Business Intelligence (BI) tools allow businesses to gather, process and analyse large amounts of data so that they are able to make decisions and see opportunities as well as visualise and report on key metrics for Stakeholders. The range of Business Intelligence tools available to use is an ever-expanding list with newcomers to the market appearing every year.

The way we write, ship, and maintain software today has evolved drastically in the last few years. How we consume underlying infrastructure to run our software has matured significantly, in that we have seen a transition from bare metal to virtual machines to containers to micro-VMs.

Kotlin Multiplatform apps are a great option for big projects. They allow us to unify the business logic under a Kotlin module while using the latest perks of each platform’s individual UI, significantly reducing development costs. Debugging in Kotlin Multiplatform is easy, as you can use typical tools like adding breakpoints and printing logs in the console – and in Bugfender. Continue reading for a full tutorial. KMM stands for Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile.

‍As most developers know, their code doesn’t always behave as they expect it to and they’re not quite sure why. This is most apparent when it comes to debugging their software. In order to figure out what the problem is, developer teams must go through a very long process in order to get the data they need to understand the problem. This can involve unnecessary wait times, unproductive hours, and a lot of wasted resources.

Web development before the age of web frameworks is difficult to imagine. Setting up a robust, dependable web app from scratch is a daunting task that requires years of knowledge and experience. Nowadays, however, with the help of effective, easy to use web frameworks, it doesn’t take more than a few minutes to get going.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a term for the ever growing number of internet connected devices that fall beyond the realm of your typical laptop, desktop computer or smartphone. Many of us already own and use IoT devices on a daily basis, these could be anything from "smart" versions of appliances like refrigerators, thermostats and coffee machines through to your expected IoT devices such as Amazon’s Alexa & Google’s home speakers.

The year 2015 was marked by a new paradigm shift in web development. Google introduced Progressive Web Applications and JavaScript libraries and frameworks, such as React.js, Angular.js or Vue.js, created new development methodologies. By 2020, the web environment is flooded with PWAs based on reactive programming and built with cutting-edge frameworks.

We are delighted to being invited again to Germany’s leading embedded software conference the ESE Kongress. We will be focusing on the MISRA language standard as commonly used in the automotive, avionics and wider safety critical space and educate about the importance of MISRA Compliance as defined in 2020. MISRA can be overwhelming for new projects and it is essential to understand the constraints as well as the freedoms regarding MISRA compliance.

When it comes to mobile shopping, speed and stability are crucial: most users will leave a site or an app that takes longer than three seconds to load, and the bounce rate increases even further with loading time.

Both containers and virtual machines are virtual environments that comprise a number of computing components and are independent in nature, thereby allowing developers to scale applications in isolated runtimes. Both of these concepts aim at providing independent sets of resources to individual computing environments to ensure quick and reliable application performance.

Modern developers are under ever increasing pressure to deliver software applications to the business in record time. This means shorter development cycles and a push to have code production ready as early as possible. In addition, many development teams no longer throw the code over the metaphorical wall to be handled by operations and production support teams, but rather oftentimes own the entire end to end delivery chain.

Garbage collection (GC) is a very important process for all programming languages, whether it’s done manually (in low-level languages like C), or automatically. The curious thing is that most of us barely stop to think about how JavaScript — which is a programming language, and hence, needs to GC — does the trick. Like the majority of high-level languages, JavaScript allocates its objects and values to memory and releases them when they’re no longer needed. But, how?

Thanks to Linus Torvalds, the creator of not only Linux, but also the most popular version control system - Git, multiple developers can simultaneously work on the development of the same application, ramping up the speed of production. Git was revolutionary - it enabled developers to keep track of code changes and collaborate seamlessly across different projects.

We software engineers like to think ourselves unflappable. Consider that we spend most of our days staring at glowing pages of eldritch horror that no mortal was meant to witness. We whisper and type our otherworldly incantations, all the while feeling the hungry gaze of a lurking cross-site scripting bug, or a shadowy use-after-free, or an accidental summoning of ZALGO. (H̨e̛ ̕c͢om͢es, you know.)

To dive deeper into some of the findings of our recent fintech mobile report, we reached out to banking and finance professionals in a series of conversations. We explored region-specific challenges and how different institutions keep up with the industry’s increasingly mobile-first direction.

Waldo is a no-code testing platform, that allows teams to test apps without the hassle of scripting. With the Waldo Verified Step, you can automate testing and ship your app to the users faster, directly from Bitrise.

They say that procrastination is the thief of time. In the world of software development, there are some additional “time thieves” that prevent our teams from developing new features or slow them down as they attempt to fix issues. As software engineers or R&D managers, we take it for granted that our teams spend a lot of their time waiting for compiling, testing, and deploying.

Javascript is a funny language. It claims to be (and very much is) a single-threaded language (i.e., it executes statements in order, one at a time, one after another, in a synchronous fashion). Despite just having the one native thread to work with, it somehow allows you to write concurrent, asynchronous code that is non-blocking in nature.

