The Problem Nobody Talks About

You open Y Combinator Startup School. You find a founder. You copy their name, bio, location. Then you open LinkedIn separately, search for the same person, scroll through five profiles with similar names, pick the one that looks right and paste the URL into your spreadsheet.

Then you do it again. For the next founder. And the next.

At 10 profiles, that’s a couple of hours. At 100, it’s a week you don’t have. At 500, it simply doesn’t happen — and your team works from incomplete data or skips the research entirely.

That’s the problem the Y Combinator Founder Scraper by Techforce Global solves. It extracts founder profiles from YC Startup School and automatically matches each one to their LinkedIn URL using intelligent matching algorithms, not guesswork. One run. Clean, structured, enriched data. Ready to use.

“A name alone is a phone book entry. A matched, enriched founder profile is a working lead.”

What Automated YC Founder Data Actually Gives Your Team

In plain terms, automation turns scattered founder information into a working dataset. Every record includes:

• Founder name and short bio
• Location (city and country)
• Education history university, degree, graduation year
• Employment history previous companies and roles
• YC Startup School profile URL
• Automatically matched LinkedIn profile URL
• What the founder is looking for in a co-founder

That last field what they’re looking for is unique to YC Startup School and often overlooked. It tells you a lot about where the founder is in their journey and what kind of conversation they’re open to. For sales, recruiting, and VC teams, that context changes the quality of the first outreach.

Raw List vs. Usable Founder Intelligence

The difference between a raw name list and an enriched founder dataset isn’t just volume it’s what you can actually do with the data.

That extra context changes the value of the data entirely. A name alone tells you someone exists. An enriched profile tells you who they are, where they’ve been, and how to reach them on the right platform

How Each Team Turns This Data Into an Advantage

The edge isn’t the data by itself. The edge comes from how quickly each team can act on it and how much manual work gets removed from the front end of that process

Sales Teams: Build Sharper Outbound Lists in Less Time

🎯 Best for: B2B Sales & Lead Generation Teams

Sales teams lose time before outreach even starts. One rep opens the YC page, another checks LinkedIn, someone else copies notes into a sheet. That handoff is slow, inconsistent, and breaks focus before a single message gets written.

With structured founder data already enriched with LinkedIn URLs, reps can move directly to filtering and personalization. A founder with a strong engineering background in fintech may need a completely different opening than a repeat operator in consumer SaaS. Knowing that before you write saves time and improves reply rates.

The scraper also supports API access so teams that want to skip the manual CSV download entirely can pipe results directly into HubSpot, Salesforce, or any CRM with a simple integration

💡  Practical use case

Filter exported founders by location and prior employment. 
Build a short list of YC founders who previously worked at enterprise 
software companies they're more likely to understand and respond to a 
B2B pitch. This kind of segmentation is impossible without structured 
employment data.

Recruiting Teams: Map Founder Networks and Find Talent Faster

🎯 Best for: Recruiters & Talent Acquisition Teams

Recruiters don’t only hire founders they follow founder networks, alumni circles, and early startup clusters. Founder education and employment history often point directly to where strong candidates are concentrated.

If several founders building in one space came from the same companies or universities, that pattern reveals a talent hub worth targeting. Instead of cold outreach across a wide field, a recruiter can focus on the specific clusters where relevant experience is most likely to be found.

Founder data also helps priorities which startups are worth watching for early hiring. A founding team with deep operating experience at strong companies tends to attract strong early hires. That signal is in the employment history and it’s now structured and searchable.

"Founder data gives recruiting teams a map, not just a list.
The difference between the two is where you spend your time next week."

VC Teams: Screen Markets and Founders With Better Context

🎯 Best for: Venture Capital & Investment Teams

VC firms care about speed, but not blind speed. Fast screening without context wastes partner time. Founder education, prior roles, location, and company theme together give analyst teams enough signal to prioritise before the first meeting note is written.

As a concrete example: an analyst team covering climate tech can pull all YC Startup School founders in that vertical, review their employment and education patterns, and identify the strongest signals in under an hour. Without structured data, building that same picture manually takes days.

The scraper also supports ongoing batch tracking. Run it regularly across a sector and you’ll start to see patterns founder backgrounds converging around certain schools or companies, geographic clusters emerging, repeat operators returning to a space. These signals are easier to spot when the data is consistent and structured across every run.

💡  Practical use case

Pull all YC Startup School founders in a specific vertical.
Cross-reference employment history with your existing portfolio
founder backgrounds. Founders who share career DNA with your best-performing
portfolio companies are a stronger starting point for first conversations
than a cold batch list.

What Automation Does Better Than Manual Research

Manual YC founder research still works at small scale. One analyst can spend an afternoon pulling profiles, matching LinkedIn, and cleaning a spreadsheet. The process is clear. The output is usable.

But it doesn’t hold up when volume increases or the research needs to repeat regularly. Here’s what breaks down first:

• Missed profiles manual processes have natural gaps. Attention fades, tabs get lost, rows get skipped.
• Stale data a spreadsheet built on Monday is already incomplete by Thursday. Founders update bios, change roles, add new co-founders.
• Inconsistent matching different team members find different LinkedIn profiles for the same person. The data is never quite the same source.
• Time cost the hours spent on collection aren’t spent on the decisions that actually matter.

Automation improves all four. The same process runs every time, on schedule, with the same matching logic applied to every founder. Output is clean, consistent, and ready to export in JSON, CSV, or Excel directly from Apify.

Where Automation Stops and Human Judgment Begins

Automation is best at collecting facts. People are still better at deciding what those facts mean.

That balance matters more here than in most data tools. The YC Founder Scraper collects and enriches. It can’t decide the best opening message for a given founder, make a final hiring call, or replace the investment conviction that comes from a real conversation.

The best setup is simple: let automation handle collection, matching, and export. Let people handle decisions. The data gets you to the starting line faster. What you do from there is still yours to own.

“The point isn’t to remove human judgment from founder research. It’s to make sure that judgment is applied to the right question — not spent on copy-pasting LinkedIn URLs.”

The Bottom Line

Automated YC founder data collection gives sales, recruiting, and VC teams the same core advantage: speed with structure. It shortens the research cycle, improves the quality of targeting, and gives teams time back to focus on the decisions that actually move things forward.

