Free online OCR [Extract text from image]

Its often very tedious to read the huge error message in a pop up window which is not selectable and re-writ eit a forum or email for help. free-ocr.com allows you to upload any image containing the text and extract the text in an editable format for further usage.

There are several OCR software available (http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/) but this is a web based tool which needs no download and installation.

This can also be used for Converting a scanned document to editable text.

Load Testing Using Gatling

Gatling is an open source load testing framework based on Scala programming language. One of the advantage of Gatling over other load testing framework that I have used is that the code is very elegant and readable, thanks to its own DSL. One may not have prior knowledge of Scala to get started with Gatling. There are some documentation in the Gatling website which will help you write simple HTTP calls to your webservices but it gets bit difficult to incorporate the exact scenario of your test case because there are not much variety of example code which you can quickly edit and use. In this article I will try to show most of the structural construct that are frequently used while making a series of dependent web-service calls, typically used by a mobile game client while interacting with the game server.

Setup instructions are well described in the getting started tutorial. Following scala code will make a POST request to a mock REST endpoint that I have created using mockable.io.

This feature might be available shortly as part of other features of Google Search bar.

Image
When it comes to CI/CD pipeline, Jenkins is one of the popular tools that a lot of software companies use. With google cloud build one can build and deploy their app right from source repository like GitHub to AppEngine. It's a pay as you go service. However the first 120 build-minutes per day is free, so one can very easily try for their side projects where the deployment frequency is not more than a few times a day. However its always a good idea to limit your billing account and have alerts on usage in case it goes over the free tier due to some build stuck and running indefinitely. Here we will take an example of a go based appengine standard project.

First, to have Cloud Build be able to deploy to appengine we need to give the service account it's going to use the roles that are required.

Find the project id

NUM=$(gcloud projects describe $PROJECT \ --format="value(projectNumber)") && echo ${NUM}
Derive the service account name from the project id and as…
