In this blog post, we'll dive into what a preview environment is, why it's essential, and how it can revolutionize your development workflow.

Streamline code quality: Integrating SonarCloud and SonarQube scanning with Kosli for automated compliance

Static code analysis is an important part of testing your software to ensure it is release-ready. In contrast to dynamic testing, which involves executing your code to find errors, static analysis uses automated tools to “look” through the code, without executing it, to find potential errors (including potential security issues) and bugs. Since the code does not need to be executed, static testing can begin much earlier in development than dynamic testing.

The 4 Types Of Cloud Computing: Choosing The Best Model

There are four main cloud delivery models (cloud computing services) and four major cloud deployment models (types of cloud computing). Each model is unique, and that affects how it impacts cloud management, data security, and cost management, among other considerations. Here’s exactly what each cloud computing model provides and how to choose the best option for your needs.

The Need for Speed: Highlights from IBM and Catchpoint's Global DNS Performance Study

Despite DNS being the backbone of Internet connectivity, reliable metrics for benchmarking DNS performance are surprisingly scarce. This gap often leaves IT teams navigating in the dark, unable to effectively gauge how their DNS configurations stack up against industry standards. To address this pressing need, Catchpoint worked with IBM NS1 Connect to provide a clear, data-driven picture of DNS performance.

BEGIN TRY/BEGIN CATCH vs GOTO in SQL Server

When handling errors in SQL Server, SQL developers have several options for resolving issues that arise during query execution. Two commonly used methods are BEGIN TRY/BEGIN CATCH and GOTO. While both serve to manage and respond to errors, they do so in distinct ways. In this article, we’ll compare BEGIN TRY/BEGIN CATCH and GOTO, exploring their use cases, advantages, and potential drawbacks to help you choose the best approach for your SQL Server error-handling needs.
