Thanks to the microservices architecture, it is easier to set up a quality web application than ever before. Just write the core engine and connect it with the best services that provide the application repository, database, communication, payments, login, and authentication. Doing all this is much easier if your app runs on Node.js than on any other backend environment.

You hear a lot about scrum rituals and artifacts. People write books on how to transfer their theoretical frames into reality. Yet sometimes striving for excellence in inspecting and adapting might lead us to losing sight of the very essence of agile software delivery, which is the self-organising team.

Currently, security is one of the hottest topics in IT. Users, companies, and legislators are taking the subject of data security and privacy more and more seriously. This trend also applies to mobile applications due to their proximity to the user.

Over five hundred images, three days, and one team to release the first version of the application that will make our cities look prettier on photographs. Netguru and MicroscopeIT joined forces to run in an AI/ML-focused hackfest. The result? An app that can automatically remove all those pesky cranes from your cityscape pictures with a single click of a button, all thanks to Deep Learning algorithms. If you've ever been to London or Warsaw, you'll know that cranes are everywhere! Even though the app has very limited use (let's be honest, you don't actually get so many cranes in pictures, do you?), it lays a solid base for co-operation on future Machine Learning projects between the two companies.