The Y Combinator Founder Scraper by Techforce Global handles the part of founder research that shouldn’t require human attention collection, matching, and export. The part that does require human attention strategy, outreach quality, judgment is exactly where your team’s time is better spent.

If your team does B2B outreach, partner scouting, or market research, you’ve probably spent hours manually hunting for trade shows and exhibitions on EventsEye.com filtering by industry, scrolling through regions, copying organizer details one by one into a spreadsheet.

We built the EventsEye Scraper to automate exactly that. This article walks through the problem it solves, how it works technically, what data it pulls, and how to plug it into your existing workflows.

Section 1: The Problem with Manual Trade Show Research

Why Real-Time Trade Show Data Matters for B2B Teams

Trade shows and exhibitions are where deals happen. Industry summits surface emerging vendors. Regional expos reveal market shifts before they hit the news. For B2B teams, being in the right room or knowing who was is a competitive advantage.

Real-time event data helps marketing teams build targeted outreach lists, sales teams connect with decision-makers right after a conference wraps, and strategy teams track where competitors are showing up. The challenge isn’t understanding the value of this data. It’s collecting it without burning hours doing it manually.

Common Hurdles in Event Monitoring

Manual trade show research is time-consuming in a way that’s easy to underestimate until volume picks up. Here’s what teams typically run into:

• Searching platform by platform EventsEye.com organizes data by industry, region, country, and city, but navigating that hierarchy manually for multiple verticals is slow.
• Inconsistent data formats dates, venue names, and organizer contacts look different on every page.
• Information that changes overnight a venue update or a rescheduled date can make yesterday’s spreadsheet unreliable.
• No structured export copying rows into Excel by hand doesn’t scale when you need data across 10 industries and 20 countries

Introducing the EventsEye Scraper by Techforce Global

The EventsEye Scraper is an Apify Actor built by Techforce Global that automates data extraction from EventsEye.com. It supports hierarchical filtering by Industry → Region → Country → City, and returns clean, structured data on exhibitions names, dates, venues, organizer contacts, event URLs, and more.

Unlike generic scrapers or custom scripts that break when a page layout changes, this Actor is maintained and runs reliably on Apify Cloud. You can export results as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or connect directly via API.

Try it here: https://apify.com/techforce.global/events-eye-scraper

Section 2: Technical Setup & Configuration

Setting Up Your Filters for Maximum Relevance

The scraper’s core strength is its hierarchical filtering system. Instead of pulling everything and cleaning up later, you define exactly what you need upfront:

• Industry — e.g., Automobile, Pharma, Technology, Food & Beverage
• Region — e.g., Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America
• Country — e.g., India, Germany, USA
• City — e.g., Ahmedabad, Munich, Chicago

You can also enable Direct City Mode to fetch all exhibitions in a city across all industries in one run useful for geographic prospecting or event-density analysis.

Detailed Scraping Mode

By default the scraper runs in standard mode pulling exhibition names, dates, locations, and URLs quickly. Enable detailed scraping to also capture:

• Organizer name, address, phone, and email
• Venue full address and contact details
• Event website and registration link

Detailed mode runs slightly slower but is worth enabling when you’re building outreach lists or feeding data into a CRM.

Reliability & Anti-Blocking

Apify handles proxy rotation and request scheduling automatically. This means the scraper avoids IP bans and rate limits without any configuration on your end. You can schedule runs on a daily or weekly cadence and trust the output to be consistent.

If a run fails, Apify’s dashboard surfaces the error with logs so you can diagnose and re-run without digging through code.

Section 3: What Data You Get

Core Output Fields

Every run returns a structured dataset with the following fields:

• Exhibition Name — the full official name of the trade show
• Description — brief overview of the event focus
• Start & End Dates — precise date range
• City, Country, Region — full geographic context
• Industry & Category — the vertical it belongs to
• Venue Name & Address — location details
• Organizer Name & Contact — who runs the show
• Event Website & Email — direct links for outreach
• Source URL — the EventsEye.com listing for verification

Export Formats

Results are available in JSON, CSV, and Excel directly downloadable from the Apify dataset view. You can also access data via the Apify API for programmatic integration into dashboards, CRMs, or internal tools.

Time zones are standardized in output. Addresses are cleaned for direct use in mapping tools or mail merge systems.

Section 4: Plugging Event Data into Your Workflow

Export Options: From Scraper to Your Stack

The simplest integration is a direct CSV export into Google Sheets shareable across teams in minutes. For ongoing workflows:

• Zapier — trigger actions in HubSpot, Notion, or Slack when new exhibitions are scraped
• API — pull data directly into a custom app or internal tool
• Salesforce — map fields from the CSV export to account or lead records

Event-Driven Marketing Campaigns

Once you have a feed of upcoming exhibitions in your target industries, you can build proactive campaign sequences around them:

• Pre-event: Identify organizers and exhibitors 4–6 weeks out. Start outreach referencing the specific show.
• During the event: Trigger LinkedIn connection requests or emails to attendees.
• Post-event: Follow up with leads who attended with context from the event topic.

Geo-filters make this especially effective for regional teams. Filter exhibitions within your target city or country and send hyper-localized invites or partnership proposals.

Competitive Intelligence Through Event Tracking

Run the scraper monthly across your key industries. Track which exhibitions your competitors are likely to attend or sponsor. Identify gaps events they’re missing that represent untapped exposure to your brand.

Cross-reference exhibition organizer contacts your CRM to find warm introductions. A shared industry event is a natural conversation starter.

Conclusion: From Manual Searching to Structured Intelligence

The EventsEye Scraper doesn’t just save time it gives your team a repeatable, scalable system for trade show intelligence. The data that used to take hours to compile now takes minutes to generate, and it arrives clean and ready to use.

Key takeaways:

• Boost lead quality by targeting decision-makers at relevant exhibitions
• Cut hours of manual searching with scheduled automated runs
• Filter precisely by industry, region, country, and city no noise
• Feed structured data directly into your CRM, dashboard, or outreach tool
• Gain competitive intelligence by tracking exhibition patterns over time

As a developer at Techforce Global, I’ve spent countless hours helping recruitment teams overcome one of their biggest challenges: finding qualified candidates quickly and efficiently. Today, I’m excited to share how we built the LinkedIn Candidate Search (No Cookies) actor on Apify a tool that’s transforming how recruiters source talent.

