Apache AGE - Real World Applications
Tags: apacheage, postgres, opensource
Published: 2023-05-11 19:30:15

In my previous [post](https://dev.to/abdullahzia6464/why-apache-age-an-intro-to-the-graph-extension-for-postgresql-lhe), I discussed the advantages of graph-based database, and why a graph extension for an existing DBMS like PostgreSQL might be preferred.

In this post, I'll be discussing the real-world applications of AGE and how it can be used to solve real life problems. 

**1. Supply Chain Management**
Apache AGE can be used to model the complex relationships between entities in the supply chain management process, such as suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and customers. By creating a graph format with nodes representing these entities and edges representing their relationships, it becomes possible to identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies in the network. For example, if a single supplier provides a critical component to multiple manufacturers, causing delays, using Apache AGE can help supply chain managers mitigate the problem by identifying alternative suppliers or adjusting production schedules.

**2. Social Network Analysis**
By modeling relationships between entities in a social network using nodes and edges and analyzing the resulting graph, it is possible to identify key influencers, detect communities, and analyze the spread of information or behaviors within a network. This information can be used for decision-making in fields such as marketing, public health, and social sciences.

**3. Recommendation Systems**
AGE can create a graph of user-item interactions to make personalized recommendations for users. The nodes in the graph represent users and items, while the edges represent the interactions between them. Graph-based algorithms such as personalized PageRank and community detection can be used to identify similar items or users, while additional information such as item attributes or user profiles can be incorporated to improve the quality and diversity of recommendations. This approach can be used in various domains such as e-commerce, media, or social networks.

**4. Genome Analysis**
By creating a graph of genes, proteins, and other molecular entities, where nodes represent biological entities and edges represent functional relationships between them and using graph-based algorithms, AGE can identify gene interactions, detect functional modules or pathways, and predict the effects of genetic variations. Additionally, it can model the effects of genetic variations on the network and help understand the underlying mechanisms of genetic diseases.

**5. Knowledge Graphs**
Apache AGE can be used to represent knowledge in a graph-based format, where entities or concepts are nodes and relationships or associations are edges. It can perform analyses such as entity linking, relationship extraction, knowledge discovery, and reasoning. It can also help identify missing or inconsistent knowledge, make predictions or recommendations, and infer new knowledge. This can be applied to various applications such as  question answering systems, and decision support systems.

What are IPv4 & IPv6?
Tags: webdev, programming, sre, networking
Published: 2023-05-11 19:12:19

**IP, or Internet Protocol**, is a set of rules that enables devices to communicate with each other over the internet. _An IP address is a unique identifier assigned to each device connected to the internet_, similar to a phone number or a street address.

IP addresses are essential components in computer networking that enable devices to communicate over the internet. There are two types of IP addresses: IPv4 and IPv6. 

**IPv4** is the older of the two and  consists of **32 bits** represented by four numbers separated by dots (e.g., 192.168.0.1). 

This allows for a total of around _4.3 billion unique IP addresses_. As the number of internet-connected devices continues to grow, IPv4 addresses are becoming insufficient.

**IPv6** was introduced in response to this. IPv6 addresses use **128 bits** represented by _eight groups of four hexadecimal digits_ separated by colons (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334). 

This offers a staggering _340 undecillion unique IP addresses_, ensuring that every device on earth can have trillions of unique IP addresses. Although the adoption of IPv6 has been slow, its importance in providing sufficient IP addresses to accommodate the increasing number of internet-connected devices cannot be overstated.

[CIDR, or Classless Inter-Domain Routing](https://dev.to/sparkycode/what-is-cidr-139f), is a complimentary mechanism that allows network administrators to allocate IP addresses more efficiently. It enables the creation of smaller subnetworks, reducing the number of unique IP addresses required to connect devices to the internet. By using CIDR, network administrators can effectively manage IP address allocation, reducing the number of unused or wasted IP addresses.

