In our previous post, we took a simple walk through on getting started with ruby on AWS lambda. If you have not read it yet, I strongly recommend to have a quick glance over it here.

Recently, we were faced with a very trivial yet challenging issue in Sidekiq. One of our models gets updated frequently which results in triggering a bunch of after_update callbacks that sends a reindex signal to our Elasticsearch engine.

I has been a long time since I coded in Ruby and I have to work in Ruby project now. So as a refresher started doing the Koans. I should say the experience (read it as enlightenment) was awesome.

Recently we faced a situation where we have to retain a pretty big form data if the user got redirected back to our site from payment gateway in case of payment failure. We chose local storage to resolve this issue. Let’s see how we implemented local storage using Vuex.

Lazily loaded routes is a popular technique for faster page loading by splitting the build file into many chunks and load it on demand. Vue’s async component feature and webpack’s code splitting feature made it easy to lazy-load route components.

We often develop our DL models without many difficulties but training them with a huge amount of dataset is always a painful task when you have limited computing resources.

Detecting objects is one of the elementary problems in the Computer vision world. This is very crucial and often falls under the initial layers determining the Quality of data.

When it comes to Full-Text text search Elasticsearch does an amazing job and has a plethora of ways to search for data to your heart’s content. Most of the times, it matters how you index the data. With Lucene’s powerful Inverted Index fueling ES, we will look into how to make use of one of its elementary search techniques for Full-Text Search - simple_query_string

The most valuable asset for any organization is their employees. The abilities to source, engage, and retain qualified talents are some of the main catalysts in driving the long-term success of an organization. With heavy competition for talents across all industries, the ability to hire the best talents is a high priority for organizations. Especially, for a startup, it is very much necessary to have the right resources in place because it could make or break the company in the early stages.

Amazon Web Services(AWS) recently announced Ruby support for lambda. Here at Francium Tech, we were so excited and took it for a test drive right away. Let me walk you through how we get Lambda features up and running in Ruby.

There is a common misconception among Software Engineers to have a lot of code inside a model and that it is perfectly fine backed by the theory of having “Fat” Models and Skinny Controllers. Is it correct? Absolutely. However, when you inspect the code in detail, what they’ve written or designed are not “fat”, but “bloated” models.
