Proxy Server?

A server that acts as a middleman between the origin server and your application.

[Wiki] A proxy server that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers.

Every request is sent to the proxy server. So where will the proxy server exactly be. By the definition, it resides in between the application and origin server.

How does it work? 


  • All the requests are sent to the proxy server. 
  • This proxy server caches the objects.
  • Only the new objects are requested from the origin server.
  • It reduces the number of requests to the origin server and also increases the performance of the application.









I hope this gives you a nice basic idea. Thanks. Happy 'Proxying' guys.

Why called it a vision is, he literally changed the way people actually look at the screen. Shot composition is done in such a way that it pulls you in to the movie from the shot-1 itself. Without any dialogue, with the camera movement and shot composition he will show you more. He likes to show more rather than telling them. His famous shot was when he put three different shots in a single shot. In that single shot also we didn't miss the emotion. That is his greatness.

Sprint Planning [Sprint Meeting] What is a Sprint? A Sprint is a set period of time during which specific work has to be completed and made ready for the review.  Typically, a sprint is about 2 weeks long and the stories/tasks taken for that period should be completed with in that time.  Let us know certain things before going further in our discussion like product backlog , sprint backlog, sprint dashboard, stories, tasks, story points, backlog grooming, backlog refinement meeting etc. A  story can be a small thing like adding a button, a user to the system, discussing with the client etc.  A task can be little more than a story that requires more effort like creating a basic login for the website, changing the database model to some extent, making calls to get new customers etc. Product Backlog: You can create as many stories/ tasks/ issues you can to deliver the product according to the requirements.
