How to use GenAI for database query optimization and natural language analysis

In the past, querying a database required Structured Query Language (SQL) skills, or knowledge of other database query languages, such as Kibana Query Language (KQL). Today, with the emergence of generative AI (GenAI), teams can query their analytic database using natural language — and get plain English results in return. Or, if you prefer to still use SQL, many teams use GenAI for database query optimization, making queries faster and more efficient.

Integrating iOS Push Notifications Using Swift

Push notifications play a vital role in user engagement and retention, keeping users up to date and creating a sense of FOMO that leads to purchases. And in iOS, we get the added benefit of Apple’s Push Notification Service (APNs). which acts as a middleman between the app server and the user’s device, facilitating the delivery of push notifications even if the app is not active or the user is checking another of their apps.

iOS In-App Purchases: A Comprehensive Guide for Swift Developers

iOS in-app purchases, or IAPs, allow developers to offer content, services, and features within their iOS apps for users to purchase. This can provide a significant revenue stream for developers, while enabling users to enhance their experience or access premium content and services. An iOS in app purchase can be a good alternative to paid applications, as an iO app developer can offer the app for free and monetize it via app purchasing options.

Understanding Android In-App Purchases: A Developers' Guide

In-app purchases, or IAPs, allow users to access certain features within our apps beyond the basic free tiers, while enabling us to monetize our products. Via the Google Play Store, we can sell a single product in all currencies, without creating a new one for each country. Up until now, app-builders looking to revenue have tended to favor in-app ads (IAAs) over IAPs, because ad functionality is easier to implement.

Exploring Swift Extensions: Strategies for Efficient iOS Code

If you’ve done any work on iOS apps these last few years, you’ll know how concise and expressive the Swift language can be. And you may well have benefited from Swift extensions, a powerful mechanism that lets you, the developer, extend both your functionality and Swift’s, by extending any Objects and Structures you need. However, the variety and versatility of extensions does present teething challenges.

The iOS Developer's Playbook: Mastering SwiftUI Forms

In this article we’re going to examine how a SwiftUI Form can used in our SwiftUI apps. This will be a very technical article useful for any iOS developer, during which we’ll take a deep-dive into the code and then create a SwiftUI Form that combines a user profile with a settings screen.

Understand Microfrontends: A Guide for Developers and CTOs

Microservices architecture has gained significant traction due to its ability to break down monolithic applications into smaller, independently deployable services. However, the benefits have often been lop-sided. While backend developers have realized numerous advantages, frontend adoption has been held back by tight coupling, slow development cycles and scalability issues. Microfrontends have emerged as a solution to these challenges by applying microservices principles to the frontend.
