7 Challenges Delivering Secure Aerospace Software in the Age of AI (with Solutions)

The challenge of any aerospace company is to deliver new capabilities without compromising safety, reliability, or precision. At our current juncture, legacy technology runs into conflict with modern tool stacks. Artificial intelligence (AI) creates fissures in compliance and auditability, and innovation and productivity gains come at a cost of greater complexity. Despite these seismic shifts, the central question remains the same.

Is This a Job for AI? 3 Criteria to Evaluate Your Use Case

It's easy to get caught up in the AI hype, but excitement can stop us from seeing the practical steps needed to make AI truly work. At Appian, we recognize that AI is at its most powerful within a process. Before you get to embedding AI in process, however, you must determine if AI is what you need.

Test-Commit-Revert: A useful workflow for testing legacy code in Ruby

It happens to all of us. As software projects grow, parts of the production code we ship end up without a comprehensive test suite. When you take another look at the same area of code after a few months, it may be difficult to understand; even worse, there might be a bug, and we don't know where to begin fixing it. Modifying production code without tests is a major challenge.

The Push and Pull between Validation and Creativity

In this episode, Petr Nohejl of Warhorse Studios joins us to explore one of game development’s most constant tensions: creativity versus validation. From technical constraints like file naming limits and tooling rules to the challenge of keeping large teams productive, Petr shares real-world examples of why validation systems exist—and why they can feel frustrating to developers pushing creative boundaries. Together, we unpack how this “push and pull” ultimately leads to better-performing pipelines, more scalable production, and stronger games.

Build vs Buy Real Estate Software: How to Make the Right Call

Choosing between building and buying real estate software isn’t just a technical decision—it shapes how fast you move, how much control you keep, and how far your product can scale. Whether you’re launching a PropTech startup or modernizing an existing real estate platform, the wrong choice can lock you into costly limitations, while the right one can become a competitive advantage.

How to Optimize iOS Push Notifications in Production

Push notifications are one of the most powerful retention tools in mobile. iOS opt-in rates average 40–45%, and apps that use push effectively can triple their long-term retention. However poorly timed, poorly crafted alerts can drain our open rates, leading to opt-outs and disengagement. When designing iOS push notifications, we need to think about engagement and retention, not just impressions.

What is an MCP Registry? The Centralized Directory for AI Agents

A guide to learning how MCP registries help govern AI agent-to-tool connectivity AI agents are only as capable as the tools they can reach. When an agent needs to query a database, file a support ticket, or pull data from a CRM, it has to find the right tool, authenticate, and invoke it — all at runtime. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) standardizes how agents communicate with these tools. But MCP alone does not answer a fundamental question: how does the agent know which tools exist?

We built a Custom Transport for Vercel's AI SDK

Ably is a realtime messaging platform, it's a pub/sub product where you can publish messages to channels and clients subscribed to those channels will receive those messages in realtime. It turns out that the Ably realtime platform is really well suited to being the transport that sits between your AI models and the clients receiving the generated responses.

Custom Fleet Management Software Development | 2026 Market & Opportunity

Roughly 35 million commercial vehicles are operating across the world's top logistics markets today. Every one of them is burning fuel, accumulating wear, and navigating roads that are more congested, more regulated, and more expensive to operate on than ever before. The numbers behind inefficiency are staggering. According to the Department of Energy and the Argonne National Laboratory, 6 billion gallons of gasoline are wasted by idling alone every single year.