Logs are an important part of your application and logging shouldn’t be one of the last things you think of. You should configure your log system, formatter, and style as soon as you start the development of your app. Also, do your best to document the process and share how it works with the rest of your team. In this article, we’re going to demonstrate how logs work in Elixir. We’ll jump into Elixir’s Logger module, which brings a lot of power to logging features.

One of the most common questions that businesses operating under GDPR, LGPD or other similar data regulations have is how long should you keep data? As answers to this question typically seem to vary widely to clear up confusion, we’ve gathered insights from business leaders & specialists across a variety of industries to try and answer this question and shed light on what are reasonable timeframes to keep hold of data, whether that may be financial, employee or other potentially sensitive data.

For many developers, Ruby on Rails framework not only allows them to build web applications, websites, and efficient database solutions, but it can help them optimize mailing operations. You can easily use Ruby on Rails mailer, an automatic tool to build transactional messages of any kind, and make proper authentication. In this article, we review three main ways to work with email sending in RoR, which include some Ruby gems, the Net::SMTP class, and the facilities of the Socket system.

We are excited to announce NSolid 4.1.0, which introduces NodeSource Certified Modules NCM in NSolid console and NCM Strict Mode. NodeSource Certified Modules provides you and your teams with actionable insights into the risk levels that are present in your use of third-party packages. Using a series of tests, we score packages on npm to look for a number of weighted criteria. With the NCM you can scan your projects, for existing security vulnerabilities, license concerns, code risk and code quality.

According to the Stackoverflow survey of 2019, Python programming language garnered 73.1% approval among developers. It ranks second to Rust and continues to dominate in Data Science and Machine Learning(ML). Python is a developers’ favorite. It is a high-level language known for its robustness and its core philosophy―simplicity over complexity. However, Python application’s performance is another story. Just like any other application, it has its share of performance issues.

In this guide, we are going to see what a Docker health check is and how to configure it for your Docker containers. A Health Check means to check the health of any resource to determine whether that resource is operating normally. Here, it is about checking the health of Docker containers. If you’ve been using docker containers in production, you might have noticed that docker checks the status of a container by using the status of the process (PID) launched from the Docker file command.

This quarter we’ve been working on many improvements that will make your life easier when catching those sneaky bugs, and expand Bugfender’s capabilities with some of the most requested features: We hope you find all these updates useful!

Today, social media uses a wide range of different social networking platforms to help its users with the creation and sharing of ideas, information, personal interests and hobbies by establishing virtual networks. Affiliates can benefit from these groups that use web-based applications to communicate, interact and connect. Affiliates participate by generating content, for example with comments, articles, photos, videos.

Web designers are putting their time, effort, and creativity into creating a site that appeals to users, and engages, and holds their attention. According to one episode of the Project Management Podcast, it’ll be easier for designers to turn those ideas and concepts into a tangible web design using the right tools. But with so many tools out there in the market, picking the right one can be difficult. So, what will a designer do?

If you work in Information Technology, you have doubtless encountered logs- in fact depending on your area of expertise, you may be inundated with them on a daily basis. Nearly every piece of digital technology produces some kind of log, from complex web applications to the drivers that power your mouse and keyboard. As such, the definition of what a “log” actually is, is necessarily loose; any output received from a piece of software could be considered a log.

In this article, we explain how you can remotely debug and troubleshoot production errors in your React Native App. For this, we will use the Bugfender free integration to enable a real-time log and be able to follow what users are doing with your App.

Here we try to explain how to solve any bug or error that your App created with Angular may have and that may be affecting your users without them or yourself knowing it. For this we will use a remote debugger and logging for Angular using the Bugfender library.

Welcome back to another one of our Community Roundups, folks! We're excited to bring you a new collection of our favorite articles and mentions in this past month — let's get to it, shall we?

Our team at Codecov is happy to announce that we built an official Verified Step for Bitrise. Codecov began as a project to solve one developer’s personal frustration of not being able to get a quick look at what code is tested. That was the case with Bitrise too, starting out as a tool to solve the problem of our founders. With shared values and plenty of mutual customers, we’re excited to share this official integration and help out mobile developers all around the world.

Software development has greatly evolved over the years. Serverless is an emerging software architecture that could resolve issues when it comes to developing software solutions. As software developers, you’re tasked with server setup, installing the software, operating systems requirements, server management and maintenance, designing an application with high fault tolerance and availability, as well as managing load balance and more.

One of the most important shifts of the past few years in finance and banking was the movement from primarily branch-based banks to mobile-first banks. While these innovative products simplify the end-user experience, they also bring up more security concerns, since digital channels expose a number of vulnerabilities. These apps deal with sensitive user data, such as private financial or personal information, which means that the prevention of any type of breach is of utmost importance.

Develop fast, release, learn, repeat. That’s essentially the (not-so-secret) innovation formula, right? Most of us spend our time enhancing the products we have already released. We want to be innovative, releasing new features with the velocity of an unencumbered startup. Yet, we also have customers with quality expectations we need to meet. Guidance on shortening release cycles often centers on adopting agile (or similar) development methodologies. But most companies are already there.
