What are containers in software development?

Containerisation is a technology for isolating applications and their dependencies in standardised units called containers. This method enables consistent deployment and scaling of software regardless of the underlying infrastructure. Containers are lightweight, portable and autonomous units that ensure fast and consistent deployment of applications in different environments. The benefits of containerisation include: 1. consistent execution environment: applications run in a standardised environment, independent of the host infrastructure. 2. [...]

Reinforcement learning: the future of machine learning

Reinforcement learning is a method of machine learning in which an agent learns to fulfil a specific task by interacting with its environment. The agent receives rewards or punishments for its actions, enabling it to optimise its actions and achieve goals. This method is based on the principle of trial and error, in which the agent learns to make optimal decisions through experience. Reinforcement learning has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its wide range of possible applications and

The future with cloud-native applications

Cloud-native applications are software solutions specially designed for the cloud that optimally utilise the possibilities of the cloud infrastructure. They are designed for operation in a dynamic and scalable environment and are characterised by high flexibility and agility. In contrast to traditional applications developed for on-premise data centres, cloud-native applications are designed to fully exploit the advantages of cloud services such as automatic scaling, high availability and elastic use of resources. The development of cloud-native applications is often based on
