Crypto: to be, or not to be?
I’ve long been thinking about discussing this subject, “cryptocurrency.”
A few years ago, our company had the experience in implementing several projects related to cryptocurrency, in particular, development of solutions for organization of industrial-scale crypto mining.
We have developed a smart miner and climate controller for the 40-foot shipping container, which could accommodate a lot of mining hardware and which could be controlled remotely, thus increasing the effectiveness of cryptocurrency mining operations. This product became a high-load system for us.
It wasn’t a commercial order from our customer – it was my own idea. Our company wanted to keep up with market trends at the time of certain cryptocurrency mining and sale rush. We indeed have created a very advanced and cool solution that wasn’t inferior in any way to the existing analogues! However, our euphoria did not last long: the crypto market collapsed, investors became very skeptical about cryptocurrencies, and we had no choice but to wind up our work, largely because buyers simply had no money and nobody wanted to pay a relatively small sum for a great product. People would come over, watch our presentation and then tell us: “Look, guys, you did a really great job and you have a really top-notch product, but we aren’t prepared to fork over more than 5 rubles for it, and even for these 5 rubles we want an installment plan for a year!”
We folded this project and shelved it with a note: “Till better days.” Three years have passed; during this time, cryptocurrencies have gained a strong foothold in the market, and many international analytics and rating agencies included the Bitcoin exchange rate to their stock tickers, putting it on a par with gold, oil and gas. What’s going on? Will this phenomenon indeed stay with us, despite certain skepticism of some people and market participants? What’s your take on that?

How Java will be beneficial for Your Business

According to Github's annual State of the October report, Java was the third most popular programming language in 2019.

The impact of Java on the technology world cannot be underestimated because this programming language is widely used in various fields, from desktop applications to space development by NASA.

The creators have implemented the WORA principle: write once, run anywhere. It means that both software written on the same platform will run on other devices. This universal programming language is used by companies of all sizes in their corporate server software. Applications written in Java can be found everywhere: in a smart kettle, Android smartphone, computer, or Tesla car.

Tech industry leaders are a great example of how Java can successfully address a company's needs. At Amazon, virtually all of its backend runs on Java, Oracle used Java even before the Sun Microsystems acquisition, and even the Pentagon's official website uses Java. Uber is one of the canonical examples of a successful company whose business is built around a mobile application, which, in turn, is based on Java.

Top 5 Applications of Java Programming Language

How can your business get better with Java? Let’s take a look at some ways this popular programming language can be used.

1. Android Development

At one time, Google chose Java for Android development, which certainly speaks of the effectiveness of this programming language. Today Android is the most popular operating system, and almost all mobile applications for it are written in Java. We recommend choosing Java to create enterprise applications, financial, e-commerce, to maximize the efficiency and user experience of your target audience.

2. Cloud projects

Migration to the cloud is an irreversible process in the global market. Most companies transfer everything to cloud platforms – from data warehouses and individual services to the entire IT infrastructure. And the most popular programming language for corporate development in the cloud is Java. Java is used to build application servers in the cloud, network API, etc. Java is needed not to develop new applications in the cloud but to ensure that the application will work equally well in the modern “platform mix” of the cloud, mobile, and desktop devices.

3. Enterprise web application

In 2020, over 90% of Fortune 500 companies use Java-based applications. Whether it’s a market giant or a midsize business, an enterprise application allows you to successfully manage and scale your business using the Java EE platform. Such applications are also in demand for banking systems, corporations, scientific and government organizations.

4. Desktop application for different operating systems

Java makes it much easier to create a cross-platform desktop application than most other languages. By choosing this technology, you save time and costs for developing separate versions of Linux, Windows, and Mac OS.

5. Web application development

Java -it’s a good option for writing service-oriented solutions level of large companies and enterprises. If your business needs a custom web application development service like a cashback service or a web financial transfer system, a solution in the field of online advertising, contact professionals from KUBAS Labs to develop modern web applications in Java.