IPv6 is becoming increasingly necessary due to the limitation of IPv4 in providing enough unique IP addresses for the growing number of internet-connected devices. CIDR is a valuable mechanism that can be used in managing IP address allocation, ensuring efficient use of IP addresses.

Mashin: Leveraging Rust, TypeScript, and Deno in Infrastructure as Code
Tags: devops, rust, typescript, ops
Published: 2023-05-11 19:07:33

Hello Dev.to Community!

I'm David Lemarier, a seasoned software developer and an active board member of [Tauri](https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri), a Rust project. I've led multiple projects in the past and recently embarked on a new journey with my startup, Nutshimit.

Today, I'm thrilled to share a sneak peek of a project I've been working on for the past few months - **[Mashin](https://github.com/nutshimit/mashin)**.

Mashin is an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) platform, but with a twist. Instead of reinventing the wheel and creating a new language for infrastructure definitions, we've chosen to leverage TypeScript. It not only simplifies the development process with auto-completion and in-code documentation (JSDoc), but it also makes our platform more intuitive and accessible to developers.

Our tool doesn't depend on other runtimes like Node.js; instead, everything is shipped within a single binary that includes the V8 runtime. With this approach, we've brought the convenience of JavaScript to infrastructure management. You can perform tasks like reading external JSON or creating your own config system, all while benefiting from a powerful, isolated V8 runtime environment.

The unique part is that our providers, the plugins that manage the lifecycle of resources, are built in Rust and interact with the runtime via FFI. This high-performance Rust-based engine ensures efficiency and speed.

We're still in the pre-alpha stage, but we're excited about the possibilities this project holds. 

I've written a detailed blog post about Mashin and would love to hear your thoughts and feedback:

[https://blog.mashin.land/introducing-mashin-c8ee59fa8886](https://blog.mashin.land/introducing-mashin-c8ee59fa8886
)

This project is open-source and we're eager to collaborate with the community. If you're interested, you can get involved in different ways outlined in our documentation: [https://docs.mashin.land/docs/engage](https://docs.mashin.land/docs/engage)

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and suggestions!
Home Steps Following The Cursor (GSAP)
Tags: html, gsap, animation, javascript
Published: 2023-05-11 19:06:59

Title: Home Steps Following The Cursor (GSAP)
Have you ever visited a website where the homepage follows your cursor? It’s a simple yet engaging effect that can elevate the user experience. In this blog post, we’ll be exploring how to create this effect using the GSAP animation library.

![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/jr130itrsflea0dlzze2.png)
Step 1: Set up your HTML and CSS
First, let’s create a simple HTML structure for our homepage. We’ll have a container div that will hold our content, and an inner div that will move with the cursor. In our CSS, we’ll position the container and inner divs, and set their dimensions.

Step 2: Install GSAP
Before we can use GSAP, we need to install it. You can do this by downloading the library from the GSAP website or by installing it using a package manager like NPM.

Step 3: Initialize GSAP
Once you’ve installed GSAP, you need to initialize it in your JavaScript file. This is done by simply calling the `gsap` function.

Step 4: Create your animation
Now we can create our animation using GSAP. We’ll be using the `to` method, which animates an element to a new set of properties. We want our inner div to move with the cursor, so we’ll set the new position of the div to the position of the cursor. We can get the position of the cursor using the `clientX` and `clientY` properties of the `mousemove` event.

Step 5: Add event listeners
Finally, we need to add event listeners to our container div. We’ll listen for the `mousemove` event, and call our animation function inside the event listener.

And that’s it! With just a few lines of code, we’ve created a simple yet engaging effect that follows the user’s cursor. With GSAP’s powerful animation capabilities, the possibilities are endless. Give it a try and see what creative animations you can come up with!

How many <div> elements are needed to create the Chart component?
Tags: javascript, opensource, css, frontend
Published: 2023-05-11 18:50:53

Hello Frontend folks! This question might be a little weird to you because you might have seen many Chart components that may be built with SVG or Canvas rendering.

