In Ruby, regular expressions can be challenging to learn, but they're a powerful tool to parse and manipulate text in your Ruby code. There are plenty of gotchas, but Ruby regex skills will pay dividends if you take the time to practice them. We thought it'd be fun to complement our article about regex conditionals in Ruby by looking at some other neat but uncommon tricks you can do with regexes in Ruby. Some of these tricks are Ruby-specific, but many apply to regular expressions in any language.

Troubleshooting builds just got a lot easier. The new Invocation Diffing feature in Bitrise Build Cache allows you to compare two command invocations side by side to see exactly what changed. Whether you're investigating a build failure or a performance regression, this tool gives you a faster path to understanding and resolution.

API compatibility is key to making your systems work together smoothly, no matter the platform. Here's how you can achieve it.

Observability has become critical to ensuring the effective monitoring of application and system performance and health. It focuses on understanding a system’s internal state by analyzing the data it produces in the context of real-time events and actions across the infrastructure. Unlike traditional monitoring, which mainly notifies you when issues arise, observability offers the tools and insights needed to determine not only that a problem exists but also its root cause.

Recent leaks have once again brought API and data security concerns into the spotlight. Specifically, the leaks pointed at the following as major areas to consider when thinking through your API and data security strategies: When considering the above, it’s critical to think about best practices across every stage of the API lifecycle, starting with the initial phases of API design and testing.

Software development has always evolved with new paradigms to meet the growing demands of modern systems. One of the most significant shifts has been the adoption of microservices. Emerging in the early 2010s, this architectural pattern moved away from monolithic applications in favor of smaller, independent services that interact with each other over a network.

APIs (application programming interfaces) have transformed how we build modern software systems. As our digital experiences become more modular and interconnected, APIs power mobile apps, partner integrations, and internal services. Most companies now expose APIs not just for technical access, but as part of a larger API business model. But simply deploying APIs through a gateway like Gravitee doesn’t suffice.
