Tideways 2025.4 Release

In our fourth Release of 2025, we included PHP 8.5 support on the day of its release and Heartbeats to monitor your application’s pulse more closely than ever. If something is offbeat, you’ll receive timely alerts. We improved alerting by introducing fine-granular transaction level response time and made automatic tracepoint triggers more powerful.

Appian DocCenter for Financial Services

Documents are the foundation of nearly every process in financial services, including client onboarding, regulatory reporting, trade lifecycle management, asset servicing, and more. This constant flow of unstructured content, such as Investment Policy Statements, complex legal agreements, and compliance forms, burdens teams with manual review, creates significant operational friction, and increases the risk of data inconsistency and regulatory non-compliance. Watch this video to see how Appian DocCenter automates the entire document lifecycle.

Manage a Next.js Monorepo with Prisma

Prisma is a modern open-source database toolkit designed to simplify data workflows for developers. It provides a powerful and intuitive way to interact with databases, and it is type-safe. Prisma works well in a monorepo because it can be used in both the frontend and backend of a full-stack application. This enables developers to share types and logic across the entire codebase, resulting in a more efficient development process.

Completing, Integrating, and Publishing Our Game with DragonRuby

In part one of this series, we started developing a simple Flappy Bird clone game using the DragonRuby game development toolkit. We didn't come very far, though — we stopped after integrating player input to keep our plane afloat. In this second and concluding part, we'll implement the remaining simple game mechanics. We'll also take a brief look at interfacing with an HTTP server and publishing our game on itch.io.

Build an Elixir App with Cowboy

Cowboy is a small, fast, and modern HTTP server for Erlang/OTP. It particularly shines when handling multiple concurrent connections with minimal overhead. This makes it a perfect choice for building lightweight, real-time streaming services. In this article, we’ll build a tiny real-time text pub/sub server using Cowboy. Our service supports HTTP-based publishing, allowing clients to subscribe using either WebSockets or Server-Sent Events (SSE).

Introducing Moesif-Powered API Analytics in WSO2 API Manager

APIs are no longer just simple integration interfaces. As AI models, agents, and digital ecosystems become increasingly interlinked, APIs have become products. They have their own usage patterns, costs, and business implications. To make informed, data-driven, and business decisions, you require deep visibility into your systems. To address these challenges, the latest v4.6.0 release of WSO2 API Manager includes a dedicated API intelligence engine, powered by Moesif.

EP18: Deep Work for Architects

In this episode, hosts *Dr. Sanjiva Weerawarana* and *Asanka Abeysinghe* explore the lost art of deep work and why it is critical for architects. They discuss how constant interruptions, shallow work, and overreliance on AI shortcuts can undermine clear thinking and architectural quality. The conversation focuses on creating space for focused thinking, applying first principles, and how architects and leaders can protect deep work in today’s noisy enterprise environment.

PHP Configuration Essentials for DreamFactory: Critical Settings You Need to Know

This guide focuses on the critical configurations every DreamFactory administrator must understand: memory_limit, upload_max_filesize, post_max_size, PHP-FPM worker settings, and the often-overlooked configuration hierarchy where pool settings override php.ini values.

DocCenter for Insurance

Documents are at the heart of every insurance transaction, impacting underwriting, claims, policy administration, and compliance across P&C, Life, Reinsurance, and Specialty Lines. This content-heavy environment slows down critical decisions and increases operational cost. Watch this video to see how Appian DocCenter—built on the Appian Platform—automates the entire document lifecycle.
