Design Tools to Help You Create Your Next Project- Part 3

Coolors

Coolors is a super fast color scheme generator. You can explore thousands of pre-existing color schemes (each one features five colors). Or, you can generate your own in a matter of minutes. Once you go to the “generate” page, hit the space bar to start with a different color scheme, and then you can adjust each color’s hue, saturation, and brightness accordingly.


Web Gradients

Web Gradients is a collection of almost 200 background gradients, created by the itmeo team. You can use each of these content backdrops for any part of your website. You’ll find a .PNG version of each gradient, as well as easy-to-copy CSS3 crossbrowser code. Bonus: there are even curated packs for Sketch & Photoshop.


On Color Hunt, browse through countless palettes, comprised of four colors each. You can browse and sort through the list based on what’s hot and popular, or just pick “random” and see what comes up. Create your own and share it on the site.


Color Palettes

Need to create a color palette for your latest website or project? It can take a surprisingly long time to create a color scheme from scratch. Make the process easier and browse through these sites for color palette inspiration

Illustrio

Get ready to spend a lot of time playing around with icons on Illustrio. There are hundreds of icons to choose from, and each one is highly customizable—get each one in 16 different styles, and make each one any color you want.



On the Swifticons site, you’ll find more than 2,000 high-quality icons, which you can download in six editable styles: outlined, filled, colored, jolly, flat, and pattern. You can download the entire pack of icons for under $100—or opt for the activities pack (152 icons), which is yours for free.

Node.js + MySQL Example: Handling 100's of GigaBytes of Data

Through this Node.js & MySQL example project, we will take a look at how you can efficiently handle  billions of rows  that take up  hundreds of gigabytes  of storage space.                          Secondary goal with this article is to help you decide if Node.js + MySQL is a good fit for your needs, and to provide help with implementing such a solution. The actual code we will use throughout this blogpost  can be found on GitHub . Why Node.js and MySQL? Use MySQL to store the distributed tracing data of the users of our  Node.js Monitoring & Debugging Tool  called Trace. We chose MySQL, because at the time of the decision, Postgres was not really good at updating rows, while for us, updating immutable data would have been unreasonably complex.
