Dive into this week's newsletter for captivating insights into the ever-evolving world of technology. Discover how MongoDB is capitalizing on the rise of big data and cloud computing with Atlas platform upgrades, learn about Amazon Web Services' scalable and adaptable database solutions, and explore the benefits of Java Records in enhancing application quality. But be vigilant, as unpatched MOVEit Transfer applications face critical vulnerabilities that have already led to data breaches. Lastly, take a glimpse into the world of health tech with a spotlight on a mobile developer role in a groundbreaking organization.
Java Records are transparent carriers for immutable data that assist in improving the overall quality of Java applications by making code more predictable and reducing complexity. The tutorial provides several examples beyond data transfer objects including value objects, immutable entities, and state implementation. Immutable classes are advantageous in concurrency cases, CQRS, event-driven architecture, among others.
In order for data-intensive applications to work efficiently, businesses need robust and scalable databases that can handle large quantities of data. AWS provides fully-managed flexible and reliable database solutions, including Relational Database Services (RDS) and NoSQL Databases that support a variety of databases engines such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, Amazon DynamoDB, and Amazon DocumentDB. Organizations can choose a database solution that best meets their needs and requirements.
A health tech organisation that consolidates all person-level health data in the province is seeking a mobile developer for its engineering team. Applicants must have a strong background in mobile app and front-end development, and experience in .Net development and database design, among other requirements. They will be mainly responsible for mobile development on Catch and Match, a native Android mobile application used by hundreds of Community Health Workers (CHWs) to collect clinical information.
Unpatched versions of the MOVEit Transfer file management web application are critically vulnerable to SQL injection, affecting all versions earlier than 2021.0.6 (13.0.6), with a known cybercrime group exploiting the application in large scale on or before May 27th. As of this writing, an estimated 100,000 individuals' personal information has been stolen and at least one organization has confirmed a data breach.
Andrew Davidson, Senior Vice President of Products at MongoDB, believes that the database market is not similar to the traditional software market. MongoDB is a pillar in the NoSQL database space, which relies on the growth of enterprise workloads to expand, as the number of workloads skyrockets with the rise of big data, cloud computing, and generative AI. MongoDB aims to capture its portion of this market with featured upgrades in Atlas in the hopes of attracting new customers and retaining customers in the Atlas cloud platform, which will be important to reach profitability.
