With over 20,000 GitHub stars and lots of integrations, the Devise gem is one of the most popular gems in the Ruby landscape. So why would we term it one of Ruby's "hidden" gems? Well, as popular as it is, most developers only scratch the surface of the library's capabilities. In this two-part series, we'll take a deep dive into Devise. In this first part, we'll learn some of the basics, including: In part two, we'll look at more advanced usages of Devise, including: Let's get started!

If you’re worried about the potential for heightened regulatory scrutiny in financial services, you’re not alone. Business operations teams everywhere are focused on the end-to-end, client lifecycle management (CLM) process as they cope with ever-changing regulations governing how, when, and where client data can be stored and accessed. It’s hard to stay compliant when customer data is spread across multiple operational silos.

Large-scale enterprise modernization initiatives are taking place across the public sector, with agencies striving to gain efficiencies through better use of more modern technologies, such as low-code platforms, and employing data in novel ways in the decision-making process. These modernization efforts disrupt the business processes that have developed around the outdated solutions these efforts aim to replace.

Python is a popular programming language known for its simplicity and versatility. It's commonly used for web development, data analysis, and automation. While it's not usually associated with client-side development, it can be useful in scenarios where server-side applications need to exchange data in realtime. This is why we’ve released a new Python Realtime SDK component that enables developers to integrate Ably's realtime functionality into their Python applications.

The exponential growth of the Internet and cloud computing has given rise to applications that are smaller, more distributed, and designed for highly dynamic environments capable of rapidly scaling up or down as needed. These applications have pushed the demand for modern API management product architectures that can leverage cloud native capabilities to achieve scalability, resilience, agility, and cost efficiency.

Latency is a technical term that, even for the people who use it every day, tends to feel abstract. When a metric calls for measurement by the millisecond, it’s easy to forget just how valuable each millisecond is. But if your application promises to deliver realtime updates – especially in the sports, media, and entertainment industries – low latency has to become a high priority and the experience your users have with latency needs to be vivid.

Rails' date and time helpers are great. They save us from duplicating simple add-duration-to-time logic across our applications and make the code more readable. However, complex date manipulations are dangerous places full of edge-cases. This article discusses some of them.

APIs have become increasingly popular in the current SaaS ecosystem due to their ability to seamlessly integrate software systems. APIs provide standardized ways for applications to share data. API monetization is a powerful way for businesses to drive growth and generate revenue from existing API consumer data and usage. By offering your APIs as products or services, your company can tap into new markets, attract more developers, and create self-sustaining ecosystems around your product line.
