In light of recent events, we have decided to turn our successful Bitrise User Groups (BUGs) into a series of online events. Read on to learn more about what’s going to be different, and how you can be a part of it all, too.

The metaphor of software viruses to biological ones is deeply ingrained, easily seen in the fact that biological viruses are at least the namesake, if not the inspiration for computer viruses. Can we take this analogy and reapply it in reverse? Is it possible to learn more about how we can combat biological viruses, such as the raging COVID-19 epidemic, by leveraging concepts, mindsets, and ideas that evolved in the software engineering and cybersecurity worlds?

Shipping the right app with the right functionalities to the right customer, at the right time is how you boost your ranking in the app store. Some of the key steps in this process are: continuously releasing high-quality software, listening to feedback, and providing new features to users — before they even know that they want them. To achieve all of this, app developers need two main things: automation tools and a growth mindset.

Ruby has always been known for the productivity it brings to its developers. Alongside features such as elegant syntax, rich meta-programming support, etc. that make you productive when writing code, it also has another secret weapon called TracePoint that can help you “debug” faster. In this post, I’ll use a simple example to show you 2 interesting facts I found out about debugging.

Go has built-in features to make it easier for programmers to implement logging. Third parties have also built additional tools to make logging easier. What's the difference between them? Which should you choose? In this article Ayooluwa Isaiah describes both of these and discusses when you'd prefer one over the other.

Tired of waiting for sluggish HTTP requests to complete before your backend code can proceed with other things? Sanic is an asynchronous web framework in Python, that is built to be fast. In a world where Flask and Django are the most preferred web development options in Python, Sanic is the new kid on the block. It’s a promising alternative that is not only faster but also delivers efficiency, simplicity, and scalability.

SOLID is one of the most popular sets of design principles in object-oriented software development. All of them are broadly used and worth knowing. But in this first post of my series about the SOLID principles, I will focus on the first one: the Single Responsibility Principle.

Welcome back to another one of our Community Roundups! We hope that all of you are safe and sound, and that the recent situation hasn't got you completely down. If you’re back home and are looking for some inspiration for upgrading your Bitrise setup, check out these articles — and a couple of happy little tweets, just for good measure. Let's get started!

Ever since we started logging with Bugfender back in 2015, we’ve been working towards integration with Firebase, the app development platform created by Google. Firebase is famous for the breadth of its integration libraries and millions of people use the product around the world, drawn to its sleek UI and range of features. Our primary goal has been integration with Firebase Crashlytics Log, which underpins the entire platform.
