Ably Python SDK v3: realtime for Python, built for AI

Python dominates AI development. It's where teams build their agents, orchestration layers, and the backend systems that turn LLM calls into products people actually use. Over the past year, those systems have matured rapidly. What used to live in notebooks and prototypes is now running in production, serving real users with real expectations around reliability and performance. That maturity brings infrastructure requirements. Tokens need to stream in order.

iOS App Clips: What They Are and How to Create One

App Clips are one of the most under-appreciated parts of the iOS universe. Introduced with iOS 14 back in 2020, they allow users to sample the best features of an app without having to download it in full. Users explore the Apple ecosystem. Developers broaden their audience. Win-win, right? Well, bizarrely few devs are actually using App Clips right now. A lot of folks think they’re going to be overly complex and full of friction.

Monitoring Express Route Performance with AppSignal

Slow Express routes rarely look broken in logs. They just feel sluggish to users. With AppSignal, though, you can quickly identify which endpoints are the slowest, gain insight into each request, and find out if the latency is related to any errors or slow queries. In this guide, you'll set up a mock Express application, create a load, and use AppSignal to analyze a route's performance as if you were working through a live incident.

GitHub Actions macOS runner alternative: M4 Pro with 54GB RAM and same-day Xcode

Bitrise Build Hub is a vertically integrated mobile CI/CD infrastructure layer that drops into GitHub Actions with one line of YAML. GitHub Actions runs your CI, but its Mac runners are holding your mobile builds back. Limited M1/M2 hardware, stale Xcode, no cache co-location, no macOS uptime SLA. The infrastructure wasn't built for mobile. Build Hub was. Build Hub upgrades the runner layer underneath.

Why do AI agents fail in the enterprise? #aiagents #shorts

Intelligence isn't enough. To make smart decisions, AI agents need context. Shafrine (WSO2) breaks down why integration is the secret sauce to moving AI from a pilot project to a high-performing "agentic" workforce. Learn how connecting your siloed systems provides the "informed decision-making" power agents need to actually get work done.

Custom MCP Server vs. AI Data Gateway: Which Is Right for Enterprise AI?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is quickly becoming the standard for how large language models connect to enterprise data. As adoption accelerates, engineering teams face a foundational decision: build a custom MCP server from scratch, or adopt an AI data gateway that ships with MCP support, security, and governance out of the box. Both paths have real tradeoffs. This post breaks them down so you can make the right call for your stack, your team, and your risk profile.