The Problem: Manual LinkedIn Searches Are Killing Productivity

If you’re in recruitment or talent acquisition, you know the drill. You need to find 20 Python developers in Ahmedabad, or senior DevOps engineers in London. So you head to LinkedIn, type in your search terms, scroll through pages of results, manually copy names, job titles, and profile URLs into a spreadsheet, and hope you haven’t missed anyone.

This manual process isn’t just tedious, it’s incredibly time-consuming. What should take minutes ends up taking hours, and by the time you’re done, you’ve lost precious time you could have spent engaging with candidates.

The Solution: Automated LinkedIn Candidate Search Without the Cookie Headache

We built our LinkedIn Candidate Search actor to solve this exact problem. Here’s what makes it different:

No LinkedIn Login Required

Unlike traditional LinkedIn scrapers that require you to provide cookies or log in with your account (and risk getting flagged), our actor operates through external search simulation. This means:

• Zero risk to your LinkedIn account
• No cookie management hassle
• No authentication headaches
• Completely ethical and compliant

Lightning-Fast Results

Input your parameters, hit run, and within minutes you’ll have a clean, structured dataset of candidates. For example:

Input:

{

“job_role”: “Python Developer”,

“location”: “Ahmedabad”,

“max_profiles”: 20

}

Output: You get a beautifully formatted dataset with

• Full candidate names
• Current job titles
• LinkedIn profile URLs
• Profile snippets/bios

All ready to export as JSON, CSV, or Excel, whatever works best for your workflow.

Finding the right tech events shouldn’t take hours. Scrolling through endless websites and juggling emails just to stay on top of conferences, webinars, and meetups wastes valuable time. Businesses need a smarter way event scraping pulls everything into one place, powering lead generation, competitive intelligence, and market research without the manual effort.

Section 1: Why Automated Tech Event Scraping is Non-Negotiable

The Cost of Manual Event Tracking

Manual tracking means hours lost to spreadsheets and browser tabs, with missed details and wrong dates leading to costly mistakes. Automation fixes this by collecting data quickly and accurately. Multiply your hours spent searching by your hourly rate that’s the ROI from switching to an automated event scraper. It pays off fast.

Competitive Advantage Through Real-Time Intelligence

Real-time event data lets you act before competitors. Spot a rival’s booth at a conference early, and you can plan your response immediately. One sales team secured spots at a sold-out AI summit days ahead of the crowd, connecting with key clients and boosting deals by 20%. Fast event scraping turns raw data into decisive action.

Finding Underserved Market Gaps

Scraped data reveals where events are thin. Few meetups in a city could signal low competition for your services. A niche with no conferences means a fresh opportunity. If scrapers surface sparse cybersecurity events in a region, you could host your own workshop and own that space.

Section 2: Deep Dive into Apify’s Techforce Global All Events Scraper

Architecture and Capabilities

The Techforce Global All Events Scraper on Apify pulls tech events from hundreds of online sources simultaneously. Set inputs like date ranges, keywords such as “AI conference,” or locations like “San Francisco” to filter results. It runs on Apify’s cloud no setup required on your end. Visit the

Apify scraper page for full setup details.

Data Structure: What You Extract

Each run returns event name, date and time, location, speaker info, registration link, and event type delivered in clean JSON or CSV format. Standardized output means no mix-ups: a venue listed as “SF Convention Center” stays consistent across all sources. A single run can surface 500+ events, with speaker bios ready for influencer outreach.

Customization and Scalability

Run the scraper on a daily or weekly schedule in Apify to keep your data fresh automatically. Scale to multiple instances for large jobs one enterprise team used it to track 10,000 global sources monthly. For larger teams, API integration enables fully automated pipeline updates with zero daily effort.

Section 3: Putting Scraped Event Data to Work

Lead Generation and Sales

Connect scraped attendee lists to your CRM for targeted outreach. Speaker profiles become warm leads for demos. One B2B SaaS company reached 200 attendees per day from five conferences follow-ups converted 15% into customers. High registration numbers on a topic signal the exact pitches your prospects want to hear.

Product Roadmapping

Track keywords in event descriptions to catch trends before they peak. Rising mentions of “quantum computing” or “blockchain” signal where the market is heading. One software firm spotted the blockchain wave early, shipped relevant features ahead of rivals, and gained measurable market share as a result.

Marketing Spend and Content Strategy

Gauge event popularity by how often it appears across scraped sources then sponsor the high-traffic ones for maximum exposure. Pick speaking slots at niche events where your audience is concentrated. One marketer cut ad waste by 30% by focusing budgets on events the scraper identified as high-engagement.

Section 4: Ethical and Compliant Web Scraping

Legal and Ethical Boundaries

Always check a site’s robots.txt before scraping and respect its terms of service. Scrape only publicly available data, add delays between requests (around 5 seconds), and avoid overloading servers. Apify builds these safeguards in by default follow them and you stay compliant.

Data Quality Assurance

After each run, clean and validate your data: standardize dates to MM/DD/YYYY, fill missing venues with “TBD,” remove duplicates, and purge expired events. Spot-check samples against original sources and target 95%+ accuracy. Consistent quality checks keep your scraped event data reliable and actionable.

Conclusion: The Future is Scraped and Automated

Manual tracking can’t keep pace with the tech world. The Techforce Global All Events Scraper makes it easy to gather, clean, and act on event data at scale. The key advantages are clear:

Automation saves hours previously lost to manual event discovery.

● Deeper data surfaces trends and opportunities others miss.

In 2025, businesses are no longer asking if they need AI in their digital ecosystem — they’re asking how much AI and automation can do for them. One of the most critical areas where this shift is happening is security in custom web development. Unlike template-based websites that rely on static protections, custom solutions infused with AI and automation actively safeguard businesses from evolving threats.

Why Security Can’t Be an Afterthought

Cyberattacks are becoming more sophisticated every day. From phishing and ransomware to credential stuffing and zero-day exploits, the traditional “patch and pray” approach is no longer enough. Businesses need dynamic, proactive, and intelligent security systems — and that’s where AI and automation step in.

How AI & Automation Strengthen Web Security

1. AI-Driven Threat Detection

Traditional systems wait for anomalies to be reported. AI, however, continuously monitors traffic, behavior, and access patterns. It identifies unusual logins, suspicious clicks, or fraudulent transactions in real-time, preventing breaches before they escalate.

