In part one of this series, we managed distributed state using GenServers. This provided a foundation for understanding some core concepts in distributed Phoenix applications. Now, we turn our focus to deployment and scaling strategies. As your application evolves to meet growing demands, knowing how to scale horizontally, maintain high availability, and monitor distributed components becomes crucial.

The Resources.NotFoundException is Android's way of saying "Hey, you told me to grab something, but it's not where you said it would be!" This error typically shows up when you're trying to access strings, layouts, drawables, or other resources that Android can't locate in your app's resource files. Maybe they were renamed, deleted, or never existed in the first place. Or perhaps they're hiding in the wrong folder.

More than 80% of developers and business leaders say AI investments have already created the opportunity for new products or services, according to Kong’s 2024 API Impact Report. Clearly, AI has proven its value and place in the enterprise, but with new innovations come new potential vulnerabilities. But as organizations push forward into and navigate the rising risk of AI-enhanced threats and the adoption of AI tools and large language models (LLMs), what have tech leaders experienced?

To improve processes, businesses need both qualitative and quantitative data. Too many companies rely on qualitative data alone, using anecdotal evidence and intuition. But without seeing the numbers, how can you know if you’re meeting key performance indicators (KPIs)? How can you know for sure that your real-world operational processes are setting you up to meet your goals?

In 2025, the financial services industry will undergo a seismic shift. We’ll see: Imagine near-perfect AI-driven document data extraction. Agentic AI that brings together automation technologies and human intelligence. Flexible data fabric networks that make faster data-driven insights possible without the burden of costly consolidation. For financial leaders, this will be a year of bold moves and transformative strategies.

Imagine a user waiting several seconds for an app to load due to slow API responses. Frustration builds, user retention plummets, and scaling becomes a nightmare. API performance is a critical determinant of user experience and system reliability. Fast APIs ensure seamless interactions and support scalability. Among the strategies to enhance API speed, caching stands out as a powerful, cost-efficient approach.

In the 21st-century business world, application programming interfaces, or APIs, have become a critical tool for modern organizations. APIs have proven integral when it comes to application development. In addition, APIs help add better functionality and scalability to modern apps. From automating tasks to improving services, APIs provide organizations with various benefits. However, the benefits of API development don't come without some challenges.

Are you struggling to keep reducing build times as your project grows in complexity? Got particular workflows that take a long time to complete which needlessly hold up other parts of your build whilst you wait for the next stage? The waiting ends now with Graph Pipelines, a new feature which enables you to reduce overall build time by running CI tasks in parallel.
