WebSockets vs HTTP for AI applications: which to choose in 2026

Feb 15, 2026 By Faye McClenahan In Ably
When building AI experiences, choosing between WebSockets and HTTP isn't always straightforward. Which protocol is better for streaming LLM responses? How do you maintain continuity when users switch devices mid-conversation? Should you use both? The answer depends on the type of AI experience you're building. Modern AI applications often require both protocols, each serving different purposes. The key question is: how do you decide which communication pattern fits each scenario in your AI stack?

Reimagining Centralised API Management with Gateway Federation

Reimagining Centralised API Management with Gateway Federation

Feb 13, 2026 By Dakshitha Ratnayake, Director of Developer Relations In WSO2
In today's digital-first economy, APIs are the backbone of modern applications and securing them is essential. They enable innovation, accelerate time-to-market, and drive seamless integration across platforms. Yet, as organisations scale, the complexity of managing APIs across diverse environments such as cloud, on-premises, and hybrid becomes a formidable challenge. Enter API Gateway Federation: a transformative approach to centralised API management that balances control with flexibility.

AI Data Gateways & Data Governance: Scaling Trustworthy LLM Agents

Feb 13, 2026 By Terence Bennett In DreamFactory
As AI agents move from prototype to production, organizations face a growing paradox: how to give these agents enough access to unlock business value—without compromising privacy, compliance, or control. This isn’t just an integration problem. As soon as you map API layers or ask how a generative agent might retrieve sensitive customer records, the challenge becomes one of governance, scale, and trust.

Edit and delete messages without rewriting your history layer

Feb 13, 2026 By Faye McClenahan In Ably
Editing or removing a message after it’s been published sounds simple. In realtime systems, it usually isn’t. Once a message has been delivered to multiple clients, cached locally, and written into history, changing it safely becomes a coordination problem. Clients need to agree on what’s current. History needs to stay consistent. Reconnects and refreshes can’t bring back stale content. That’s why many systems treat messages as immutable by default.

Navigating Spring Dependencies (Spring Boot and Framework)

Feb 12, 2026 By Perforce In Perforce
Navigating Spring dependencies can be challenging. As many Java developers know all too well, the biggest risk in maintaining legacy Spring applications isn’t in the code you wrote — it’s in the web of dependencies you inherited. Hidden deep in your build files, these libraries can make or break your application’s ability to stay secure and up to date. In this video, OpenLogic experts explain how transitive dependencies in older versions of Spring Boot and Spring Framework can negatively impact your application's stability and security.

See exactly why your Gradle Build Cache missed: new Task Inputs visibility feature

Feb 12, 2026 By Zsolt Márta In Bitrise
Every Android developer has been there: yesterday's build finished in 2 minutes, but today's identical build takes 8 minutes. You check your code - nothing major changed. You check your environment - everything looks the same. So why the massive difference? Without visibility into what actually changed between builds, debugging performance issues becomes guesswork. You're left wondering: Which tasks didn't come from cache? What inputs changed? Why did this specific compilation task take so long?

Is Node.js Single-Threaded... or Not?

Feb 12, 2026 By Estefany Aguilar In NodeSource
You’ve probably heard: “Node.js is single-threaded.” That statement is only partially correct. The JavaScript engine (V8) is single-threaded. Node.js as a runtime is not. Under the hood, Node.js uses multiple threads — through libuv and the operating system — to handle I/O and computationally expensive work. So the real question isn’t whether Node.js is single-threaded. It’s.
