React Hooks now part of Ably's JavaScript SDK

React is one of the most popular JavaScript libraries in the world, and is known for its performance, scalability, and flexibility. Whether it’s single-page apps, high fidelity frontends, or even in some cases static sites, there's a high chance React is being used to build them. Today, we are pleased to announce that we have now baked in support for React Hooks within our Ably JavaScript SDK.

How to Use SFTP to Securely Transfer Files

Transferring files securely between machines is a fundamental part of the ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process, which involves extracting data from one source, transforming it for analysis, and loading it into a data warehouse. The challenge? Ensuring these files are both sent and received without interception by malicious entities. For years, FTP (File Transfer Protocol) served as the go-to method to transfer files between a client and server on a network.

Driving Data Discovery and Reliability for Better Business Decision Making

Enterprises are drowning in data. Structured, semi-structured or unstructured data for the modern, data-driven enterprise is everything, everywhere, all at once. But that’s also a challenge for enterprises looking to transform their data into usable information for business success. The sheer volume of data is challenging the ability of enterprises to find trustworthy, reliable data to drive their business decisions. Traditional data catalogs offer only structured data discovery.

How to Increase Data Processing: Combining SFTP and Heroku

Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), at its core, is a protocol designed to provide secure file transfer capabilities. With an extensive application in web development and IT infrastructures, its primary use case revolves around the encrypted transfer of files between remote servers and local machines.

The API Gateway and the Future of Cloud Native Applications

The rapid growth of cloud native applications that are smaller, more distributed, and designed for highly dynamic environments has turned API gateways into indispensable intermediaries for driving digital initiatives. At the same time, the emergence of the Kubernetes Gateway API, with support from the Envoy Gateway project, is driving a shift towards standardization and interoperability.

Kubernetes Sidecar Container - Best Practices and Examples

An open-source container management engine called Kubernetes is used to automatically launch, scale, and handle containerized apps. The fundamental unit of a Kubernetes program is a pod. Instead of managing containers, Kubernetes controls pods, and pods enclose containers. A number of containers, storage, IP addresses, and settings that control how containers should operate inside the pod can all be found in a pod. You can operate two closely linked containers together with sidecar containers.

6 Best Node.js Logging Libraries

You can find the issue by reading the stack trace after a program fails. A stack trace, however, only reveals the status of the application at the time of failure and not before the error was met. Logging packages can help with this. They provide specifics about the behavior of the program before the failure and transmit them to the location you specify, such as a file or a monitoring tool. Node.js has access to a wide variety of logging tools, but not all of them are made equal.
