All Tideways applications with a Pro license can now create additional production Environments in addition to the one that is available by default. Configuring a second or more environments as "production" effects the retention and the traces/minute collected for these environments. By default non-production environments have just 1 day of retention and 1 trace/minute.

If you are a magician specialized in Talend magic, we always hear a key word called Dynamic ingestion of data from various sources to target systems instead of creating individual Talend job for each data flow. In this blog, we will do a quick recap of the concept of Dynamic schema and how we can reorder or shuffle columns when we are employing Dynamic schema in ingestion operations.

If Benjamin Franklin were alive today, some of his his famous words would have instead read, “Nothing is certain but death and taxes and Excel“.

It’s nearly five years since we started Bugfender as an offshoot of our software company Mobile Jazz. We’d gotten tired of chasing users who were experiencing problems with our apps and wanted to build an internal remote logging tool that would feed the information straight to us. It really was a garage project back then. We were running code sprints on our own time, so we wouldn’t have to dig into our savings. But we soon realized this could be much more than an internal experiment.

Thanks to PHP being an interpreted language and it that it has a garbage collector, PHP developers don't often have to think about memory management. Unlike developers in compiled languages, such as C/C++, we don't have to give that much thought to memory allocation and deallocation.
