Introduction Deploying web applications manually can be time-consuming and error-prone. Automating the deployment process ensures consistency, reduces downtime, and improves efficiency. In this blog, we will explore how to automate web application deployment on AWS EC2 using GitHub Actions. By the end of this guide, you will have a fully automated CI/CD pipeline that pushes code from a GitHub repository to an AWS EC2 instance, ensuring smooth and reliable deployments. Prerequ

JetStream is a JavaScript benchmark suite that evaluates web application performance by measuring the execution latency and throughput of complex workloads. With the release of JetStream 2.2, we at WhileOne Techsoft undertook the task of migrating its harness to a modern Node.js-based setup. Recently while working with a customer who was looking to benchmark their CPU using some js workloads. This post dives into why we did it, how we did it, and what you can expect from the.

SPEC CPU2017 is a well-known benchmark suite for evaluating CPU-intensive performance. Although it assumes native compilation and execution, there are cases—especially with RISC-V (RV64) platforms—where cross-compilation is the only feasible route. This guide walks through the steps to cross-compile SPEC CPU2017 for RISC-V, transfer the binaries to a target system, and optionally use the --fake option to simulate runs where execution isn't possible or needed during developmen

Regression testing in CI/CD plays a crucial role in maintaining software quality and reliability. Re-running previously executed tests ensures that new code changes do not break existing functionality. Implementing CI/CD in GitLab Since our repository is used by multiple teams, we have implemented CI/CD at the Git level using GitLab. Our pipeline follows a structured approach, defined in a .yml file. 1. Test Stage When a merge request is created, the following steps are execu

Developer experience The Full Stack Development team spends a significant time writing code. A good developer experience implies a grossly improved developer productivity. Some ways to improve the DX, thereby improving the quality of life and hence the productivity include: Setting up eslint/tslint/prettier so that the IDE can take care of the mundane tasks like enforcing code formatting, highlighting possible code quality issues, enabling early bug detection.