Example: An AI model can detect a sudden login from an unusual location at 3 AM and instantly block it or send an alert.

2. Automated Security Updates & Patch Management

Manual updates are slow and leave gaps. Automation ensures continuous patching for frameworks, libraries, and APIs. This means your website stays ahead of known vulnerabilities without depending on human intervention.

Benefit: Reduced downtime, no delays in fixing critical flaws, and protection from zero-day exploits.

3. Adaptive AI Firewalls

Unlike template firewalls that use static rules, AI-powered firewalls learn and evolve. Each attempted attack makes the system smarter, ensuring higher resilience over time.

Outcome: Every new intrusion attempt strengthens defenses instead of exposing weaknesses.

4. Intelligent Access Control

AI can enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA), device fingerprinting, and behavioral biometrics. Automation ensures access levels are adjusted dynamically based on risk.

Use Case: A regular employee logging in during office hours may get quick access, while a suspicious login attempt triggers extra verification.

5. Automated Incident Response

When breaches do occur, every second matters. AI-driven automation can instantly quarantine affected systems, revoke access, and alert stakeholders. This rapid response minimizes potential damage and downtime.

6. Fraud & Data Protection with AI

From e-commerce checkouts to SaaS dashboards, AI continuously scans for fraud signals. Automated encryption and compliance checks ensure sensitive customer data is always protected.

Result: Stronger customer trust and compliance with global data protection regulations (GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA).

Why Choose Custom Web Development with AI & Automation?

Template-based sites provide basic security at best. But as cyberthreats evolve, businesses need flexible, scalable, and intelligent security strategies. Custom development allows AI and automation to be baked into the core of your system, offering:

• Tailored protection against industry-specific risks
• Scalability as your business grows
• Continuous monitoring & proactive defense
• Faster response to evolving cyber threats

Final Thoughts

Security is no longer about firewalls and passwords — it’s about intelligence and adaptability. At Techforce Global, we integrate AI and automation into every layer of custom web development, ensuring that your digital presence is not only powerful and scalable but also secure by design.

Introduction

Welcome, fellow Java enthusiasts and code wranglers! Today, we dive into the wondrous world of Project Loom. No, it’s not a revolutionary new weaving technique — though it could weave your code into a more efficient and scalable masterpiece. In this blog, we’ll unravel the mysteries of Project Loom, exploring its potential to revolutionize concurrency in Java applications. So, grab your coffee, and let’s embark on this journey through the threads and fibers of modern Java!

Brief Overview of Project Loom and Its Goals

Project Loom aims to simplify concurrency in Java by introducing lightweight, high-throughput, user-mode threads called fibers. Imagine juggling fewer chainsaws and more tennis balls; that’s the kind of relief Loom promises to bring to Java developers. Traditional Java concurrency can be a beast, but Loom is here to tame it with a fresh, intuitive approach.

Importance of Concurrency in Modern Applications

In our fast-paced digital era, applications must handle a multitude of tasks simultaneously. Whether it’s processing transactions, handling user requests, or managing data streams, concurrency is crucial. But traditional concurrency methods can be complex and inefficient, often leading to performance bottlenecks and developer headaches. Enter Project Loom, with a promise to make concurrency as easy as pie (and who doesn’t love pie?).

Understanding Project Loom

What is Project Loom?

Project Loom is an ambitious initiative by the Java community to overhaul the way we handle concurrency. It introduces fibers — lightweight, user-mode threads that are much cheaper and more scalable than traditional OS threads. Imagine running thousands or even millions of these fibers without breaking a sweat. That’s the magic of Loom.

Key Features and Differences from Traditional Concurrency Models

Loom’s fibers are designed to be cheap and plentiful, unlike traditional threads that can be resource-heavy and limited in number. Here are some standout features:

• Lightweight: Fibers consume minimal memory and CPU resources.
• Scalable: Easily handle millions of concurrent tasks.
• Simplified Concurrency: Write synchronous code that behaves asynchronously.

Think of it this way: traditional threads are like heavyweight wrestlers — strong but slow and resource-hungry. Fibers are like ninjas — agile, efficient, and able to handle numerous tasks with ease.

Benefits of Using Project Loom

• Performance: Enhanced performance due to reduced overhead.
• Simplicity: Write easier-to-read and maintainable synchronous code.
• Scalability: Scale your applications effortlessly with thousands of fibers.

Getting Started with Project Loom

Setting Up Your Development Environment

First things first, let’s set up the environment. To get your hands dirty with Loom, you’ll need the latest JDK that supports Project Loom. Follow these steps:

1. Download the latest JDK: Head over to the official Project Loom page and grab the latest build.
2. Install the JDK: Follow the installation instructions for your OS.
3. Configure your IDE: Make sure your IDE (like IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse) points to the new JDK.

Congratulations! You’re now Loom-ready.

Writing Your First Loom-based Application

Let’s start with a simple example to demonstrate the power of fibers. Here’s a “Hello, Loom!” program:

import java.util.concurrent.Executors; 
 
public class HelloLoom { 
    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException { 
        var executor = Executors.newVirtualThreadPerTaskExecutor(); 
        executor.submit(() -> System.out.println("Hello, Loom!")); 
        executor.shutdown(); 
    } 
}

This tiny program uses Loom’s virtual thread executor to print a message. Simple, right? Yet, under the hood, it’s leveraging the full power of fibers.

Migrating Existing Applications to Project Loom

Steps to Transition from Traditional Concurrency to Loom

Transitioning to Loom doesn’t have to be a Herculean task. Here are some steps to guide you:

1. Identify Concurrency Hotspots: Pinpoint where your application could benefit from fibers.
2. Refactor Gradually: Start by replacing traditional threads with virtual threads in isolated modules.
3. Test Thoroughly: Ensure your refactored code behaves correctly under load.
4. Optimize: Fine-tune your fiber usage to maximize performance.

Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither will your Loom-based application. Take it step by step.

Best Practices and Common Pitfalls

• Avoid Overhead: While fibers are lightweight, creating millions of them unnecessarily can still incur overhead.
• Resource Management: Be mindful of resource handling within fibers.
• Concurrency Control: Use appropriate synchronization mechanisms to avoid common concurrency pitfalls.

