Game development and virtual production studios use game engines to create the unbelievable. But with game engines— like Unreal Engine or Unity — project assets are stored as large binaries. To efficiently collaborate on and manage these assets, version control systems need to treat them differently than other file types. Most version control companies cannot manage these binary files.

When the global vaccine rollout began in December 2020, many organizations, public and private, projected a safe return to the office by late 2021. But with the rise in COVID-19 cases that resulted from the Delta and Omicron variants, millions of people put these plans on hold, pushed them back, or otherwise adjusted.

Low-code is becoming an increasingly common tool for developers. IDC predicts that the global population of low-code developers will grow at three times the rate of the general developer population over the next four years. For developers, low-code is the beginning of a new era in software development. Rather than replacing other methodologies, it’s a powerful tool to add to your app development toolkit. But what does low-code mean for professional developers?

API management has been around for over a decade. It is the process of designing, analyzing, documenting, and publishing APIs in a secure environment. A comprehensive API management solution can guarantee that the APIs you create are consumable and secure. However, how do you know if data mesh or API management is right for your business? The concept of data mesh was introduced a few years ago by Zhamak Dehghani on Martin Fowler’s bliki.

I struggled with two aspects of software development as a junior engineer: structuring large codebases and writing testable code. Test-driven development is such a common technique that is often taken for granted, but it's not always clear how code can be made fully testable. I remember reading examples where an author would cleanly unit test a function, and in principle, it made sense. But real code doesn't look like those examples.

Most applications need background jobs for mailers, regular clean-ups, or any other time-consuming operation that doesn't require a user to be present. Several gems support job queues and background processing in the Rails world — Delayed Job and Sidekiq being the two most popular ones. In this post, we will take a detailed look at Delayed Job and Sidekiq, including how they fare against each other. Let's go!
