In today’s post, we will be covering the Elixir library named Broadway. This library is maintained by the kind folks at Plataformatec and allows us to create highly concurrent data processing pipelines with relative ease. After an overview of how Broadway works and when to use it, we’ll dive into a sample project where we’ll leverage Broadway to fetch temperature data from https://openweathermap.org/ in order to find the coldest city on earth.
Building and deploying PHP applications on one server is a, relatively, straightforward process. However, what about deploying a PHP application across multiple servers? In this article, I'm going to discuss four key considerations to bear in mind when deploying PHP applications when doing so.
In this post, we’ll explore how to create Ruby modules that are configurable by users of our code — a pattern that allows gem authors to add more flexibility to their libraries. Most Ruby developers are familiar with using modules to share behavior. After all, this is one of their main use cases, according to the documentation.
In this post we’re going to talk about how to integrate Intercom into your mobile apps. The company offers both iOS and Android SDKs and you’ve probably used them before in your different products (we certainly use them in Bugfender).
Hello again! Welcome to the finalé of a two-part series of posts on errors in JavaScript. Last time, we took a look into the history of errors in JavaScript — how JavaScript shipped without runtime exceptions, how error handling mechanisms were later added both to the fledgeling web browsers of the day and to the ECMAScript spec, and how they future efforts to standardise these features would be connected to the politics of the browser wars of the late 90’s and 2000’s.
When you start a new project, everything is very easy and agile. You can develop, commit code and publish new versions quickly, without much testing. You probably don’t have a QA team, your test data is similar to your production data and you don’t develop multiple features at the same time. But as the project grows, it starts to become more and more complex.
In this post, you’ll learn how to use ETS as a caching mechanism in your Elixir applications, get familiar with different available options, and be made aware of some things to keep in mind.
Out of the proverbial, box, PHP provides decent performance. However, there are several things that we, as PHP developers and systems administrators, can do to increase its performance even further; sometimes for almost no effort. In this post, I'm going to step through five of those ways. By the time you're finished reading, you should see at least a notable increase in the performance of your PHP application. Let's begin.