Think of fibers as kittens: cute, efficient, and capable, but let’s not unleash too many at once!

Real-World Use Cases

Case Studies of Project Loom in Action

Let’s explore some real-world examples where Loom has made a significant impact:

1. E-commerce Platforms: Improved handling of concurrent user requests, resulting in faster page loads and smoother transactions.
2. Financial Services: Enhanced performance in processing simultaneous transactions and real-time data analysis.
3. Social Media Applications: Better scalability in managing concurrent user interactions, leading to more responsive user experiences.

Performnce Improvements and Business Benefits

Businesses adopting Loom have reported:

• Reduced Latency: Faster response times due to efficient concurrency management.
• Cost Savings: Lower infrastructure costs thanks to better resource utilization.
• Developer Productivity: Easier concurrency management leads to quicker development cycles and fewer bugs.

Future of Project Loom

Introduction

GraphQL is an efficient alternative to traditional REST APIs for building modern web applications. Its flexible query language and runtime enable clients to request only the needed data, reducing bandwidth and improving performance. When paired with Node.js on the backend and React on the frontend, GraphQL allows developers to build highly efficient and scalable applications. Node.js is a fast and lightweight runtime for implementing the GraphQL API, and React’s component model complements GraphQL’s query language.

What is GraphQL API?

GraphQL, a game-changing query language and API runtime, was created by Facebook for internal use in 2012 and released to the public in 2015. By enabling clients to fetch only the data they specifically need, GraphQL minimizes unnecessary data retrieval, thus boosting overall performance. This contemporary data retrieval method is frequently compared to REST, emphasizing its superior flexibility and efficiency.

Key components:

• GraphQL queries: Enable clients to request precise data for customized responses.
• GraphQL mutations: Essential for manipulating or creating server data.

What is GraphQL Query?

Experience the power of a GraphQL query, a streamlined read operation that empowers clients to extract precise data from a GraphQL server. By enabling users to request only the data they need, it eradicates the common issues of over-fetching and under-fetching present in traditional REST APIs.GraphQL features three primary operation types: queries, mutations, and subscriptions.

Experience the power of GraphQL queries:

• Precise Data Fetching: Tailor your data retrieval by specifying which fields to retrieve, optimizing data transfer efficiency.
• Hierarchical Structure: Easily understand data relationships with a query structure that reflects the shape of the returned data.
• Strong Type System: GraphQL APIs enforce a robust type system, guaranteeing that clients request valid data types and receive dependable results.

Basic Structure of a GraphQL Query:

A standard GraphQL query consists of the following components:

• Operation Type: This indicates the type of operation being carried out, such as a query, mutation, or subscription. For instance:

• Fields: These specify the data that will be fetched. In the given example, the fields “name” and “gender” are requested for the character entity.
• Arguments: These are optional parameters that can be provided to fields to filter or customize the returned data. For example:

Designing a GraphQL API with Node.js:

Involves several steps, from setting up your environment to defining your schema and resolvers. Below is a comprehensive guide to help you through the process.

Setting Up Node.js Environment

1.Create a New Project:
Start by creating a new directory for your project and initializing a new Node.js application.

2.Install Required Packages:
You will need to install several packages, including Express and Apollo Server, which simplifies the process of building a GraphQL server.

3.Set Up Basic Server:
Create an index.js file to set up your Express server with Apollo Server.

Defining schema

GraphQL uses a schema to define the types of data that can be queried. Use the GraphQL Schema Definition Language (SDL) to define your schema.

1.Create Type Definitions:
In the same index.js file, define your types and queries

2.Create Resolvers:
Resolvers are functions that resolve the data for each field in your schema.

Enhancing your API

To improve your API, consider the following enhancements:

1) Mutations: Implement the ability to create, update, and delete data from clients.

2) Error Handling: Ensure proper error handling to manage exceptions and display meaningful error messages.

3) Authentication: Secure your API and manage user sessions with JWTs (JSON Web Tokens).

4) Database Integration: Connect your API to a database (such as MongoDB) to persist data, rather than using in-memory storage.

Integrating a GraphQL API with React.js:

GraphQL and React provide a solid foundation for developing dynamic applications. This integration enables a declarative approach to fetching and manipulating data, potentially improving performance and user experience.

Setting Up React Project

1.Create a new React application using Create React App:

2.Install Apollo Client and GraphQL:

Connecting to a GraphQL API

1.Create an Apollo Client instance:
In your src/index.js file, set up Apollo Client by specifying your GraphQL endpoint:

Fetching Data with Queries

To fetch data, you can use the useQuery hook provided by Apollo Client. Here’s an example of how to implement it:

1.Create a query:
Define your GraphQL query using the gql tag

2.Use the query in a component:
In your component, call the useQuery hook to execute the query

3.Render the component:
Finally, include the UsersList component in your main App component

Conclusion

In our blog, we explore GraphQl integration with Node.js and React.js. Learn how to set up a robust GraphQL server using Node.js and Express and harness the potential of React and Apollo Client for seamless interaction with the GraphQL API. By the end of the post, you’ll be ready to build dynamic, data-driven applications.

In the continuously changing landscape of technology and digital experiences, user research has emerged as an essential component of successful product development.

React Native has gained immense popularity as a framework for building cross-platform mobile applications due to its ability to use the same codebase for both iOS and Android. However, performance optimization is crucial to ensure a smooth user experience. This blog covers some of the best techniques and tips for improving the performance of React Native apps.

Optimize Image Loading

Images often consume a significant amount of resources. Here are some tips to optimize image loading:

• Use appropriate image sizes : Always use images that are appropriately sized for different screen resolutions. Loading a large image and resizing it in the app can slow down performance.
• Cache images : Utilize libraries like react-native-fast-image to cache images and reduce loading times.
• Optimize image formats : Use efficient image formats like JPEG for photos and PNG for graphics with fewer colors.

import FastImage from 'react-native-fast-image';   
   
const OptimizedImage = () => (   
  <FastImage   
    style={{ width: 200, height: 200 }}   
    source={{   
      uri: 'https://example.com/image.jpg',   
      priority: FastImage.priority.normal,   
    }}   
    resizeMode={FastImage.resizeMode.contain}   
  />  );

Use FlatList for Rendering Large Lists

When dealing with large lists, using FlatList instead of ScrollView can drastically improve performance. FlatList only renders items that are currently visible on the screen, reducing memory consumption and improving scrolling performance.

import React, { useEffect } from 'react';   
import { FlatList } from 'react-native';   
   
const MyList = ({ data }) => {   
  const renderItem = ({ item }) => (   
    <ListItem item={item} />   
  );   
   
  return (   
    <FlatList   
      data={data}   
      renderItem={renderItem}   
      keyExtractor={(item) => item.id}   
    />   
  );   
};

Optimize Rendering with Pure Component and Memo

Unnecessary re-renders can degrade performance. Use Pure Component or React.memo to prevent unnecessary re-renders of components when their props or state haven’t changed.

