In the past, when building Livewire components for our Laravel applications, we needed to keep our backend and frontend code split up into separate files. This can sometimes get a little confusing, especially with larger projects. But with Volt, we can now build single-file Livewire components where the backend and frontend code coexist in the same file. In this article, we'll look at what Volt is and how Volt components differ from traditional Livewire components.

As a Node.js developer, you probably already know that testing code and maintaining its quality are essential aspects of software development, arguably just as important as writing code in the first place. Good tests raise confidence that changes won't cause problems, and the time invested eventually helps you ship faster.

Whether or not you're active in the Rails ecosystem, you might already have heard some of the buzz around Solid Queue, a new database-backed backend for ActiveJob. Solid Queue is a simple and performant option for background jobs that lets you queue large amounts of data without maintaining extra dependencies like Redis. We've already talked about how to deploy, run, and monitor Solid Queue, but we haven't yet explored how Solid Queue works.

One of the benefits of Ruby's developer-friendly syntax is that it's straightforward to quickly build scripts to automate tasks. Web scraping with Ruby is fun, useful, and straightforward. In this article, we'll explore using HTTParty to pull a web page and check it for a given string. To be specific, we'll build a cron job in Ruby to check if a product is in stock on a website!

Reddit is a news aggregation, communication, and discussion application. If you want to get more information about a particular topic or have a question, Reddit is the place to be. The data on Reddit are provided to the public through both the website and its API. Learning how to use the Reddit API is beneficial if you want to integrate Reddit communications into your application or if you just want to use certain data on Reddit.

In JavaScript, errors are only detected during runtime. Therefore, it is impossible to get compile-time errors when building JavaScript applications. There are several reasons an app might encounter a JavaScript exception: invalid input, server error, syntax errors, or errors in the application logic. In this article, we will dig into exception handling in JavaScript so that when your app encounters errors, it affects users as little as possible.

Laravel is the most popular PHP framework for building web applications and is loved for its elegance, simplicity, and scalability. However, like any other framework for web development, Laravel can experience performance issues if it’s not optimized for high performance. Laravel performance problems aren't usually due to the framework itself, but rather some suboptimal choices in the application.

When building web applications, it's handy to break down a feature's complex processes into smaller, more manageable pieces, whether by using separate functions or classes. Doing this helps to keep the code clean, maintainable, and testable. An approach you can take to split out these smaller steps in your Laravel application is to use Laravel pipelines. Pipelines allow you to send data through multiple layers of logic before returning a result.

In the web development world, speed and performance are must-haves. Whether you're building a static website, software-as-a-service (SaaS), or bespoke web software, it's important that everything loads quickly to keep your users happy. One of the most common ways to optimize for speed in Laravel is caching. Caching refers to the practice of storing data inside a "cache" or high-speed storage layer.

Zero-instrumentation, 360 degree coverage of errors, outages and service degradation. Deploy with confidence and be your team's devops hero.
Monitoring — like web development — is complex. Every day we hear about new tools and techniques, but they're usually for big organizations. Ones with dedicated devops teams and so much traffic they care more about “error rates” than individual user experiences. When you're on a smaller team, this doesn't work so well. You know instrumentation doesn’t pay the bills. Customers do. When they encounter a problem you need clear actionable intelligence, not walls of charts and reams of logs.
What if there were a monitoring tool for developers like us? A single tool that could answer at a glance:
- Are any front-end or back-end systems raising errors?
- Is the site unreachable or unusually slow?
- Are scheduled tasks completing as expected?
- Which customers have been affected by errors today?
Honeybadger is used by tens of thousands of pragmatic developers in companies of all sizes who want to focus on shipping great, error-free products instead of wasting time building and maintaining a bespoke monitoring stack.
