We are living in an era of interconnected systems, and there are better ways to provide a complete solution to a technical challenge than inventing everything from scratch or coming up with a mega app to control all the things. Instead, the key is to connect with other products that are really good at solving a specific problem. Today I would like to discuss a way to improve customer/user engagement
Last few months I have been delving into Data Science and Machine Learning. Both fields are related. In fact, in my opinion Data Science could be considered almost a prerequisite for Machine Learning. These are not only related to data manipulation and statistic concepts, but they are also connected in terms of what program language is commonly used, which is Python. One of the blockers I quickly faced related to
If you ever find yourself in a position where you need to remove duplicate entries on a MongoDB collection, as per version 3.0 you will need to use Aggregation .

The popular misconception is that MongoDB is only suitable for hip startups and former startups that are still considered ‘hip’ and out of the box, such as AirBnB. Even with all the buzz and talk around MongoDB, the adoption rate remains relatively low in comparison with other ‘standard’
Setting up a new local environment can be challenging and really time-consuming if you’re doing it from scratch. While this might not be a big deal when working as a single developer on a project, in a team-based scenario it’s important to share the same infrastructure configuration. That’s why we highly recommended using a tool like Docker to simplify the process. Last summer, Jesus Manuel Olivas (Project lead) and I