• If you’re using class components, extend Pure Component instead of Component. Pure Component implements should Component Update with a shallow prop and state comparison.

import React, { PureComponent } from 'react';

class MyPureComponent extends PureComponent {
render() {
// Component logic
} }

• React.memo is a higher-order component that can significantly improve performance by memoizing functional components. It prevents unnecessary re-renders when the props haven’t changed.

import React from 'react';  
  
const MyComponent = React.memo(({ data }) => {  
  // Component logic  
  return (  
    // JSX  
  );  
});

Implement useCallback for Memoized Callbacks

The useCallback hook in React is used to create memoized versions of functions. It helps avoid unnecessary re-creations of functions across re-renders, which can optimize performance, particularly when passing callbacks to child components.

import React, { useCallback } from 'react';  
  
const ParentComponent = () => {  
  const memoizedCallback = useCallback(() => {  
    // Callback logic  
  }, [/* dependencies */]);  
  
  return <ChildComponent onSomeEvent={memoizedCallback} />;  
};  
  
export default MyComponent;

Use Hermes Engine

Hermes is an open-source JavaScript engine optimized for running React Native. It can significantly improve the startup time, memory usage, and overall performance of your app.

To enable Hermes, update your android/app/build.gradle file:

project.ext.react = [
    enableHermes: true  // Enable Hermes
  ]

Optimize Navigation

Efficient navigation is crucial for a seamless user experience in React Native apps. By optimizing navigation, you can reduce the initial load time and ensure smooth transitions between screens. Using React Navigation, a popular library, you can leverage features like lazy loading and screen detachment to enhance performance.

• Enable Lazy Loading: -
  Lazy loading ensures that screens are only loaded when they are needed, which can significantly reduce the initial load time of your app.

import React, { Suspense, lazy } from 'react';
import { NavigationContainer } from '@react-navigation/native';
import { createStackNavigator } from '@react-navigation/stack';

const Stack = createStackNavigator();
// Lazy load the screens
const HomeScreen = lazy(() => import('./screens/HomeScreen'));
const DetailsScreen = lazy(() => import('./screens/DetailsScreen'));

const App = () => {
  return (
    <NavigationContainer>
      <Stack.Navigator>
        <Stack.Screen
          name="Home"
          options={{ title: 'Home' }}        >
          {props => (
            <Suspense fallback={<LoadingScreen />}>
              <HomeScreen {...props} />
            </Suspense>
          )}
        </Stack.Screen>
        <Stack.Screen
          name="Details"
          options={{ title: 'Details' }}
        >
          {props => (
            <Suspense fallback={<LoadingScreen />}>
              <DetailsScreen {...props} />
            </Suspense>
          )}
        </Stack.Screen>
      </Stack.Navigator>
    </NavigationContainer>
  );
};
const LoadingScreen = () => (
  <View style={styles.loadingContainer}>
    <ActivityIndicator size="large" color="#0000ff" />
  </View>
);
export default App;

Use InteractionManager for Expensive Operations

The InteractionManager in React Native is a utility that helps defer expensive operations until interactions and animations are complete. It allows you to ensure that costly tasks do not interfere with smooth user interactions.

import { InteractionManager } from 'react-native';  
  
const MyComponent = () => {  
  useEffect(() => {  
    InteractionManager.runAfterInteractions(() => {  
      // Run expensive operation here  
    });  
  }, []); 
 // Component logic  
};

Implement Memoization for Expensive Computations

Memoization is a technique used to optimize the performance of expensive functions by caching their results. In React, the useMemo hook can be used to memoize values computed from expensive functions, ensuring that the function is only re-computed when its dependencies change.

import React, { useEffect, useMemo } from 'react';  
import { View } from 'react-native';
const MyComponent = ({ data }) => {  
  const expensiveResult = useMemo(() => {  
    // Expensive computation  
    return someExpensiveOperation(data);  
  }, [data]);  
  return (
    <View>
      <Text>Expensive Result: {expensiveResult}</Text>
    </View>
  );    // Use expensiveResult in your component  };

Optimize State Management

Efficient state management is crucial for improving the performance of your app. Properly managing and structuring your state can prevent unnecessary re-renders and simplify state updates.

• Use Context API or Libraries like Redux
  Using the Context API or state management libraries like Redux helps in organizing state in a way that minimizes unnecessary re-renders.

import React, { createContext, useContext, useReducer } from 'react';
import { View, Text, Button, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';
// Define initial state
const initialState = {
count: 0,
};
// Define reducer
const reducer = (state, action) => {
switch (action.type) {
case 'INCREMENT':
return { …state, count: state.count + 1 };
case 'DECREMENT':
return { …state, count: state.count - 1 };
default:
return state;
}
};
// Create context
const AppContext = createContext();
const AppProvider = ({ children }) => {
const [state, dispatch] = useReducer(reducer, initialState);
return (
<AppContext.Provider value={{ state, dispatch }}>
{children}
</AppContext.Provider>
);
};
// Use context in a component
const Counter = () => {
const { state, dispatch } = useContext(AppContext);
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<Text style={styles.countText}>Count: {state.count}</Text>
<Button title="Increment" onPress={() => dispatch({ type: 'INCREMENT' })} />
<Button title="Decrement" onPress={() => dispatch({ type: 'DECREMENT' })} />
</View>
);
};
const App = () => (
<AppProvider>
<Counter />
</AppProvider>
);
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
justifyContent: 'center',
alignItems: 'center',
padding: 20,
},
countText: {
fontSize: 24,
marginBottom: 20,
},
});
export default App;

• Avoid Deep Nesting
  Keeping your state flat and avoiding deeply nested objects simplifies state updates and reduces complexity, which can improve performance.

