Rails 7 is just around the corner. We don't have a confirmed release date, but it is expected to be available before Christmas, so not very long to go. The latest version as of this post's publication is 7.0.0.rc1, the first release candidate. Basecamp, HEY, Github, and Shopify have all been running the Rails 7 alpha in production, so we can expect even the release candidate to be pretty stable. In this post, we will look at some of the new features and changes that Rails 7 will bring.

In this article, we will talk about continuous integration and continuous delivery for Flutter apps and compare features in GitHub Actions and Bitrise.

Node.js is a free, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment, while single-threaded in nature, executes asynchronous code using several threads in the background. Because of its design, Node.js has received a lot of flak. It seems unusual that Node.js doesn't have direct access to threads when compared to programming languages like Java, C, or Python. The worker_thread module in Node.js 11 allows us to launch many threads on a single core.

Every project should start with a plan – especially a project as large as semiconductor design, where the project costs (and the costs of failure) are extremely high. To efficiently and accurately account for the needs of a project, and to help determine the feasibility of project before getting too deep, a planning BoM can make all the difference.

Ably is a platform for pub/sub messaging. Publishes are done on named channels, and clients subscribed to a given channel have all messages on that channel delivered to them. The Ably pub/sub backend is multi-region: we run the production cluster in 7 AWS regions, and channel pub/sub operates seamlessly between them.