How to be noticed among other similar ones? How do you keep your attention when it is scattered and running from one object to another? How can I be heard when all of them sound at the same time? How to be understood when different polar information breaks people’s consciousness? How to keep up at this furious pace, where time is the most valuable resource. Once you stopped – you was left behind a million-strong column of entrepreneurs trying to be the first to reach a successful final.

Those things that give acceleration, instant reaction, quick understanding. All this is a must have for a person leading a modern business.

Cars that drive faster. Texts that are faster to reach understanding. Partnerships that produce instant results. Programs that are faster than human activity.
All the things that make it possible not to stay behind the competitors are vital things. In one of the last article, we talked about the benefits of chatbots and how they can save you and your customers time.

Today we will talk about another “must have” and IT trend in 2020-2021.

AMP - accelerated mobile pages.

You need not resort to statistics to prove that a larger percentage of consumers use the Internet via smartphones and mobile devices.traffic from smartphones and tablets have already exceeded desktop traffic from computers and laptops. Just look around and you will see how people massively hang out on their phones in cafes, in the subway, on the streets, and even sitting at home on the couch. People scroll through the pages of the Internet and it is difficult to keep their attention at one point. 50% of people cancel opening a site just because it takes longer than 3 seconds to open. Again, no one wants to wait. This is why conversion rates are reduced. This is how potential customers and buyers are lost. This is a statistic. You can have a beautiful, well-built website, but the more information it has in the form of high-quality videos, photos, and other media content, the more time it takes to open on your smartphone. In addition, there is not always a fast Internet connection. For a business that sells online, it is important to get ahead of the competition and be noticed, keep the attention and intrigue the consumer. AMP is one of the helpers in this. AMP is the mobile express page, which provides a maximum download speed of the website. This works, even if the Internet is slow.

AMP is a radically stripped-down version of regular web pages. Only the main content remains on accelerated pages. It is important that this content is informative and motivates the consumer to go to the primary site and learn more about you. AMP creation from Google. Therefore, Google strongly supports its child and develops this direction. The technology of mobile page acceleration does not give sites an advantage in ranking, but it significantly increases the loading speed, about ten times, and this is taken into account when generating search results. Content projects and news sites benefit from implementing AMP if they get caught in the carousel. This element is displayed at the top of the SERP above the search results. This provides sites with accelerated pages with additional traffic. Of course, AMP is less functional and not as visually appealing as the main web page. In order for the page to open as quickly as possible, developers cut down many things, but it is created precisely as a trigger and its task is to draw the consumer’s attention to your existence, as a business unit and motivate them to go to the site to learn more about you. Is it possible to do without an AMP? Whether you need this layer between you and a potential buyer is up to you, but a few years ago, site owners were skeptical about the need to adapt a website to mobile traffic. Today, a mobile version or adaptive layout is a prerequisite for effective operation of an online resource. Everything goes to where soon AMP technology will become one of the basic conditions for the effectiveness of a web page. Used by popular and global platforms such as Google, Bing, and Twitter, AMP guarantees users from all these surfaces an unparalleled, often instant and natural experience by default selecting AMP pages when they are available. AMP can increase the site’s rating, which has a positive effect on its SEO and promotion. Technologies are becoming more complex, requirements for quality and speed are growing, and if you want your site to be “at the top”, you need to take into account adaptive design, AMP when developing or at least when optimizing it. Whatever platform your web page is on, whether it is OpenCart, Magento, PrestaShop or other, we will create a high – quality version of AMP for you.

BOTs for your business

We continue our series of articles about IT trends. Read and be literate. Information technologies are rapidly being introduced into all spheres of life. It is important to understand this and be aware of the information.