// Before: deeply nested state
const initialState = {
    user: {
      profile: {
        name: 'John',
        age: 30,
        address: {
          city: 'New York',
          zip: '10001',
        },
      },
    },
  };
  
  // After: flattened state
  const initialState = {
    userName: 'John',
    userAge: 30,
    userCity: 'New York',
    userZip: '10001',
  };

Introduction

A webpage request is responded to with an HTTP status code. You are basically asking a server to return a document or web page each time you enter a URL, click a link, or receive a search result. A web server will send 3-digit HTTP status codes (such as 200 OK or 404 Not Found) to users, browsers and search engines to inform them of any errors in the request or issues the server may have had processing the request.

When establishing the cause of a website’s problems, such as when a web server is down and not providing pages or when incorrect links have been made on a broken website, HTTP status codes are crucial. Recognizing these problems early on is important.

There are five types or categories for HTTP status codes. The status’s class is indicated by the first number, and each class has unique codes. A descriptive term, such as “OK” or “Moved Permanently,” is typically associated with each unique status code; however, certain servers may offer more descriptive options.

HTTP Status Code Categories

• 1xx categories, respond with information
  These status codes don’t actually convey any useful information, despite their name. These indicate that the server is still processing. You are not likely to come across status codes in the 100s.
• 2xx categories, accomplishment
  The best status possible is success! What you want to see most of the time from your server is the most common response code, 200 OK. The customer is informed that their request was fulfilled and they are getting what they were looking for when they receive a successful response code.
• 3xx categories, reroute
  These show that the requested page or resource has moved. The updated URL is also sent, and the client automatically requests it after that. You might not even notice the reroute when this occurs in your web browser because it happens so quickly. It’s possible that the URL you click and the one you land on are different. This site uses the status code 301 Moved Permanently the most.
• 4xx categories, customer mistake
  These codes signal a client error, typically indicating that the client has asked for a resource that is either prohibited or does not exist. The most famous status code is found in this category: 404 Not Found.
• 5xx categories, Server error
  These numbers indicate that there was a problem with the server or that it is temporarily unavailable for repair.

There are five classes that comprise the HTTP status codes:

1. Responses with Information (100–199)
2. Successful Response (200–299)
3. Redirection Signals (300–399)
4. Responses to Client Errors (400–499)
5. Responses for Server Errors (500–599)

Responses with Information (100–199)

The request is being handled after it was received.

100 Continue
This normally informs the client that everything is fine to move forward before sending a POST request.

101 Protocols for Switching
The client ought to switch protocols in tandem with the server. When a server moves from HTTP/1.1 to another protocol, such as HTTP/2, which requires a changed syntax for requests and responses, this response is sent.

102 (Deprecated): Processing
The response has not yet been created, but the request is still being processed. This status code means that a request has been received by the server and will be responded to shortly. If the server is still processing a request but hasn’t finished, it can also return a 202 status code.

103 Early Hints
This response code means that although the request has been received, the server is unable to handle it. The server may be busy with other requests or there may be a shortage of resources.

Successful Response (200–299)

The request was successfully processed by the server, and the client is receiving a response.

200 OK
This is the most typical success response, meaning that the request was successfully processed by the server after it was received. A message body containing further details regarding the request’s outcome will also be included by the server.

201 Created
This response code shows that the server got the request, handled it satisfactorily, and produced a new resource. The URL to access the newly added resource will be contained in the location header. An example of the produced resource will be included in the response body.

202 Accepted
This reply code implies that the request was received by the server, which then made the decision to handle it. Nevertheless, there makes no mention of how successful the procedure was. Within the body of the response will be a temporary URL to view a list of the resources that are available. One of the resources can then be selected by the user through a subsequent request.

203 Non-Authoritative Information
This response number indicates that the metadata was retrieved from a local or third-party copy and is not precisely the same as what is available from the origin server. This is primarily utilized for backups or mirrors of other resources. The 200 OK response is recommended over this status, with the exception of that particular instance.

204 No Content
This request is missing any content to be sent, but the headers might be helpful. The user agent might add the updated headers to its cache for this resource.

205 Restore Content
This code instructs the user agent to return the document to its initial state. This is mostly utilized for content that the server has modified, such an HTML form that has been submitted and subsequently removed.

206 Included Content
The server has responded to your request with the response code 206, but it lacks some of the necessary information to complete it. When a request simply requires a subset of the resource to be returned, this is frequently utilized. With the exception of the response body’s incomplete content, this is comparable to 204.

207 Multiple Status
When a client request with numerous arguments is made, the server must deliver many responses. This code is used to handle such requests.

208 Report Already Published
The server has already answered this request, according to this response code. This is frequently used by the server to tell the client not to make the same request after it was performed incorrectly.

Redirection Signals (300–399)

The client needs to take additional steps in order to complete the request, according to this class of status code. An expired URL or a redirect from another server, such as what happens when you look for anything on a search engine, could be the source of this.

300 Multiple-Choice
This code is applied to websites when the user agent or user must select one option out of several available to them. The user agent should show a link in their browser that allows them to select the page they wish to visit when this code is returned.

301 Moved Permanently
When a server has relocated permanently, this code is utilized. In the event that the server responds to this, user agents should no longer bookmark or cache the page because its URL has changed.

302 Found Error
When a resource has been momentarily relocated, this code is applied. This implies that if the user agent still needs to finish processing its present state, it may keep making requests for data from this resource in the future.

303 See Other Response
When a user agent should not be allowed to process its present state after being redirected to another resource by the server, this code is used. This implies that in subsequent requests, the server will send a duplicate of every request header that this new resource returns.

304 Not Changed
When the user agent accesses a resource and the server’s contents haven’t changed since the last request, this code is used. This indicates that subsequent requests won’t require you to submit a fresh copy of this resource.

307 Temporary Redirect
This code is used by the server to inform the client that a request has been redirected and that there is a temporary constraint on the new resource’s availability. Additionally, this code can be used in situations where the server has to temporarily reroute all requests for a specific resource (such when it is performing maintenance on that resource).

