The current state of quantum computing
Posted on December 7, 2023, Level beginner Resource Length long
Understanding the concept of quantum physics lays the foundation for distinguishing how quantum computers differ from classical ones. Unlike the binary logic used by classical computers, where computation is confined to zeros and ones, quantum computers leverage a state known as superposition, which allows for simultaneous existence of zeroes and ones.

Improving Node.js performance using Rust
Posted on November 10, 2023, Level beginner Resource Length medium
Node.js is a popular JavaScript runtime for writing backend applications. Its flexibility and nonblocking nature have made it the premier choice for API consumption. It's important to note that Node.js, which is single-threaded, isn't ideal for heavy computational tasks as blocking the main thread with lengthy calculations can lead to performance issues. Fortunately, Node.js supports worker threads, providing a way to handle such intensive tasks without blocking the main thread. By Anshul Goyal.

Nginx security. Control resources and limits.
Posted on October 27, 2023, Level beginner Resource Length medium
Nginx is one of the best popular webservers today. Its popularity is due to the fact that it is very fast and easy to set up. Other side of this popularity - nginx is often being a target of malicious attacks. So, if your nginx is not limited by available resources, your server may totally "fall" when nginx spent all system resources. That's why you should control and limit resources Nginx consumed.

How IKEA Retail standardizes docker images for efficient machine learning model deployment
Posted on October 22, 2023, Level beginner Resource Length long
What do Docker and IKEA Retail have in common? Both companies have changed how products are built, stored, and shipped. In IKEA Retail's case, they created the market of flat-packed furniture items, which made everything from shipping, warehousing, and delivering their furniture to the end location much easier and more cost effective. This parallels what Docker has done for developers. Docker has changed the way that software is built, shipped, and stored, with Docker Images taking up much less space "shelf" space.
