Memory leaks can happen in any language, including PHP. These memory leaks may happen in small increments that take time to accumulate, or in larger jumps that manifest quickly. Either way, if your app has a memory leak, sooner or later it will cause problems. The source of and solution to PHP memory leaks aren’t always obvious, so you may need to try a few strategies before you eliminate the problem.
These days, all around the world, mobile development is mostly performed by fully remote teams. Under these challenging circumstances, maintaining a culture of collaboration and shared responsibility can easily become overwhelming.

It feels like only yesterday that we announced Lenses 3.1. The release was focused around helping developers be more productive when developing real-time data applications. Since then, our customers are onboarding new applications and new users onto their data platform at a faster rate than ever. And with more apps and users come stricter and tougher requirements for compliance and governance.
Ruby may be over 25 years old, but it remains popular in the software community for its focus on programmer happiness. Building software with Ruby often involves leveraging one or more popular frameworks for the purpose of increasing productivity by relying on existing solutions to common problems. Ruby frameworks generally fall into two categories: web-facing frameworks and background job frameworks.
Today, May 21st, we received an interesting email from a journalist writing for Fast Company. Apparently, a privacy-focused company audited the app Care19, North Dakota’s COVID-19 contact tracking app, and they found that an anonymous tracking ID generated by the app was sent via API to Bugfender along with other identifiers. While the journalist contacted the app developers, he also gave us the opportunity to comment.

The internet has become an integral part of our lives. Be it work or daily chores, we can’t imagine getting through the day without it. As our reliance on internet increases day by day, a majority of applications we’re switching to have web-based interfaces. The growing popularity of smartphones and portable devices has fueled this tech revolution. Most applications that have web-based interfaces are hosted on the cloud these days.
I just finished renovating the Rookout Breakpoint Editor area. It's the place within the Rookout app that lets you set a breakpoint condition, hit limit, time limit, variable collection depth, and other settings.
Whoever first said that "the fastest code is no code" must have really liked memoization. After all, memoization speeds up your application by running less code. In this article, Jonathan Miles introduces us to memoization. We'll learn when to use it, how to implement it in Ruby, and how to avoid common pitfalls. Buckle up!
We’re excited to announce the second episode of our podcast, Mobile DevOps is a thing! This episode focuses on different aspects of remote work, Mobile DevOps, and how to remain productive from home, featuring special guest: Joe Birch.
At Stackify, we’re all about helping you improve your application’s performance. We have actually developed two code profilers ourselves. Because of that, we like to think we know a thing or two about code profiling. Today I want to talk about the three different types of code profilers, describe the differences between them, and recommend some tools for your toolbox.
In today’s post, we’ll learn about Mnesia, see when you would use such a tool, and take a look at some of the pros and cons of using it. After covering the fundamentals of Mnesia, we’ll dive right into a sample application where we’ll build an Elixir application that uses Mnesia as its database. Let’s jump right in!
Development can successfully remove the bottlenecks created by waterfall methodology by improving development productivity through encouraging collaboration,continuous feedback loops, and automating processes. Collaboration. Feedback. Automation. These are the main building blocks of Development operations. However, not all Development implementations are successful. Why? Building blocks are not enough. You need to take these building blocks and design a Development pipeline that suits your needs.
Welcome back to another Community Roundup, folks. Hope you're all doing well, and that you're ready for some great tweets and articles — let's get started, shall we?
We’re excited to announce our support for GitHub Actions with our new Rollbar Deploy GitHub Action. Teams using GitHub Actions for building their CI/CD pipeline can now easily send deploy information to Rollbar and respond to any new errors quickly.
In today’s post, we’re going to demystify how the number of JavaScript dependencies grows while we’re working on a relatively simple project. Should you be worried about the number of dependencies? Keep in mind that this blog post is related to the Ride Down The JavaScript Dependency Hell blog post that was released a while back. We’ll show a “real-world” example of how a project’s dependencies can grow from zero to 13K.
Today’s release of Node.js integration supports PostgreSQL as well as all the consumers of the pg library.
You know the saying, “by developers, for developers”? Well, at Rookout, we take that quite literally. Developers are the heart and soul of Rookout. As developers ourselves, especially as ones who have had our heads stuck in code for many years, we look to make fellow developers’ lives easier. There are countless tools that are available to developers. Whether they enable easier workflows, improve quality, aid in collaboration, and so on and so forth - the sky's the limit.

Running software uses computer memory for data structures and executable operations. How this memory is accessed and managed depends on the operating system and the programming language. Many modern programming languages manage memory for you, and Ruby is no different. Ruby manages memory usage using a garbage collector (also called gc). In this post, we’ll examine what you, a Ruby developer, need to know about Ruby’s gc. Use the links below to skip ahead in the tutorial.
As the world is adapting to new and unforeseen circumstances, many of the traditional ways of doing things are no longer. One significant effect of this is that the world has gone almost completely virtual. Whether it’s Zoom happy hours and family catch ups or virtual conferences, what used to be in-person has digitized.
Memory leaks are something every developer has to eventually face. They are common in most languages, even if the language automatically manages memory for you. Memory leaks can result in problems such as application slowdowns, crashes, high latency, and so on. In this blog post, we will look at what memory leaks are and how you can avoid them in your NodeJS application. Though this is more focused on NodeJS, it should generally apply to JavaScript and TypeScript as well.
Today, we're kicking off a study on the impact of COVID-19 on mobile development, -developers and the companies that employ them. Participate in the survey here, and we'll share our findings with you in a few weeks. Read on to find out exactly what we're planning.
UI testing can be an incredibly useful tool for verifying that an app’s key features and user interactions remain fully functional while quickly iterating on its code base.

Welcome back to another one of our Community Roundups, folks. This time is a little different, since we’re doing one for April altogether — but on the flip-side, we've got quite a number of articles for you. Let’s get started!
PHP is a server-side scripting language for creating your website’s backend system that can serve webpages, communicate with databases, and exchange data over the internet. A decent backend framework like PHP needs to be capable of providing and processing data in any format (e.g., XML, JSON, etc.) to be socially accepted in a society of skilled web development frameworks.
