The concept of insurance predates the printing press and the steam engine. So it's likely no surprise that the industry — as obviously adaptable as it is — often faces challenges related to the modernization of legacy systems. In the age of AI and APIs (application programming interfaces), streamlining operations and modernizing are paramount to success.

AWS Fargate is a serverless compute engine that allows you to run containers without managing servers. With Fargate, you no longer have to provision clusters of virtual machines to run ECS containers: this is all done for you. Fargate has an Amazon ECS construct that can host an API. In this take, we will build a Fargate service using the AWS CDK, put the API in a docker image, and then host it inside Amazon ECS. The API will be a pizza API and we'll store the data in a DynamoDB table.

It's hard to overstate the importance of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for all websites. Since the first CSS standards were published in late 1996, we have come quite far regarding features and ecosystems. Several frameworks have appeared and proved popular, one of the most recent being Tailwind CSS. In this post, we'll first examine Tailwind's utility-first approach before diving into how to use it in a Ruby on Rails application.

As organizations build more APIs, manual processes and frequent handoffs in the API development workflow can lead to a slower time to market, higher development costs, and poor-quality APIs. They can also result in APIs being poorly documented, causing poor API adoption and lower revenues. APIOps aims to address these issues by automating the entire API lifecycle, leveraging DevOps and GitOps principles. But what is DevOps, and what is GitOps?

Deal broadens FP&A offerings for insightsoftware, delivering more value and confidence in financial transactions and reporting.

In the ever-evolving world of sports and entertainment, fan engagement has emerged as a critical factor in driving retention and long-term success. At the Ably Realtime Fan Engagement Summit in New York City, industry experts shared valuable insights into the relationship between fan engagement and retention, emphasizing the importance of creating compelling digital experiences and fostering genuine connections.

It’s not a surprise that in today’s challenging economic landscape, rising costs pose a significant threat to the telecommunications industry. Consider that in 2022, Bain Capital was predicting that Telcos would grapple with increased personnel and escalating operating costs due to inflation. And here we are.

Ably was proud to celebrate our 8th birthday this year, and we’ve enjoyed reflecting on some of our achievements since launching in 2016. When we launched, we believed that realtime interactions would underpin our everyday digital experiences, rather than just augment them. And so we set out on a mission to build the definitive realtime experience platform.

After Twitter moved from Ruby to Scala in 2009, the story was born that Ruby on Rails can’t scale. The story goes that it lacks robustness, is a memory hog, and lacks the concurrency features you need to grow an application. This has been the prevailing wisdom for over a decade. And then along came Shopify, showing that, as Lutke says, Ruby on Rails is a framework that can process billions of events per day and evidently does scale. Ruby on Rails is an excellent candidate for scaling.
