SwiftData Tutorial: Swift Data Storage for iOS Apps

Since its debut in June 2023, SwiftData has fundamentally changed how Apple developers approach persistence. Devs the world over love it for its versatility, its declarative ease and its powerful querying system. But if you’re new, SwiftData can take some getting used to. Failures can feel less transparent and relationships can play out differently to how you might expect. So in this tutorial we’ll show you how SwiftData works and how to.

Building an API Gateway with Koa and AppSignal

In an API-driven setup, a gateway often sits between clients and backend services: it can validate input, aggregate upstream responses, and give you one place to observe traffic. Koa is a strong fit for that role. Its core stays small, async/await is first-class, and middleware composes in a predictable stack. In this article, you will build a compact API gateway with Koa that: You will also wire up AppSignal for the Node.js stack.

7 Challenges Delivering Secure Aerospace Software in the Age of AI (with Solutions)

The challenge of any aerospace company is to deliver new capabilities without compromising safety, reliability, or precision. At our current juncture, legacy technology runs into conflict with modern tool stacks. Artificial intelligence (AI) creates fissures in compliance and auditability, and innovation and productivity gains come at a cost of greater complexity. Despite these seismic shifts, the central question remains the same.

Test-Commit-Revert: A useful workflow for testing legacy code in Ruby

It happens to all of us. As software projects grow, parts of the production code we ship end up without a comprehensive test suite. When you take another look at the same area of code after a few months, it may be difficult to understand; even worse, there might be a bug, and we don't know where to begin fixing it. Modifying production code without tests is a major challenge.

Build vs Buy Real Estate Software: How to Make the Right Call

Choosing between building and buying real estate software isn’t just a technical decision—it shapes how fast you move, how much control you keep, and how far your product can scale. Whether you’re launching a PropTech startup or modernizing an existing real estate platform, the wrong choice can lock you into costly limitations, while the right one can become a competitive advantage.

How to Optimize iOS Push Notifications in Production

Push notifications are one of the most powerful retention tools in mobile. iOS opt-in rates average 40–45%, and apps that use push effectively can triple their long-term retention. However poorly timed, poorly crafted alerts can drain our open rates, leading to opt-outs and disengagement. When designing iOS push notifications, we need to think about engagement and retention, not just impressions.

What is an MCP Registry? The Centralized Directory for AI Agents

A guide to learning how MCP registries help govern AI agent-to-tool connectivity AI agents are only as capable as the tools they can reach. When an agent needs to query a database, file a support ticket, or pull data from a CRM, it has to find the right tool, authenticate, and invoke it — all at runtime. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) standardizes how agents communicate with these tools. But MCP alone does not answer a fundamental question: how does the agent know which tools exist?

How to set up Billing for AI Agents with LangChain and Kong in 15 Minutes | Monetize AI Agents

Want to bill customers for the AI tokens they actually use? This video shows you how to set up a LangChain app that meters LLM token usage and streams it to Kong Konnect Metering & Billing as CloudEvents — turning every prompt and response into invoiced usage, automatically.

Custom Fleet Management Software Development | 2026 Market & Opportunity

Roughly 35 million commercial vehicles are operating across the world's top logistics markets today. Every one of them is burning fuel, accumulating wear, and navigating roads that are more congested, more regulated, and more expensive to operate on than ever before. The numbers behind inefficiency are staggering. According to the Department of Energy and the Argonne National Laboratory, 6 billion gallons of gasoline are wasted by idling alone every single year.
