Effective Scaling Of Applications – Tips and Tricks

Before jumping into making a plan for scaling your application, ask yourself what attracts your user now more than ever before?

No! Not the discounts or free offers.

It’s the flawless experience that draws more and more users’ attention that leads to conversion.

Rather than playing the “wait and watch” game, now is the right time to scale up your application. As the demand grows, it should be able to handle multiple requests and an increase in user traffic.

There has been a significant surge in the use of e-commerce apps, online learning software, video conferencing tools, virtual tutoring, or language apps since the outbreak of COVID-19 around the world. Many of the web and mobile offerings were not prepared for this sudden increase in user traffic and faced performance and scalability issues.

In this blog, we will explore the various ways and means to scale applications effectively.

1. Distribute Traffic with Load Balancing

Say, your application runs on one server and that can no longer sustain the current load. We recommend adding an extra server or servers to handle the required amount of throughput for your application.

To evenly distribute traffic across the servers, we use load balancers.

There are various methods that a load balancer can route traffic between the servers. One of them is round robin, which sends requests to the servers on a cyclical basis.

For example, if we have 3 servers, then it would send the first request to server 1, the second request to server 2, the third request to server 3, and so on. However, the most efficient method is when the load balancer would send the request only if the server can handle it.

This is how we increase request processing capacity by deploying more server instances on load-balanced computing resources.

But what if this load balancer dies out? Then we would not have a backup!

To overcome this issue, we can set up two or three load balancers where one would be actively routing the traffic and the others would be backup.

The load balancers can be a tangible piece of hardware, or they can simply be software in one of the servers. The cloud services are rampantly available, making it a relatively cheap and easy way to establish a load balancer.

5 Top Web Design and Development Tips for an Awesome Web App

First impression is the last impression. This statement is absolutely correct when we talk about web design and development. In this blog, let us talk about the tips for a great web web app.

Web application development has come a long way since the beginning of the World Wide Web. The web environment today uses HTML and CSS to view data and content to users while JavaScript is used to interact with the client.

Did you know that when a visitor arrives on your website, you have about five seconds (or less) to capture their attention and keep them where they are? That’s not a whole lot of time to impress someone, so if your load time is not perfect or your site’s navigation is all over the place, you can say goodbye to your visitors.

Believe it or not, the rapidly changing world of technology is not helping with this, either. New trends can easily make your website outdated and render it all but useless, leaving you with fewer visitors than you started with.

So, now the below questions arise:

How are you supposed to fix this issue and keep your visitors?

How do you create a website that looks good, functions perfectly, and communicates your message clearly?

Developers and designers have various approaches to improve web design. Regardless of whether you have a perfect, smooth, and proficient site, that doesn’t mean it will suitable always.

You ought to consistently consider site improvement thoughts as time passes by.

How to Install, Run and Delete Applications Inside Docker Containers - Part 2

Following the previous Docker article, this tutorial will discuss how to save a Docker container into a new image, remove a container, and run an Nginx web server inside a container.

How To Run and Save a Docker Container

1. In this example, we will run and save an Ubuntu-based Docker container where the Nginx server will be installed. But before committing any changes to a container, first start the container with the below commands which updates and installs Nginx daemon into Ubuntu image:

# docker run ubuntu bash -c "apt-get -y update" 
# docker run ubuntu bash -c "apt-get -y install nginx"

Install Nginx on Ubuntu Docker Container
Install Nginx on Ubuntu Docker Container

If you get error ‘E: Unable to locate package nginx‘, then you need to connect to a container with interactive CLI and install nginx as shown.

# docker run -it ubuntu bash
# apt install nginx
# exit

2. Next, after Nginx package is installed, issue the command docker ps -l to get the ID or name of the running container.

# docker ps -l

Find Docker Container ID Name
Find Docker Container ID Name

And apply changes by running the below command:

# docker commit 5976e4ae287c ubuntu-nginx

Here, 5976e4ae287c represents the container ID and ubuntu-nginx represents the name of the new image that has been saved with committed changes.

In order to view if the new image has been successfully created just run docker images command and a listing of all saved images will be shown.

# docker images

Chances are that the installation process inside the container finishes fast which leads to a non-running container (container is stopped). In this case the docker ps command won’t show any output because no container is running.

In order to be able to still get the container’s id run docker ps -a | head -3 to output the most recent containers and identify the container based on the command issued to create the container and the exited status.
