The process of building, code signing, and publishing mobile apps can be tedious and time-consuming, especially when working in a large team and also needing to share builds with QA engineers. That’s why Codemagic offers a cloud-based CI/CD service for mobile apps that automates the whole workflow with minimal time-effort on configuration. But what if you want to use Codemagic’s features locally or in another CI/CD environment, such as GitHub Actions?

Automating a process can be complex, especially when it’s a long-running process with many steps and complex business rules, cross-cutting multiple departments and systems in an enterprise. To automate a process like this from end to end, you’ll need a process automation strategy and software. Assuming you’ve ticked both of those boxes, the next step is putting those things to work, which is the focus of this post.

As organizations continue to migrate to the cloud and search for ways to reduce costs, Perforce has released Helix Core 2023.2 – giving users the ability to connect their archive depots to S3-backed (or S3-compatible) cloud object storage. S3 storage support offers users a durable and convenient solution that grows automatically and indefinitely. In the following article I explain S3 storage, diving into the benefits of using S3 storage, and how to get started using S3 Storage within Helix Core.

Earlier this year at Snowflake Summit, we announced the public launch of the Snowflake Performance Index (SPI), an aggregate index for measuring real-world improvements in Snowflake performance experienced by customers over time. In this post, we provide our biannual update to showcase the latest improvements.

For years, we've witnessed how applications have shifted to the cloud, driven by cost savings, flexibility, on-demand access, scalability, and faster deployment times. During that time, new architectural best practices for building cloud native applications have emerged. (For more insights, refer to this whitepaper.) Yet despite these advances, it remains difficult to build cloud native applications that fully take advantage of Kubernetes, the platform of choice for most cloud deployments.

In the face of Canada’s housing crisis, the University of British Columbia’s Housing Assessment Resource Tools (HART) set out to make government census data more accessible. By developing more intuitive tools and offering valuable resources, HART plays a key role in providing essential information for governments, housing developers, and the public to make informed, data-driven decisions.

In our last post, we looked at the basics of RSpec and explored how well it works with Behavior Driven Development in Ruby. Now, we will look at specific types of RSpec tests for different parts of a Ruby on Rails application. Let's dive straight in!

How enterprise-grade data management creates better and more efficient care. In the last few years, the acceptance of telehealth has become more widespread as patients and providers found they could maintain continuity through phone and video collaboration, instead of in-person visits. In many cases, a level of care that once required a drive to the clinic or hospital could be delivered over a mobile phone or laptop, with no travel and no waiting room.
