And Keep Your Hot Code ReloadingLicensed from Adobe Stock PhotoI’ve seen a lot of articles lately suggesting how to use Docker for development. I haven’t seen one yet that does it correctly.Obviously, correctly, is subjective, but I’d like to compare the typical wisdom, vs. how I usually approach the problem.The Conventional WisdomIn many tutorials, the first thing introduced is the Dockerfile.At the foundation of any Dockerized application, you will find a Dockerfile — ▻https://blog.codeship.com/using-docker-compose-for-nodejs-development/It apparently, is the foundation.The first several results on Google all suggest the first thing you need is a Dockerfile, as well.After all, how can you have a Docker environment without creating a Dockerfile?I’m here to tell that while this is true for (...)

The nightmare for everyone working on Web or Node applications is probably waking up to this:The media was quick in picking up the story and now there is a massive scandal about Crypto and security and #javascript — the perfect recipe. And it is more than this: this scandal is fundamentally and legitimately questioning the way we build (open source) software with Node.js.TL;DRNPM modules should be multi-signed. Certificates and trust models should be handled on the #blockchain. Open source developers sign packages and receive a share based on their contribution to paid software. This is made possible and automatically handled by crypto payments and smart contracts. Instead of publishing rights, new maintainers = potential hackers are only granted counter-signing rights. Automatic signature (...)

Photo by Elijah O’Donell on UnsplashAs the news broke about Instagram hitting one billion monthly active users, I couldn’t help but create an account of my own and try to win myself some following.Given my keen interest in IT, however, I wished to take the opportunity to test some real-world applications of what I had been learning and do so (gain followers, that is) using a bot, instead of putting in all the tedious work.First thing I did was check for an Instagram API. To no avail, however, as it turned out to be a useless, outdated piece of software.And although Facebook has been releasing new Instagram API recently, they only support business clients.But hey, that’s no problem — I thought — I can create one of my own.And that is precisely what we will learn today.If you think about it, (...)

Stream powers feeds for over 300+ million end users. With all of those users relying on our infrastructure, we’re very good about testing everything that gets pushed into production. Our primary codebase is written in Go, with some remaining bits of Python.Our recent showcase application, Winds 2.0, is built with Node.js and we quickly learned that our usual testing methods in Go and Python didn’t quite fit. Furthermore, creating a proper test suite requires a bit of upfront work in Node.js as the frameworks we are using don’t offer any type of built-in test functionality.Setting up a good test framework can be tricky regardless of what language you’re using. In this post, we’ll uncover the hard parts of testing with Node.js, the various tooling we decided to utilize in Winds 2.0, and point (...)
