7 Factors for a Successful Deployment

Deploying a successful technology solution, especially in data management, takes more than just installing software and writing a job (or multiple jobs… thousands in some cases), and running those jobs.

How to Architect, Engineer and Manage Performance (Part 1)

This is the first of a series of blogs on how to architect, engineer and manage performance.

Like the rest of the development world, we’ve come to rely on this cross-platform framework to build killer apps across Android, iOS and web. But that’s not why we’ve built our plug-in. No, it’s because our users were building their own versions!
