Inversion of control (IoC) techniques give developers a way to break out of traditional programming flow, and it offers them more flexibility and greater control over their code. Dependency injection, one form of IoC, is a pattern that aims to separate the concerns of constructing objects and using them. In this article, you’ll learn what dependency injection is, when you should use it, and what popular JavaScript frameworks it’s implemented in.

Today, web and mobile applications and API-based microservice endpoints are becoming the default. These applications are reachable through the HTTP web protocol. The encryption provided by a Secured Socket Layer or Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) is a must to secure the communication between client and server and across API back-ends. SSL/TLS are certificate-based encryption mechanisms. SSL has been the standard for over 20 years.

Remote work has significantly changed how employers hire and manage employees. Research shows the remote trend is only rising. 58% of US workers have the option to work remotely. More companies are leveraging talent across the U.S. and the world, making their companies stronger and more diverse.

As the new year draws closer, we’ve asked our experts here at Netskope to see what they have on their radar for 2023. Similar to years past, we’ve broken these predictions out into “Long Shots,” more out-there predictions we think could potentially happen in the next year, and “Trending Topics,” predictions around topics you may have seen discussed a bit this year but digging into how we expect them to evolve. Here’s what our experts see for 2023.

The many benefits of microservices architecture, such as improved scalability and agility, explain why organizations are migrating from the traditional monolithic architecture.