BOT BASED ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

“... you don’t remember what the world was like without robots. There was a time when faced with the Universe, the man was alone and had no friends. Now he has helpers, beings stronger, more reliable, more effective than he is, and absolutely loyal to him. Humanity is no longer alone. Did it ever occur to you?....” Isaac Asimov “ I, robot”

We are already creating the future.
Based on the AIML technology, the British Steve Warswick created the bot “Mitsuku”. From 2013 to 2019, Mitsuku won the Al Loebner competition 5 times. The program competed in passing the Turing test. The test is passed if the computer conducts a conversation in such a way that the person can not determine whether he is communicating with another person or a machine.
“Mitsuku” was named the most human bot. And in January 2020, Google introduced an even better “Meena“ program and stated that Meena can conduct more intelligent conversations than any of the existing analogues on the market today. Its conversational neural network uses over 2.6 billion parameters, and the development team used 40 billion words for training. “Mitsuku” and “Meena” were tested for average awareness and specificity in responses. Mitsuku scored 56% and Meena 79%. An interesting fact is that the human index is 86%. Bots are “coming at our heels”. Although users often encounter them in social networks and messengers, these programs are still not fully understood by most. People do not know how a bot can be useful for them in business or in solving any problems of everyday life? The day will inevitably come when we will all communicate with bots in the same language. After all, they learn to think like us, communicate like us, and expect our needs. They study us, and it is important for us to have an expert knowledge about them.
Bots - programs that mimic human activity, creating the illusion of live communication. You can just talk to the bot, or you can get business information.
It all depends on the specifics of the implementation platform (messengers, management systems, websites, PWA, social networks, search engines, any application connected to the Internet) and the purpose (the bot can play a game with you or tell you a horoscope, recommend a book or movie, pick up a flight and book a ticket, inform you about the weather or answer your questions. Some chatbots are able to joke.

The stronger the program’s knowledge base, the more questions it will close from users.

The BOT AI in the business.. At the moment, a bot based on artificial intelligence has become a kind of business card, a sign that the company has the funds to buy and maintain it. Although we want to say that the development of bots is much cheaper than the development of, for example, applications. An organization that has a chatbot is focused on fast and high-quality interaction with the client. This relationship is beneficial both for the company - saving money and time on routine work performed by employees, and for customers – through chatbots, they receive an instant response from the support service or instructions on how to solve the problem. In addition, bots work around the clock and seven days a week. Now everyone is concerned about improving the efficiency of work processes. Specialists move away from monotonous work and strive to direct their resources to more creative tasks. The client does not want to spend time and effort on sessions to resolve certain issues. Thanks to bots, both sides become more mobile and efficient. Internet seller – Internet buyer, Bank-client, medical institution-patient, public institution-citizen, teacher-student, any activity in any field benefits from such communication.

We are talking about AI bots as one of the modern and fashionable trends in IT solutions. Therefore, in order not to become, as they say, a victim of fashion, you need to clearly understand what tasks can be solved with this program and only then consider its implementation in the product. For example, you need a customer to make purchases or order services from you and not waste time and nerves trying to call the sales Manager. Your store needs a bot. If you want to track technical information, behavior, and activity to create a “user profile”, you need a bot. One of the reasons why chatbots have become popular as a shopping channel is that they sell services and products directly at the point where potential customers gather. If this is important to you, you need a bot. If you want to reach a large range of customers in a messenger, such as Facebook, you also need a bot. If you need to inform customers about promotions, discounts, or advice on the range that will encourage them to buy, you need a bot. If you want to have quick feedback from customers to improve the quality of your work and thus avoid competitors, the bot will help you. Keep in mind that this program can interact with hundreds of people at once. Thus, at the moment, the chatbot is a powerful tool and an indispensable assistant in a fast-moving world where both the buyer and seller value their time.
ONE QUESTION that cannot be ignored in the context of this article. On the Internet, they write that everyone can create their own bot and tell you how to do it. Is this true? Yes, but only if you need a low-competitive, low-functional, simple program.

