Make an IoT wearable t-shirt that sparkles with data using MQTT and Ably

Make an internet connected t-shirt with LEDs that respond to realtime data In summary: We will make a wearable, flexible LED array which will change colour in realtime as users draw on an app. It uses the Ably MQTT broker and the Ably Javascript SDK along with addressible RGB LEDs and an Adafruit wifi enabled microprocessor. We change the colour of individual LEDs sewn on the t-shirt, by sending realtime updates data with Ably's messaging platform to an Arduino via MQTT.

Service Mesh Connectivity With Kong Mesh

Kong Mesh is a service mesh that is based on Kuma, an open-source, CNCF project and supports every environment, including Kubernetes and virtual machines. In this service mesh demo, we will show you how easy it is to get started (in Kubernetes) – how to install a control plane, deploy a demo application, enable basic traffic policies, and briefly touch on observability.

API Infrastructure: ESB versus API Gateway (Part 2)

In our last blog, we discussed the connectivity solution – Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) which was a preferred method for connecting monolithic applications. In this blog, we will discuss the role of an API gateway in today’s modern distributed world. We’ll also compare ESBs with API gateways and discuss how these connectivity solutions can co-exist to support both legacy and modern applications.

How to create a structured exploratory testing strategy

If you want your QA to go above and beyond basic expectations, structured exploratory testing is the secret weapon to elite functionality and good UX. When testing web and mobile apps, executing functional, regression-based scripted test cases is the minimum standard for ensuring that your software performs as expected. However, scripted functional testing can only validate if the system works as intended and can easily miss edge cases you wouldn’t even think to test.
