In programming, exception handling is an essential concept to help developers catch and manage errors in a way that will support the application’s architecture robustness. An Exception is an event which disrupts the normal flow of your Android application. It can occur if a user provides an invalid input, or there are runtime errors, such as division by zero. Exceptions happen when there are unexpected conditions, like IOError file reading failed etc.

In applications that use closures excessively, understanding stack traces as part of the debugging experience has historically been complicated by the fact that the names of closures did not include the source location. In a PHP stack trace, whenever a frame was represented by a closure, it only contained the reference {closure} and the namespace the closure was declared in, leading to all closures within a namespace looking identical.

Do you want the benefits of contract testing with much less effort? Are you convinced of the benefits of contract testing but think it’s just too difficult to roll out across your organization? You might worry that implementing Pact in your organization requires challenging changes to culture and process. In this article, I’ll show you a drastically simplified approach to contract testing that a single developer can bring online.

In the era of rapid digital transformation, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the constant introduction of new tech trends and buzzwords. Amidst this rapid change, one term stands out as a cornerstone of this revolution: Enterprise Software Systems. These systems play a vital role in helping businesses adapt and thrive in the fast-paced world of digital innovation.

Legacy applications pose multiple problems for data-driven organizations like yours. Outdated software might no longer receive support and maintenance from its vendor or might not integrate with modern technologies like cloud computing. Still, these applications are essential for day-to-day business tasks, and replacing them could impede productivity and profitability.

When developing an Elixir app, you'll often need to handle tasks in a way that does not interrupt the normal user request-response cycle. Tasks like sending emails are great examples of jobs that should be delegated to a capable background job processing service. In the Elixir ecosystem, Oban is one such background job processing library. In this article, we'll learn what Oban is, how it works, and how to instrument it using AppSignal.

Speed is everything in today's fast-moving business world. For software developers, this means the race is on to get new apps to market faster and better than competitors. In light of this constant pressure to deliver, it's no surprise that the demand for hybrid development continues to rise. After all, with one codebase that runs on multiple platforms, how can you go wrong? In reality the choice is not always so clear-cut.

Have you ever wondered why claim processing often takes so long? Or why so many errors happen in what should be a simple process? In fact, research shows that manual claim processing can lead to up to 30% errors and 50% higher costs due to inefficiencies. These delays don’t just frustrate customers- they also slow down business operations and impact revenue.

Development teams and product managers have many variables that affect their daily processes, but perhaps the most impactful is the nature of their development environment. Having a proper development environment can fundamentally change the efficacy of an entire engineering team, unlocking incredible productivity and iterative development at scale.