Only IT specialists can make a chatbot based on artificial intelligence with strong functionality. We are a professional team and ready to cooperate. Call us or email us. Kubas Labs https://zcu.io/3b8K

In the next decade, chatbots will remain the most common tool for serving people and will become one of the main industry of digital development.

App Development with AWS Amplify Framework

As more and more organizations use cloud computing, the number of cloud-enabled applications is growing at a rapid pace. The cloud allows an organization to scale as their business grows while eliminating the overhead of internal operations. In keeping with this trend, Amazon introduced Amplify iOS and Amplify Android, which are part of the open-source Amplify Framework. AWS Amplify includes libraries and tools, allowing mobile developers to build scalable and secure cloud-powered applications.

What is AWS Amplify?

AWS Amplify is a development environment for building web and mobile apps on Amazon Web Services as quickly as possible.
What does it offer?

● JavaScript Declarative Library - Connects front-end code to a cloud service.
● The Amazon Amplify Command Line Interface (CLI) is a faster way to set up your backend with a single toolchain.

In the simplest terms, Amazon Amplify Framework is a set of libraries, command-line interface, and UI components that let you build the backend and integrate it with the apps built-in iOS, Android, and React Native or web frameworks as React, Angular, and Ionic. Ultimately, it offers full-stack development without worrying about iterations and backend configurations.

Its goal is to provide an end-to-end platform for building and maintaining cloud applications that offer a similar experience to native. When the back end is serverless, developers can focus on the code and its efficiency rather than the tuning, maintenance, and performance of the back end.

A cloud-enabled application relies on a cloud provider's services to handle all internal operations, allowing developers to focus on the core of the app. It reduces development time and cost and provides project scalability when needed.
Here are some specific scenarios where AWS Amplify is the best option:

● When you want to build a cloud-connected application on web and mobile platform
● When you want to utilize JavaScript in mobile app development
● When you don't want to bother about maintaining servers and backend service
● When you prefer scalability and faster app development as important factors
● When you want to build custom backend using pluggable and ready-to-use components
● When you want to enhance your existing app using cloud features
This is the fastest way to build cloud applications as it provides many ready-to-use components and a command-line interface that allows you to configure the back end with fewer code lines.

What are the benefits of using AWS Amplify?

1. A more comfortable and faster way to build cloud-connected, full-stack mobile and web applications
2. No need to manage hosting infrastructure
3. Modern UI-based approach for building scalable applications
4. Better user experience with AR / VR, 3D scenes, and engaging text/voice interfaces
5. Faster, with built-in support for internal management and deployment.
6. Automated mobile app testing for quick release of features and updates
If you are planning to build your application from scratch or thinking about improving an existing one, AWS Amplify is a great platform to consider. Web development company KUBAS Labs is already actively implementing this framework to create web and mobile apps for clients.

Do you have any thoughts to Amplify mobile app?

How to Increase The Conversion of a Selling Site Through The Technical Condition

Specialists from KUBAS Labs have come across many cases when an existing company website acts as a kind of ineffective Internet enterprise flyer. The resource, in the development, was invested a lot of money and time, leads 1-2% of clients per year, and its main task is to exist because competitors have the same sites simply. We are confident that our experience in eCommerce development services can help you avoid such troubles. Therefore, we have collected a few tips in this article.

So, the company's website's main task is to facilitate the implementation of everyday tasks for the user:

● information search;
● ordering purchases and services;
● communication.

To do this, you should provide it with all the necessary tools and make your stay on the site as comfortable as possible. Very often, it is technical flaws that are the reason for the client's departure. Therefore, pay attention to the following technical details:

1. Page speed. For every new second, a user spends waiting for a page to load, the conversion rate decreases by about 7%. Therefore, it is important not to burden the pages with unnecessary graphical elements and to optimize the code to reduce the number of requests between the browser and the server. The optimal time is up to 3 seconds.