308 Redirect Permanently
All upcoming requests should be routed to the new resource, as indicated by this code, which the server uses to notify the client that a request has been permanently redirected. Furthermore, URI of the newly added resource may be included in the location field value of a location request header field included by the server.

Responses to Client Errors (400–499)

The customer did not comply with a legitimate request. A misconfigured URL or not having authorization to access a file or resource on the server could be the cause of this. This can also happen if a page is relocated or removed, but the client must find out if it hasn’t been updated to reflect these changes (such as old bookmarks).

400 Bad Request
The server cannot or will not process the request (e.g., invalid data) if it thinks there is a client issue. The client should refrain from sending the request until it has been repaired.

401 Not Permitted
The target resource cannot be accessed by the client. For access or authorization, the client could be required to submit credentials (password and username, for example).

402 Requires Payment
The client must make payment in order to use the desired resource. The inability to access it for free or the presence of a paywall may be to blame. User payment is required before the request may be fulfilled. This temporary state is taken into account only if the answer includes a “id” field, which is a field used to identify the payment. This answer is final, and you need to buy the resource before making another request if no such ID was provided.

403 Forbidden Error
The requested resource could not be accessed by the client. This can occur from the user not having the necessary rights to submit this request. It is preferable to not make this request at all than to receive an error response from the server because doing so could result in data loss or corruption.

404 Not Found
A resource that you requested is not available. The most typical HTTP error is this one. Additionally, since this error is generic, there are numerous possible causes for it to arise. It’s possible that the resource you’re looking for has moved or been removed, or that you typed the URL incorrectly.

405 Method is forbidden
The server does not support the http method that you requested. For example, if you attempt to use an HTTP GET request on a POST-only resource, the server will reply with this error.

406 Not Acceptable
The desired format or encoding could not be provided by the resource. It’s crucial to remember that this error may also point to a discrepancy between the requests made by your client and the resources made available by the server. For instance, the server may return this error if you request JSON, but it only supports XML.

407 Needs Proxy Authentication
This error means that in order for you to access the resource, the origin server needs to authenticate you through your proxy. There are various possible causes for this: Proxy servers might not be trusted by the server, or it might not want them to access resources on its behalf. Your proxy is not restricted by any IP address or network that the server might be set up to only permit access from.

408 Request Timeout
This error means that the response was not sent to the server in the allotted amount of time. Many things could be the cause of this: It’s possible that the server is overloaded and isn’t responding as quickly as it should. It’s possible that the network connection between the server and your proxy was lost.

409 Conflict
The 409 Conflict status code is used to indicate when the user may be able to resubmit the request after resolving the conflict and indicates that the request could not be performed because of a conflict with the target resource’s current state.

410 Gone Error
The resource you requested has been permanently removed by the server. This most frequently occurs when a page or other resource is removed from the host server but is still cached by your proxy.

411 Length Required
The server has denied the request with the 411 Length Required status code because it needs the Content-Length header field to be provided.

412 Precondition Failed
A request with a precondition was received by the server, but it was not met. The reason for the server’s inability to satisfy a precondition may have been attributed to an error in the server’s implementation of the precondition, or it could have been caused by the request method or time.

413 Payload Too Large
A request with a payload larger than what the server can handle has been received by the server. This error is frequently encountered during file uploads and may arise from the client providing an excessive number of bytes.

414 URI Too Long
A request URI that is longer than the server can handle has been received by the server.

415 Media Type Not Supported
A request for a media type that the server does not support has been received. This can happen if the client transmits a format that is not supported (for example, trying to upload a JPEG image to a server that only accepts PN

416 Range Not Satisfiable
The request that the server received had an incorrect range header field. This may occur when you download a file larger than the maximum size that is supported or try to upload a file with many ranges but only one of them is valid.

417 Expectation Failed
A request with an incorrect Expect header has been received by the server. This can happen if you try to send the necessary GET / HTTP/1.1 request before using the Expect: 100-continue header.

418 I’m a teapot.
This code is frequently used by servers to reply to requests they would prefer not to process.

423 Locked
There is a resource lock on the server, thus it cannot process the request. This can be a transient issue that can be fixed by trying again later, or it might point to a server issue.

429 Too Many Requests Error
The client has made too many requests in too short a time for the server to handle. This could be the result of client-side software bugs or a sign of a denial-of-service assault. Occasionally, this code is sent together with a Retry-After header that can be used to specify how long to wait before attempting to execute the request again.

431 Too Large Request Header Fields
The request’s header fields are too big; thus the server won’t process it. After the request header fields are made smaller, the request can be resubmitted.

451 Unavailable for Legal Reasons
The user agent asked for a resource that is not allowed to be given, like a government-censored website.

Responses for Server Errors (500–599)

These errors are generated by the server. A database error, which can happen when the database gets corrupted or overloaded, is the most frequent cause. On the server side, malfunctioning hardware or software could also be the source of these issues.

500 Error on the Internal Server
The server has run into a scenario that it is ill-prepared to handle.

501 Not Implemented
The server does not support the request method; hence it cannot be processed. Only GET and HEAD are mandatory methods that servers must provide, so they cannot return this code.

502 Bad Gateway
This error response indicates that the server received an incorrect response while acting as a gateway to obtain the response required to process the request.

503 Service Unavailable
The server is unable to process the request due to a transient overload or scheduled maintenance; this will likely be fixed shortly. The length of the delay, if known, may be included in a relevant Retry-After header parameter.

504 Gateway Timeouts
This indicates that the server was unable to process your request in a timely manner due to uncontrollable technical issues (such as network congestion). Usually, it’s the result of an overloaded network or sluggish answers from outside servers, like Internet service provider or CDN (Content Delivery Network) servers.

505 HTTP Version Not Supported
The server does not support the version of HTTP that was used in the request.

506 Variant Also Negotiates
The selected variant resource is set up to engage in transparent content negotiation itself, making it an improper end point in the negotiation process. This indicates that the server has an internal configuration problem.

507 Limited Storage
The server is unable to store the representation required to correctly finish the request, hence the method could not be applied to the resource.

508 Loop Detected
The request was being processed when the server noticed an infinite loop.

510 Not Extended
The server must grant the request with additional extensions.

511 Requires Network Authentication
This status code indicates that before the client may make any more requests, it needs to authenticate with the server. If the client provides credentials for authentication, they might be able to resolve this issue.