So here is the question: First, is it possible to create a Chart component using a div element with CSS rendering? If so, then how many div elements are needed?

Okay, if you said more than 1, then this post might be curious to you. Yes, because I have created a set of Chart components including Line, Bar and Area chart with a single `<div>` element alone.

Please have a look at the **SingleDivUI** library:
https://singledivui.com/

## Why?

While I try to explore the possibilities of CSS, I just end up with this. Not only a simple Chart, it also has a lot of options with more customization, again all done inside a single div. If you are more interested in this, then please check out the demos section:

https://singledivui.com/demos/line-chart/basic

## GitHub

I wish you to please look into this and give your thoughts and suggestions. If you like this, then **give a Star on GitHub**:

Job Search: Month 5... Finally got a job! ...Just not in tech 🤷🏾‍♀️
Tags: webdev, beginners, devjournal, career
Published: 2023-05-11 17:43:13

Hello Dev community👋🏾! I am back with awesome news...

## I FINALLY HAVE A JOB!

I finally have a job offer that I have accepted and I will begin working end of the month!!! Wooohooooo!!!!!

The job I have now, is a Nevada State Auditor job. Although it's not a tech job, it's still something I am proud of. Job searching has officially come to a screeching halt. At least for now. This is actually my first _ever_ professional job. Who knows, maybe I'll like it and forget about tech altogether. _Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit because I don't want to just forget what I've learned and I have came long way in my journey._

But at least for now, I have a job that will pay the bills and keep me grounded until I am able to get my dream job. Until then, I will definitely keep learning about technology. It's just that right now, that will be put on hold for a while since I am in the process of moving and preparing for my new job 😁. 

I am super duper excited and can't wait to see what my future holds. Like a user once said, "One of the best ways to get a tech job _now_ is to get hired internally". So who knows, maybe this road can lead to IT Auditing or Data Analyst. Either way, I have quite a journey ahead of me. But as of now, I'll just prepare myself so that way, after a year or two, I'll have enough experience to transfer my skills to something tech related.

60 job applications later, 31 rejections later, 26 ghosted applications later, waitlisted for 2 jobs, 3 interviews and one person finally said **YES!** I am forever thankful for this opportunity and hope that this job will lead to even more opportunities as well!🙌🏾
How to create API in django
Published: 2023-05-10 12:34:50

To create an API in Django, you can follow these steps:

1. Define your API endpoints: Decide what functionality your API will provide and define the endpoints accordingly. For example, you might have endpoints for retrieving data, creating new records, updating existing records, and deleting records.

2. Install Django Rest Framework: Django Rest Framework is a powerful toolkit for building APIs in Django. You can install it using pip by running the command "pip install djangorestframework".

3. Create serializers: Serializers are used to convert complex data types, such as models, into JSON or XML format that can be easily transmitted over the web. Create a serializer for each model that you want to expose via your API.

4. Define views: Views are the functions that handle incoming requests and return responses. Define a view for each endpoint in your API. Use the serializers to convert model instances into JSON or XML format.

5. Define URLs: URLs map incoming requests to specific views. Define a URL for each endpoint in your API. Use the Django Rest Framework's router to automatically generate URLs for your views.

6. Test your API: Use a tool such as Postman or curl to test your API endpoints. Make sure that they are returning the expected data and that error handling is working correctly.

7. Secure your API: Depending on the sensitivity of your data, you may need to secure your API using authentication and/or authorization. Django Rest Framework provides built-in support for various authentication methods, such as token-based authentication and OAuth2.

8. Document your API: Documenting your API is important for making it easy for other developers to use. Use tools such as Swagger or Django Rest Swagger to automatically generate API documentation from your code.

By following these steps, you can create a powerful and flexible API in Django that can be easily consumed by other applications.
