Newman VS Jenkins

I also put the cold starts measured in the part 19 into the tables to see both cold and warm starts in one place. The results of the experiment below were based on reproducing more than 100 cold and approximately 100.000 warm starts for the duration of our experiment which ran for approximately 1 hour. Here is the code for the sample application. For it (and experiments from my previous article) I used the load test tool hey, but you can use whatever tool you want, like Serverless-artillery or Postman. Abbreviation c is for the cold start and w is for the warm start.

The results of the experiments to retrieve the existing product from the database with all approaches by its id with Lambda functions with 1024 MB memory setting were based on reproducing more than 100 cold and approximately 10.000 warm starts with experiment which ran for approximately 1 hour. For it (and experiments from my previous article) I used the load test tool hey, but you can use whatever tool you want, like Serverless-artillery or Postman. We won't enable SnapStart on the Lambda functions first.

There are several testing approaches you can take to ascertain the functionality of the auth API. One way would be to automate the testing using unit tests with tools like Jest and Supertest. Alternatively, you can make use of API clients like Postman or the Thunder Client VS Code extension to test the API.

I'm excited to be speaking at POSTCON, where I will dive into the world of real-time data using Zoom's innovative WebSockets. We'll seamlessly test these functionalities with the help of POSTMAN. This session is designed to give you a glimpse into how we at Zoom are enhancing the real-time capabilities of our platform to ensure faster, more reliable communication. During this session, we'll explore the limitations with Webhooks and why WebSockets are becoming a preferable alternative for real-time, bi-directional communication.

The results of the experiment below were based on reproducing more than 100 cold and approximately 100.000 warm starts with Lambda function with 1024 MB memory setting for the duration of 1 hour. For it I used the load test tool hey, but you can use whatever tool you want, like Serverless-artillery or Postman.

Testing Tools: Select suitable automated testing tools, such as OWASP Zap and Postman, for security and functionality testing.

Postman - API platform for easy endpoint testing

The results of the experiment to retrieve the existing product from the database by its id see GetProductByIdViaAuroraServerlessV2DataApiHandler with Lambda function with 1024 MB memory setting were based on reproducing more than 100 cold and approximately 10.000 warm starts with experiment which ran for approximately 1 hour. For it (and experiments from my previous article) I used the load test tool hey, but you can use whatever tool you want, like Serverless-artillery or Postman. We won't enable SnapStart on the Lambda function first.

Use tools like Postman or Insomnia to test the API endpoints and ensure they behave as expected.

Products are available on our Strapi server. We need to be able to send HTTP requests that will allow clients or users to perform CRUD operations on these product resources. Postman will be our tool for making requests to the Strapi REST API.

Jenkins is a highly extensible Java-based CI/CD automation server. It is open-source and self-hosted and enables you to automate, build, and deploy your software. The tool seamlessly integrates with various version control systems, cloud providers, and third-party applications, making it a versatile choice for modern development environments.

For instance, IDPs can automatically trigger a deployment process in Jenkins or CircleCI when a developer pushes code to a Git repository.

Familiarize yourself with tools like Jenkins, Travis CI, GitLab CI, and others that facilitate these practices.

Jenkins: An open-source automation server that can be used to set up CI/CD pipelines.

Jenkins is an open-source automation tool that allows developers to build, test and deploy software.

Choosing the right CI/CD platform and mastering YAML configuration are critical steps in optimizing your software development process. First, choose a CI/CD platform from popular options such as Jenkins, Travis CI, CircleCI, GitLab CI/CD, or GitHub Actions that meets the needs of your project and integrates seamlessly with your development stack.

Jenkins is a Java based CI/CD system that can be self hosted. In order to initiate builds, Jenkins utilizes a component called an agent to execute build commands. These agents can be a constantly running service or part of an on demand service such as a cloud provider or Docker containers. Kubernetes is one such solution to deploying build agents on demand. This article will look at how to setup Kubernetes as a provider for Jenkins build agents.

In this article, we briefly discussed some popular CI/CD platforms for React Native and why they are crucial in the programming world. We also included some honorable mentions, Jenkins CI and Bitrise, in our comparison table. It is important to remember that every project is different, and therefore it is important to evaluate each tool’s advantages and disadvantages.

Originally, I was using Jenkins (Yes, the CI pipeline java app) for this, but it was clear that is not its purpose, and it was fairly clunky. The only real upside was direct git support, but I don't mind incorporating git pulls into my jobs themselves.
