Creating your first Node.js application with Node-Data

In this blog, we will learn how to create a Node.js application with Node-Data. Let’s assume that you are building an application for blogs and you want to create REST APIs which can be used by a front-end/mobile application.

• • Create blogs into database

OpenCV with extra modules

This blog details building an openCV using extra modules, mainly the opencv_contirb, in Windows.

Prerequisites:

1. Download and install Visual Studio 2015 and CMake.
   NOTE: By default, C++ is not installed in Visual Studio 2015. After basic installation, modify the installation by following the path : Programming Language -> C++)
2. Download and install the following Python packages to their default locations:

• 1. Python 2.7.x
• 2. Numpy
• 3. Matplotlib(required since we use it for visualizations in our project)

Nuances of Riemann

Introduction

Riemann is a next generation Open-Source Push-Based monitoring system, which is designed to scale vertically and horizontally with the infrastructure, making it a good choice for monitoring elastic infrastructure. Riemann provides transient shared state for system with many moving parts. Riemann aggregates events from the servers and applications with a powerful stream processing language.
