Every day, millions of people actively search the internet for goods and services to buy. More people prefer to shop online because it is more convenient and they have a wider range of options. As a result, more businesses employ e-commerce websites as a way to increase sales and reduce operating costs.

While this may seem like a perfect solution for large companies, many small businesses struggle to run even a basic website. Often, the problem lies in the cost and maintenance of keeping the website operational. Many of them eventually get discouraged and..more..https://alabiansolutions.com/blog/5-ways-to-sell-online-without-a-website/

The U.S stock market is the largest and most valuable in the world, and every investor wants a piece of it. Buying US stock by non-Americans used to be a long, tedious process requiring multiple checks and documentation. At the very least, you must possess a valid US visa or green card.

One of the barriers to national development is a lack of access to services and instruments which could better the lives of the masses. In many developing countries, more than half of the population does not have access to basic financial services.

A 2020 report by Enhancing Financial Innovation and Access (EFInA) revealed that about 38 million Nigerians are totally financially excluded. Only about 51% of the adult population had access to formal financial services. These services included payments, savings, credit, insurance, and pension.

The Central Bank of Nigeria had in 2012 created a National Financial Inclusion Strategy.

Mobile phones have rapidly evolved from the bulky antennaed devices of the 20th century to the sleek and compact devices that are now available. Modern mobile phones are called ‘smartphones’ because they enable users to do so much more than making calls and sending text messages. Users can install different types of third-party apps such as video games, web browsers, email clients, multimedia programs, work, and productivity tools, etc.

Essentially, smartphones are computers, just in smaller sizes. Some of the more advanced models come with bigger memory spaces and faster CPUs and offer many of the features available in a regular PC.

Following the Twitter ban by the Federal Government of Nigeria, more and more people are turning to Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) as a way of circumventing the order and go about their ‘tweeting’ business. In fact, recent figures from Google Trends showed more than a 100% increase in VPN-related searches coming from Nigeria.

For less tech-savvy folks, a VPN simply put, is a service that protects your internet connection and online privacy. It creates an encrypted tunnel for your data which shields your online identity by hiding your IP (Internet Protocol) address. It also allows you to use public Wi-Fi hotspots safely.

Cloud Native refers to a set of development practices that organizations use to deliver their products at scale with the help of either private or hybrid or public cloud providers. To deliver products at scale and at the same time at high speed and with great agility, we make use of containerization software such as Docker or Containerd, etc. Think of containers as small computers used to run a specific application. This helps us deploy parts of our application independently as containers and this whole process is not that hard.

All of the above-mentioned technologies will perform in-efficiently if the right type of development architecture is not used. In comes Microservices. The idea behind microservices is that instead of making a tightly coupled system with different features closed to one another, what we do..More..https://alabiansolutions.com/blog/intro-to-cloud-native/

From automobiles and space transportation to manufacturing and healthcare, Elon Musk sure has his fingers in a lot of innovative pies. His projects take on almost every major industry and are uniquely futuristic, disrupting the very fundamental concepts and operations of that sector.

Electric cars and reusable rockets aside, Musk has now set his sights on telecommunications. As expected, his plans are nothing within the sphere of the ordinary. He is planning to launch a phone network service using satellites operated by his aerospace company, SpaceX.

SpaceX has already launched more than 1,000 satellites for its Starlink internet service and has signed up its first crop of customers in the U.S, U.K, and Canada. India, China, and Africa are set as the next target market. In addition, it plans to put 12,000 smaller satellites into the earth’s orbit within the next few years. This mega constellation will eventually be able to transmit high-speed internet coverage anywhere on the..More..https://alabiansolutions.com/blog/is-elon-musks-starlink-the-future-of-telecommunications/

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, Tether, and Litecoin are some of the more known cryptocurrencies among the hundreds that exist in the crypto market. However, crypto-investors were put in a stir last week when the price of DubaiCoin, a less known crypto, rose by 1,114% in less than 24 hours.

Last month was a significant time for crypto-owners all over the world, and not necessarily in a pleasant way. The value of the world’s top cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, fell by almost 40% from about $61,000 to $31,000 in a matter of days. Two other popular cryptocurrencies, Ethereum and Dogecoin, also fell by 40% to 45%.

This downward trajectory is the antithesis of a dramatic rise in crypto prices when Bitcoin’s value rose by ten times between April last year and April this year. To a large extent, this dramatic rise was sparked by Tesla’s announcement in February of last year that it had purchased $1.5 billion in Bitcoin and planned to accept it as legal payment.

This added legitimacy to the cryptocurrency and Bitcoin soared by 16% that day, creating a favorite dip for investors and traders. However, two factors changed the game.
