are repeated across many projects with little to no variation. Every developer is familiar with boilerplate code, whether it be pom.xml files in Java or setting up React.js applications, tweaking boilerplate code for every project is inevitable. Actually, the company Wasp believes writing boilerplate code doesn’t The post Wasp-Lang: Boilerplate Code with Matija Sosic appeared first on Software Engineering Daily .

Many startups today begin their life as an open-source project. Open source projects allow early adopters of a technology to experiment, to contribute code and feedback, and to shape the evolution of the project in its early stages. When a “community maintainer” company emerges to provide service offerings based on that project, its early customer The post Developer Community Management with Patrick Woods and Josh Dzielak appeared first on Software Engineering Daily .

ELT, or “Extract, Load, and Transform,” is the process that modern data pipelines use to replicate data from a source and load it into a target system such as a cloud data warehouse.

Observability is a key feature of a well-architected application. Because building an observability system for a cloud application can be challenging, especially at scale, many organizations elect to use third-party observability platforms rather than build internal tools. But these third-party provider contracts often charge by volume of data collected, which can be unpredictable and difficult The post Opstrace: Open Source Observability with Sebastien Pahl appeared first on Software Engineering Daily .

As the volume and scope of data collected by an organization grow, tasks such as data discovery and data management grow in complexity.
