Knowing how to handle redirects is important if you want your site to perform well despite all those changes. Adding and removing content, changing domains, reorganizing, and more are some things that happen on a website. To achieve this, you can create redirect rules in a .htaccess file at the server configuration level. What Is a .htaccess File? Even if you don't have access to the main configuration files for Apache servers, .htaccess files allow you to make configuration changes. .htaccess files operate on an individual directory basis. They are useful if you need to create a rule that only applies to one directory and its subdirectories. They also prevent you from having to edit the main configuration files of your server. The .htaccess file uses the same syntax as the root configuration file, allowing you to use any directives normally found in the server configuration files. According to Apache's official documentation, it is recommended that you only use .htaccess...

Modern web applications are often built based on powerful JavaScript features, such as Angular, React, and Vue.js. Those web applications can be hosted anywhere, but you might need more than just hosting. Several big cloud companies, including Heroku, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft Azur, offer practically everything you can ask for, while new competitors, such as Netlify, aim to provide an outstanding user experience for creating modern websites. This article will discuss these platforms and their features: Heroku, Netlify, Amazon Web Services, Azure, Firebase, and Digital Ocean. Heroku The Heroku cloud platform was one of the earliest in June 2007. In addition to Ruby, it supports Python, PHP, Scala, Node.js, Go, Java, and many other popular languages. In Heroku, sites are hosted on a virtual system called Dynos that runs web servers. You can execute Linux commands using Dynos. Dynos can be customized and scalable to your requirements. PaaS prov...

SaaS which is the acronym for Software as a service refers to the cloud-based delivery of software to users. instead of purchasing an application once and installing it, users subscribe to it. SaaS applications can be accessed from any compatible device through the Internet. the application itself is run by cloud servers, which may be hundreds of miles away from the user's location. Its provider manages access to the application, including security, availability, and performance. SaaS applications run on the provider's servers. Whatever the name, these applications run on a provider's servers. In this article, we will get familiar with SaaS and see why we use it. What is SaaS? Software as a service (SaaS) refers to a software distribution model in which a cloud provider hosts applications and makes them available to end users over the internet. An independent software vendor (ISV) might contract with a cloud provider to host the application in this model. In ...

In the previous articles we have discussed the benefits of using the Vue.js front-end framework. In this article, we are going to see how we can quickly create and deploy a web application using Vue. Of course, you can create any kind of web application according to your taste and need and the main focus of this tutorial-based article is not on the application itself but mostly on the configuration, installation of the packages, and deployment of the web application. As a result, we will consider the default written script in the App.vue and main.js as it is - You can replace your own code in them - And will work on using Netlify to host our files. If you are not familiar with Netlify we will introduce it in the first section of this article. What is Netlify? As web developers, we worry about how to distribute or serve our applications to customers after completing the main task of creating applications customers can use. To deploy your Vue JS application, you can use a variety o...

This article mainly focuses on three different types of python web frameworks including Django, Flask, and Fast API. The purpose of this article is to discuss three frameworks that are used for the development of Python-based web applications. Besides understanding these frameworks, we will also look at their advantages and disadvantages. Finally, we will compare these frameworks on the basis of several important parameters. We will cover the following major points in this article. Django Framework: Django is a free and open-source web framework based on Python. Developed in 2003 by Adrian Holovaty and Simon Willison, it follows the model-view-template (MVT) architecture pattern. Due to its robust behavior, it is now one of the most popular frameworks in the world. There are many giant websites such as Instagram, Mozilla, Nextdoor, and Clubhouse that use Django to build complex database-driven websites. one of its primary goals is to make it easy to develop complex database-d...

Denial-of-Service attacks (DoS) shut down a machine or network by flooding it with traffic or sending information that triggers it to crash, preventing its users from accessing it. DoS attacks accomplish this by flooding the target with traffic. The DoS attack robs legitimate users (e.g. employees, members, or account holders) of the services or resources they expect. Often, DoS attacks target the web servers of high-profile organizations, such as banks, commerce, and media firms, as well as government agencies and trade associations. Although DoS attacks rarely result in the theft or loss of significant information or assets, they can cost the victim a lot of time and money to handle. How Does a DoS Attack happen? Often, DoS events are caused by the overloading of a service's underlying systems. In order to clarify how overload-based DoS attacks work, let's imagine an attack on a shopping website. The requests that you make when you shop online pass through your Int...

Kubernetes also known as "K8s", automates the deployment and management of cloud-native applications by orchestrating containerized applications running on a cluster of hosts. With this tool, workloads are distributed across a cluster and dynamic container networking is automated. It allocates storage and persistent volumes to running containers, scales automatically, and continuously maintains the desired state of applications, providing resilience. The Kubernetes platform is an open-source platform for managing containerized workloads and services. It facilitates declarative configuration as well as automation. There is a large, rapidly expanding ecosystem of Kubernetes services, support, and tools available. Why Do we need Kubernetes? When it comes to the necessity of Kubernetes, the summarized answer is that it saves developers and operators a lot of time and effort, allowing them to focus on building the features they need instead of trying to figure out and i...

WSGI is a specification for how a server and application communicate. Both the server interface, as well as the application interface, are specified in PEP 3333. A WSGI application (or framework or toolkit) can be stacked on any server that conforms to the WSGI specification. These applications are compatible with each other. A middleware piece must implement both sides of the WSGI interface: the application on top, and the application below. For a middleware piece to be a middleware piece, it must implement both sides of the WSGI interface, application, and server. WSGI Overview: There were about 14 million users on the web in 1993, and 100 websites. Pages were static at the time, but dynamic content, such as news and data, was already necessary. Rob McCool and others implemented the Common Gateway Interface (CGI) for the HTTPd web server of the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA). Since then, the number of Internet users has exploded, and dynamic webs...

Several development teams are focusing on Docker as one of their favorite container-based platforms. It is becoming increasingly popular due to its reliability, performance, and functionality. The open-source containerization software and its underlying components must therefore be understood. In this article, we will focus on Docker, containers, use cases of Docker, its advantages, and its differences from Virtual Machines. What is Docker? The Docker containerization platform provides a lightweight virtualized environment called a container that allows developers to develop, deploy, and manage applications. It serves primarily as a development platform for distributed applications that can operate in a variety of environments. By making the software system agnostic, developers don’t have to worry about compatibility issues. Since Docker utilizes virtualization to create containers to store apps, the concept may seem similar to virtual machines. Also, packaging apps into iso...
