You can use this to search, match and compare faces, or measure characteristics such as age, and gender.

• Anatomy of a User Story — Agile BSA

  As you can see, the overall structure of a User Story is relatively simple. However, things can get very complex quickly based upon the type of functionality you are attempting to describe. The most important thing isn’t actually the User Story…it’s the Acceptance Criteria associated with the User Story that is most critical. If we do not define the Acceptance Criteria, we can never know whether if the User Story is complete.

• Choreography vs Orchestration in the land of serverless | theburningmonk.com

  In orchestration, there is a controller (the ‘orchestrator’) that controls the interaction between services. It dictates the control flow of the business logic and is responsible for making sure that everything happens on cue. This follows the request-response paradigm.In choreography, every service works independently. There are no hard dependencies between them, and they are loosely coupled only through shared events. Each service listens for events that it’s interested in and does its own thing. This follows the event-driven paradigm.
