Scaling REST APIs for databases with heavy traffic requires careful planning to ensure fast, reliable performance. Here’s the gist: -Stateless Design: APIs should process requests independently, enabling horizontal scaling and efficient load balancing. -Caching: Use client-side, server-side, and CDN caching to reduce database strain and improve response times. -Optimized Queries: Fine-tune database queries, use indexes, and implement pagination to handle large datasets effectively.

Most companies talk about being “AI-first.” At Ably, we decided to actually become one. We build realtime infrastructure for AI applications. To do that credibly, we need to live and breathe AI ourselves – not just in our product, but in how we work every day. Two years ago, we began a company-wide push for AI adoption.

Let’s be real for a moment. Modern engineering teams run so many automated test cases every day across CI/CD pipelines. Still, without the right visibility, those results are just noisy logs sitting inside Jenkins or GitHub Actions. This is exactly why test reporting tools have become a critical part of every serious QA, DevOps, and automation workflow.

Digital wallets started as simple payment tools. Today, they do much more. They support P2P payments, merchant transactions, loyalty programs, identity services, transit use cases and embedded financial services. Reports from McKinsey, Deloitte and Worldpay show strong growth in digital wallet usage. Wallets now power a large share of global e-commerce and POS transactions. Adoption is rising in both developed and emerging markets. Many organisations can launch a wallet fast. Scaling it is harder.

Bridge the disconnect between design and development. The new Figma plugin for Sauce Visual automates baseline creation, enables shift-left testing, and guarantees visual consistency with your approved Figma designs.

Companies used to be human institutions supported by digital tools. They are becoming computational systems supported by humans.

In today’s data-driven world, seamless data integration is crucial to ensuring the smooth operation of modern systems. With the growing complexity of distributed data platforms, businesses and developers are seeking efficient ways to move, process, and transform data. Apache Kafka has become the de facto standard for real-time data streaming, and Kafka Connect plays a key role in facilitating the integration of Kafka with various data sources and sinks.

Enterprises have invested decades of development effort into SQL Server stored procedures. These procedures contain critical business logic—validation rules, complex calculations, transaction handling, reporting queries—that applications need to access. But stored procedures weren't designed for modern API-driven architectures.

When you’re building realtime systems, blind spots slow you down. The new dashboard gives developers self-serve visibility into everything happening inside their apps, from high-level usage to individual connections, channels and messages. No setup. No external tools. Just open your browser and observe your data in motion.
