Manufacturers are drowning in data but struggling to use it effectively. Sensors on factory floors generate massive amounts of information - temperature, vibration, pressure - but much of it sits in isolated systems, creating "data silos." These silos prevent real-time decisions, predictive maintenance, and cost savings. The solution? Data AI Gateways. These gateways unify isolated sensors, process data locally with edge computing, and translate protocols to connect legacy equipment with modern systems.

No one starts their work day thinking “Let’s investigate the memory allocations of my Gradle build”, but sometimes life happens (usually at the worst possible time): Every Gradle project faces memory allocation problems eventually, as the codebase grows. So, instead of blindly applying JVM flags from Stack Overflow until it’s resolved, why not take a deeper look?

Common Vulnerability and Exposures (CVE) collects known cybersecurity vulnerabilities and exposures to help you to better safeguard your embedded software. This framework is central to managing security threats effectively. Here, we explain what is CVE, unpack the role of CVE identifiers, examine the differences of CVE vs. CWE, expand on the CVE list, and outline how identifying vulnerabilities early in software development can be achieved with the right static analysis tools.

It's not even 9 AM, and the day's already started. A customer can't reset their password. The product team just found a bug in the app. A partner bank needs data synced ASAP. Oh, and the CEO wants to know when the mobile app can do instant loans. Sounds about right? Yeah, for banking leaders, this is just another Tuesday. Customers want everything to be easy and digital. Stakeholders want things done well, safely, and by the book. And nobody has time for old-school stuff.

Choosing the right IoT protocol for edge microservices can save energy, reduce latency, and improve efficiency. Here's a quick guide: MQTT: Lightweight and energy-efficient, ideal for resource-constrained devices. AMQP: Reliable and secure, great for mission-critical applications but resource-intensive. CoAP: Best for low-power, low-bandwidth devices with minimal energy needs. HTTP/REST: Widely compatible but consumes more energy and bandwidth.

In this tutorial, we will build a Flask app with Docker, create a background worker with Celery, and use RabbitMQ as the message broker between the two services. This (relatively) simple example will be used to demonstrate how Docker makes it easier to run multiple services and share configuration details between developers. In the last section, we will also build and optimize our app for deployment to Render, so we can avoid some of the common gotchas it is easy to fall victim to along the way!

Our Advanced CI team is always trying to push what we have further, which often means we have to support APIs and code that are not yet fully stable. On the other hand, we are bound to support projects that are using deprecated code to a certain extent. This is particularly true for build systems that are rapidly changing to support the needs of application developers, such as Gradle.

Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and Claude have revolutionized how we think about business automation and conversational interfaces. So it’s no surprise that many organizations are considering building their own LLM-powered chatbot. But here’s the truth: creating a secure, scalable, and intelligent chatbot from scratch is harder than it looks.