2. Mobile Responsive is another essential aspect affecting mobile traffic conversions. In the previous article, we said that this is more than half of all visitors. The selling site must be perfectly displayed on all devices.

3. The ability to search the site. If your corporate resource has many services, product cards, or has a blog, the search function is a must. This makes it much easier for the user to find the desired pages and significantly increases the likelihood of ordering.

4. Filters and the ability to compare. Often, company websites function as an online store, and for it to work effectively, it is necessary to provide appropriate tools. The filter allows you to facilitate the process of searching for a product according to specific criteria, and the ability to compare several similar products significantly saves time for the buyer.

How to Make a Website Selling Using Design

Marketing design is a fundamental component of high conversion rates. The critical task of the designer is the convenience of the interface. Most visitors are entirely indifferent to what color your logo is or the choice of font in headlines. But the presentation structure and the layout of the buttons can play a decisive role. Besides, interactive tooltips and icons that indicate the performed actions increase conversions. When designing mobile screens, remember to place buttons where they are most comfortable reaching your right thumb.
To develop from scratch or update an existing website, we recommend contacting professionals. KUBAS Labs web development company provides full-cycle custom web development services. Leave a request for a consultation, and we will offer working technical and design strategies that will increase the conversion of your site.

In a world where information technologies are rapidly developing and IT developments are being implemented in all sectors of life, it is impossible to conduct business without literacy in this area. Today’s article opens a series of publications that will be useful to anyone who wants to know more.

IT trends PWA is an innovative solution for your site.

“Let’s assume that there are two similar women and appearance, and wealth, and age, they differ only in one thing—one has a dress from Versace, and the other does not. Guess which of these women makes love more often?” D. Versace.
“Let’s say there are two similar sites and the design, technology, and year of creation, they differ only in one—one site has a PWA, and the other does not. Guess which of these sites has the best chance of a business relationship?”

We think the idea is clear.

PWA for the site, as “dress from Versace”. Progressive Web Apps is one of the most fashionable trends in web development. After all, the IT world, and the fashion industry, has its own trends. This miracle technology created by Apple Corporation in 2007, but all these years it has been improving, now it has become a popular trend and many people consider it the technology of the future. What is PWA, what is its modernity and usefulness?
PWA transforms the site into a mobile app. In a desktop browser, the progressive web app remains a regular site. And when a user opens it in a mobile, PWA turns into a hybrid site and app.
A large percentage of users do not download any apps per month. And the number of online shoppers who make their purchases using mobile devices is steadily growing. Now let’s connect these two stories. PWA allows users to view their favorite websites in a mobile web browser and without downloading special apps. Not only in a mobile web browser, but also on the desktop. One more important thing. Let’s talk about popular programs. Such as video hosting, social networks, and message boards. A huge percentage of people spend time there via smartphones and tablets. Through desktop browsers only 13%. PWA is a compromise solution for this. It allows you to open your favorite app using a mobile browser, while fully preserving the functionality of the native app. In terms of functionality, progressive apps are superior to regular websites. People want to get information from the site quickly. After all, one indicator of resource quality is efficiency. The failure rate is proportional to the page load time. PWA increases speed. The ability to work with the app even if you don’t have the Internet, push notifications, detectability, ease of installation and easy launch, automatic updates, use of phone functions, security, instant updates, sharing progressive web applications, and much more-increases the level of traffic and conversion. We can safely say that PWA increases the overall performance of the site and its usability, expands the possibilities of interaction with mobile users. The above characteristics distinguish PWA from native applications. That’s why PWA is innovative. There are many good examples of using PWA in various areas of Commerce in the world. For example, the French house of perfumes and cosmetics Lancome, the social network Twitter, the search engine for hotels Trivago, the marketplace Alibaba, the Internet media Forbes and many others.
Progressive Web Apps is rapidly becoming the prevailing force in application development. You will be at the forefront of your industry, ahead of the competition, if you use PWA now.
