An instrument for value-added benefits like increased agility, speed and reduced costs along with serverless computing and dynamic provisioning, DevOps practices have been found wanting in cases requiring a secure delivery of code.

Welcome to the world of web components. Adhering with existing web standards, web components are nothing but a collection of technologies combined to allow developers to create reusable components(bundles of HTML, CSS, JavaScript).

From the construction of ramps at sidewalk crossings to adding… Read more
