Backpressure in AI streaming: change how tokens move, keep each response one message

Oct 21, 2026 By Madeleine Quinn In Ably
Backpressure in AI streaming can build anywhere from inference to the client, but delivery is where handling it can change the response itself. The three usual approaches there (buffering, batching, and rewriting a stored record) can change how the response is stored, or what storing it costs. Anyone who joins mid-answer then gets fragments to stitch together, or your database pays for a full write at every flush.

Real Estate Data Integration: How Property Managers Can Connect PMS, ERP, CRM, and Other Systems

Oct 21, 2026 By Oleksandr Bryk In ORIL
A tenant gives notice. The property management system (PMS) records the lease change, but the website may continue to show the unit as unavailable until its next update. Maintenance may receive the turnover request by email, while finance adjusts the ledger during month-end reconciliation. These gaps can reflect missing connections, delayed synchronization, or differences in how systems process and interpret updates.

RSpec Tests in Ruby on Rails: Every Spec Type Explained (2026)

Oct 20, 2026 By Thomas Riboulet In AppSignal
RSpec is the most widely used testing framework for Ruby on Rails. With the rspec-rails gem (v8.x, supporting Rails 7.2–8.x), you write model specs for business logic, request specs for controllers and APIs, and system specs for browser flows — plus mailer and job specs. Run the suite with bundle exec rspec. In the first part of this series, we looked at the basics of RSpec and how well it works with Behavior Driven Development in Ruby.

Resumable token streaming: why AI streams break on reconnect

Oct 20, 2026 By Faye McClenahan In Ably
Refresh the page, lose signal, switch tabs. Users expect the AI conversation to still be there when they return, with the answer picking up where it left off. Resumable token streaming makes that possible: a returning client catches up with the in-progress response instead of starting over. Making a stream resumable is an architecture decision. Starting generation, storing the response, and delivering it need to happen in separate parts of your stack.

Structured Logging: A Complete Guide with Examples

Oct 20, 2026 By Aleix Ventayol In Bugfender
Plain-text logs are great if you want a simple explanation of how a function is performing or why a crash happened. But as your application grows, they become difficult to search and analyze.

This guide will give you the springboard to build structured logs effectively, showing you how to.

Performance Considerations with Offset and Cursor Pagination in Plain PHP and Doctrine ORM

Oct 20, 2026 By Benjamin Founder & CEO In Tideways
Displaying a list of items from the database is probably the most common functionality built for web applications. This is where pagination with LIMIT clause comes into play, which is most likely what you learned to use. This pattern is called offset pagination. In this post I am going to contrast it with cursor pagination and the performance considerations that come with the choice of pagination algorithm. Examples are with Plain PHP and Doctrine ORM 3.7, which ships a new CursorPaginator class.

What a room of engineers asked me about realtime resilience

Oct 20, 2026 By Matt Hammond In Ably
I spoke about Ably's approach to resilience at the AWS Cloud Resilience Roadshow in Dublin on 22 September 2026, and the questions afterwards covered CDNs, regional failover, outages, message ordering, and capacity. They got me reflecting on which parts of our approach are common across the industry, which are less so, and how choices made early, well before my time at Ably, have put us in a strong position today.
