Full Stack is the entire depth of a computer system application - including front-end, database, and back-end systems, along with any other supplementary components. Benefits includes:

βœ… Cost efficiency
βœ… Increased efficiency for application deployment
βœ… Increased agility to adapt to changes in the marketplace and to respond to new opportunities
βœ… Improved scalability without having to make significant changes to applications

As part of GovTech’s efforts to enable government agencies to build such services quickly and effectively, we have developed the Singapore Government Tech Stack (SGTS), a common platform that enables citizens to have a more secure, seamless, consistent and connected user experience across the spectrum of government digital services.

πŸ“’ #SmartNation and #DigitalGovernment #IndustryBriefing 2023

Last week, we held our annual Industry Briefing. The hybrid event connected the public sector with ICT partners and showcased partnership opportunities and key ICT projects. More than 500 industry partners joined us in person while over a thousand caught the event online.

The Singapore Government is always eager to co-create better digital services to improve the lives of citizens and support businesses.

Here's a recap of the key highlights, from how the government is continuing to push ahead with the cloud strategy and finding more ways to work closely with the ICT industry, to the introduction of sustainability criteria in the evaluation of ICT contracts.

We use it daily without really noticing it πŸ‘€ But what actually is HTTP? Is HTTPS its plural form? πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™€οΈ

πŸ‘‰ Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a medium that lets your browser communicate with servers through the exchange of data.

πŸ‘‰ Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is an extension of that, powered by Transport Layer Security (TLS), that – you probably guessed it by now – transfers data more securely by encrypting it. This makes HTTPS websites a lot less vulnerable to hackers!

Give this a πŸ‘ if you learnt something new today!
