Universal Links are an iOS feature allowing seamless integration between web content and native iOS apps. With iOS Universal Links we can intelligently configure a specific web URL, associating it with our iOS app so it will open directly when the URL is clicked.

Ruby on Rails has changed how we build web applications. Early on, the framework came with some great features to help you get started and build robust applications. However, it can still be tricky to build and handle forms. Simple Form is a great option. Let's examine what Simple Form is, why we might need it, and some real use cases.

Pagination means dividing a big chunk of data into smaller pages. It unlocks performance benefits for the backend, while also improving UX by sending manageable pieces of data to a client. In this article, we'll explore offset-based and cursor-based server-side pagination approaches, compare them, and implement cursor-based pagination in Node.js. Let's get started!

In many industries (finance and healthcare, to name a couple), regulations require the use of multi-factor authentication (MFA) to protect access to sensitive data and transactions. Also, an important executive order was issued, aimed at improving the cybersecurity posture within the US government by requiring all federal agencies to adopt MFA systems. Regulations and standards like these will continue to spread over more industries and transaction types.

Data provenance is a method of creating a documented trail that accounts for data’s origin, creation, movement, and dissemination. It involves storing the ownership and process history of data objects to answer questions like, “When was data created?”, “Who created the data?” and “Why was it created? Data Provenance is vital in establishing data lineage, which is essential for validating, debugging, auditing, and evaluating data quality and determining data reliability.

Ably’s LiveSync product is now available as a public alpha release. LiveSync allows you to automatically keep data in sync across servers and clients, in realtime. This is a hard distributed systems problem. In this post, we’re going to have a look at four existing solutions to realtime data synchronization, the different technical designs, and the tradeoffs they make.

Discover Rippling's CI/CD journey with Bitrise, as shared by Staff Software Engineer Siddhant Soni. This post dives into the technical challenges and solutions that have shaped their scalable mobile infrastructure.

Hybrid cloud plays a central role in many of today’s emerging innovations—most notably artificial intelligence (AI) and other emerging technologies that create new business value and improve operational efficiencies. But getting there requires data, and a lot of it. More than that, though, harnessing the potential of these technologies requires quality data—without it, the output from an AI implementation can end up inefficient or wholly inaccurate.
