You know them, you love them, but when you have 3,524 packages with the tag ORM available at NPM, deciding on one ORM may be a little bit overwhelming. Comparing three of the most-used ORMs will help you decide which is tool is best for your project. Whether it's Objection, Prisma, or Sequelize, read this post to determine your champion ORM!

When should you start thinking about building a design system?

Even though React's useReducer has gained a lot of popularity during the last couple of years, it can be difficult to use for some common cases. Specifically, it requires a lot of boilerplate to support async actions.

Declarative code: it’s a hot term in all types of programming. But what does it really mean? More importantly, how do you make the jump from understanding the concept to actually writing declarative code in your projects? 

Linting: the spell check of code. Once you have it, you can’t imagine how you ever lived without it. Useful for solo developers and large teams, linting keeps your code consistent and prevents bugs from getting anywhere near your production build. 

We're going to create an operations repo that creates and manages an AWS EKS cluster using Terraform and deploys a Helm chart to the cluster. We'll use BitOps to orchestrate this whole process.

Building complex web applications is hard. Building complex web applications that you can still understand once you’ve built them is even harder.

Terraform is one of the best tools for provisioning cloud infrastructure, but when working with virtual machines lacks good support for SSH'ing on to the server to configure it. This is where Ansible shines.

Passing the output of Terraform in to Ansible is not a documented process, so we'll be looking at a practical example using Terraform to create an AWS EC2 instance and configure NGINX on it with Ansible. The whole process will be orchestrated using BitOps - an open source deployment tool that bundles and runs terraform and ansible executables.
