API regression testing re-runs your API tests after every code change so existing endpoints keep returning what clients expect. A solid setup checks response shapes, auth, and latency, mocks external dependencies, and runs a fast suite on each pull request with the full suite nightly. Keploy, an open-source tool, generates that suite and its dependency mocks from real API traffic, so teams get regression coverage without writing scripts.

How much does it actually cost to self-host over-the-air (OTA) updates? Especially for an app with many millions of users. It’s a useful number to know if you’ve got a growing Expo Updates bill. This article prices an extreme case of 100 million monthly active users (MAU). Here is the monthly cost of hosting Codemagic Patch on DigitalOcean at a few sizes: You can host Patch on any Linux compatible machine, such as an EC2 on AWS or a machine on Fly.io.

A real estate product can look simple on a roadmap: search properties, analyze rents, manage listings, track deals, or automate a manual process. The complexity usually appears underneath, in the data, integrations, user roles, and workflows that make the feature usable. That is why a real estate MVP is not simply the smallest set of features. It is the smallest production-capable product that can test a defined hypothesis using the data and workflow the real product depends on.

Here is a situation most backend teams have lived through. A developer changes how the user service formats dates. It is a tiny change: one line, a cleaner ISO format, every unit test still green. The pull request gets approved in five minutes. Two days later, the billing service starts failing to generate invoices, because it was still expecting the old date format from the user service. Two kinds of testing could have caught that, and they are the subject of this post.

‍An omnichannel banking experience connects digital and physical interactions through shared customer information and workflows. It preserves application progress, service history, and relevant context as customers switch banking channels. For financial institutions, this continuity helps address fragmented service delivery and disconnected sales processes. Customers can progress between mobile applications, contact centers, and branches without restarting completed steps.

Businesses have long used APIs to connect their software applications and exchange data. These connections power many of the tools companies rely on for reporting, allowing them to bring information from different systems into one place and keep their reports up to date. Now, AI assistants like ChatGPT and Claude can connect to those same business applications through MCP (Model Context Protocol), making it easier to access information and perform tasks using natural language.

Open pipeline drops when deals leave it (closed won, closed lost or pushed out of the period) or when fewer new deals come in. Your CRM dashboard shows which of those happened. The reason behind it sits in HubSpot, in the notes, emails and call logs on the deals themselves. To find it in one question, ask an AI analyst that can read both. With the HubSpot MCP connector, Genie, the Databox AI Analyst, traces the drop to the deals behind it and tells you what the reps wrote about them.
