[Post Event] Keyboards & Mice Cluj-Napoca

By
Yesterday evening iQuest had organized an IT event in Cluj-Napoca - Keyboard & Mice. Almost 100 people participate to this event. There were 5 speakers that are working (or used to work) in iQuest.
The session were very interesting and presented IT industry from different perspective. In this kind of events you realise that IT is more than 'code'.
Below you can find the event schedule:

  • Welcome speech – Mihai Barabas, Head of PMO, iQuest Group
  • How to crunch 1M messages per second in 4 easy steps – Radu Vunvulea, Technical Lead, iQuest Group
  • You don’t have a [brilliant] future as a developer if … – Andrei Olar, Developer
  • Highly secured cloud-based reporting and analytics platform – Mihai Josan, Senior Software Engineer
  • Mobile Already Is the Future – Andrei Hegedus, Technical Lead, iQuest Group
At the end of this post you will be able to find the slides from my presentation. 
After the event we had a special contest called "Drunk Programing Contest". The short story is very simple: "You need to resolve problems from TopCoder and drink". Perfect event for a programmer (smile). This time we had something special, a water dispenser full with wine - hot or cold. Yes, we had a lot of fun.

How to audit an Azure Cosmos DB

By
In this post, we will talk about how we can audit an Azure Cosmos DB database. Before jumping into the problem let us define the business requirement: As an Administrator I want to be able to audit all changes that were done to specific collection inside my Azure Cosmos DB. The requirement is simple, but can be a little tricky to implement fully. First of all when you are using Azure Cosmos DB or any other storage solution there are 99% odds that you’ll have more than one system that writes data to it. This means that you have or not have control on the systems that are doing any create/update/delete operations. Solution 1: Diagnostic Logs Cosmos DB allows us activate diagnostics logs and stream the output a storage account for achieving to other systems like Event Hub or Log Analytics. This would allow us to have information related to who, when, what, response code and how the access operation to our Cosmos DB was done. Beside this there is a field that specifies what was th...

Cloud Myths: Cloud is Cheaper (Pill 1 of 5 / Cloud Pills)

By
Cloud Myths: Cloud is Cheaper (Pill 1 of 5 / Cloud Pills) The idea that moving to the cloud reduces the costs is a common misconception. The cloud infrastructure provides flexibility, scalability, and better CAPEX, but it does not guarantee lower costs without proper optimisation and management of the cloud services and infrastructure. Idle and unused resources, overprovisioning, oversize databases, and unnecessary data transfer can increase running costs. The regional pricing mode, multi-cloud complexity, and cost variety add extra complexity to the cost function. Cloud adoption without a cost governance strategy can result in unexpected expenses. Improper usage, combined with a pay-as-you-go model, can result in a nightmare for business stakeholders who cannot track and manage the monthly costs. Cloud-native services such as AI services, managed databases, and analytics platforms are powerful, provide out-of-the-shelve capabilities, and increase business agility and innovation. H...

Cloud Myths: Migrating to the cloud is quick and easy (Pill 2 of 5 / Cloud Pills)

By
The idea that migration to the cloud is simple, straightforward and rapid is a wrong assumption. It’s a common misconception of business stakeholders that generates delays, budget overruns and technical dept. A migration requires laborious planning, technical expertise and a rigorous process.  Migrations, especially cloud migrations, are not one-size-fits-all journeys. One of the most critical steps is under evaluation, under budget and under consideration. The evaluation phase, where existing infrastructure, applications, database, network and the end-to-end estate are evaluated and mapped to a cloud strategy, is crucial to ensure the success of cloud migration. Additional factors such as security, compliance, and system dependencies increase the complexity of cloud migration.  A misconception regarding lift-and-shits is that they are fast and cheap. Moving applications to the cloud without changes does not provide the capability to optimise costs and performance, leading to ...
