It's a common belief that within the quality, cost, and speed triangle, only two elements can be optimized for. But is this true? I'll show you why quality is non-negotiable, and how Bitrise helps mobile teams get the balance right.

In obsessing over the best frameworks and coding practices for their PHP applications, developers often fail to look beyond their code for optimization and boosting performance. They often fail to realize the crucial role of the server setup, the PHP handlers, and the system environment in your application failing or succeeding out there. Apache server and web hosting manager (WHM) configurations can seem obscure at first, and it’s challenging to keep track of every config option.

Why do APIs require authentication in the first place? Users don't always need keys for read-only APIs. However, most commercial APIs require permission via API keys or other ways. Users might make an unlimited number of API calls without needing to register if your API had no security. Allowing limitless requests would make it impossible to develop a business structure for your API. Furthermore, without authentication, it would be difficult to link requests to individual user data.

Stitch is a popular cloud-based Extract, Load, Transform (ELT) tool. Stitch seamlessly moves data between databases, warehouses, data lakes, SaaS services, and other applications with no code required whatsoever, making it a valuable weapon for data integration. However, the platform has limited data transformation capabilities and, away from its free tier, charges users for the amount of data they use per month, which often works out to be more expensive than other pricing models in the ETL/ELT space.

Salesforce is a CRM, which stands for "customer relationship management," and it helps companies personalize their approach and services to better guide business decisions.

Consumption-based, aka usage-based, pricing is hardly new. Anyone with an electricity, gas, or water bill knows that the amount you pay each month varies depending on your usage. More recently, disruptive companies have pushed other industries (transportation, hospitality, communications, and insurance) to transform by providing usage-based products and services via software applications. As consumers, we see this all around us, when we hail an Uber or choose a short-term rental on AirBnB.

The goal of this getting started guide is to help teams get Jenkins continuous integration (CI) servers configured, and discover how to make a newly deployed CI infrastructure fully operational. Jenkins is a leading open source CI server. It is flexible, providing hundreds of plugins to support building, testing, and deployment, and is capable of automating any project. Jenkins CI infrastructure can be deployed to on-prem, in the cloud using configuration management tools, and third-party vendor.

When I began working at Qlik nearly seven years ago, it was fairly common for us to end our first meeting with a Federal agency with their team saying: “We need this.

Monitoring, troubleshooting, and debugging your code all require logging. It not only makes the underlying execution of your project more visible and understandable, but it also makes the approach more approachable. Intelligent logging procedures can assist everyone in a company or community to stay on the same page about the project's status and progress.

After migrating a Data Warehouse to Google Cloud BigQuery, ETL and Business Intelligence developers are often tasked with upgrading and enhancing data pipelines, reports and dashboards. Data teams who are familiar with SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) and SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) are able to continue to use these tools with BigQuery, allowing them to modernize ETL pipelines and BI platforms after an initial data migration is complete.
