Remember the game that was created with the Elm language during Zalando’s Hack Week #4? We’ve been working on it via open source and it’s had a lot of improvements since then. Our goal remains the same — to put the game on the 404 page of the Zalando website, and at its current state, we’re as close as ever to reaching it. In this post we will go through the game’s progress in detail.

Before I became a developer, I graduated college as a math and science teacher. Teaching is something I fundamentally believe in and think anyone can do, no matter their skill level. When I first arrived at Zalando, I joined a team that had recently decided to use React. However, few had concrete knowledge about the framework. My team decided to join three other interested teams and attend a React workshop every two weeks.

For a couple of weeks now, our team at Zalando has been implementing Microservices for a new feature, which we’re looking forward to sharing with you. Our team is relatively young and has been working together for roughly six months. This is our first big project as a team and there are a lot of learnings to share. On top of successes, we’ve also encountered failures.

If you’re in Dublin this week, then you’re in for a treat when it comes to Zalando events. Tomorrow, we’re hosting an evening of interesting discussion, with the chance to catch up and share ideas with some of the companies innovating in this space. We'll be posing the question: “What is Tech Culture?”. We want to know how tech organisations foster a 'culture' to support technical innovation and team engagement.

The Zalando Testing Team creates tools that improve code quality for development teams. One way to improve code quality is to write tests – and we do write a lot of tests! But are these tests good at catching bugs? If code is refactored and the test suite is still green, can we be confident that we didn’t break anything? This post introduces a new tool that verifies whether or not tests are actually able to find errors in the code.

There are common questions which come up repeatedly in Java. Even if you know the answer, it's worth getting a more thorough understanding of what is happening in these cases. How do I compare Strings? The more general question is, how do I compare the contents of an Object? What is surprising when you use Java for the first time is that if you have a variable like String which is a reference to an Object, not the Object itself.

Last month I had the opportunity to present an introduction to data science at the Women Who Code meetup in Dublin and the R/Data mini-conference, as well as an introduction to Machine Learning at the Women TechMakers event. It was great fun and such a good opportunity that I wanted to share my learnings with you. The first stop of the month was at the Women Who Code Dublin meetup, which is a branch of Women Who Code.

As a concept, Developer Experience (DX) has gained significant attention in the tech industry. It emphasizes engineers’ efficiency and satisfaction during the product development process. As product managers, we need to understand how a good DX can contribute not only to the well-being of our development teams but also to the broader objectives of product success and customer satisfaction.

In my first post about GitHub Enterprise backup , I outlined why the open source ghe-backup project was started: To provide GitHub Enterprise Backups based on AWS with the STUPS platform. The following post will focus on the Continuous Delivery of ghe-backup instances on AWS. Why do we care about Continuous Delivery of ghe-backups? Well, there are regular changes in Taupage and ghe-backups have to run an up-to-date version of Taupage.

Scala developers have lots of options when it comes to doing Dependency Injection (or DI). The usual Java libraries can be used, like Spring , or Guice for Play developers. But Scala being Scala, there are other options. You can use libraries leveraging macros, like MacWire , or use the Scala type system and the infamous “Cake pattern” and its many variations using traits, with or without self-types.

Last year Zalando Tech offered its engineers to host their company source code on GitHub Enterprise. This was based on the feedback we received from Zalando Tech’s GitHub Enterprise and Stash Workshop. At Zalando Tech, we’ve setup GitHub Enterprise with a High Availability configuration based on AWS , including backup. Whenever the main GitHub enterprise instance is down, you have two options with which to proceed: Promote the replication instance to a new main instance.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

Scott Gnau, CTO of Hadoop distribution vendor Hortonworks said - "It doesn't matter who you are — cluster operator, security administrator, data analyst — everyone wants Hadoop and related big data technologies to be straightforward. Things like a single integrated developer experience or a reduced number of settings or profiles will start to appear across the board in 2016.
