In this post, I compare two cloud pubsub services: Azure Web PubSub and Ably, to determine which provides the best development experience. The context will be a multi-user pixelart drawing application that I've built with both services. This is not a step-by-step instruction on how to build the entire application. I'll highlight some key features and differences. The GitHub repository for the app has further details and includes CodeTours to guide you through the solution.

Learn how the Fivetran REST API allows you to programmatically manage users, groups and connectors to scale data workflows and improve your overall security posture.

Cross Browser Testing is a sort of testing that determines whether an application works as anticipated across several browsers and degrades seamlessly. It is the process of ensuring that your application is compatible with many browsers. We've all seen that some websites don't display properly in certain browsers, leading us to believe that the website is malfunctioning. However, when you open it in a different browser, the page loads perfectly.

The term “mobile app accessibility” is often applied to making apps accessible to people with physical disabilities. But what if accessibility could encompass diversity and inclusion as well?

There are dozens of software testing tools available in 2022 — and they’re not as similar as they may seem on the surface. To choose the right tool for your team, you need to carefully consider the technical skillset of your team and the complexity of the application you’re testing. In this article, we discuss four questions to consider in order to understand the differences between tools.

With all of the buzz around cloud computing, many companies have overlooked the importance of hybrid data. Many large enterprises went all-in on cloud without considering the costs and potential risks associated with a cloud-only approach. The truth is, the future of data architecture is all about hybrid.

The previous decade has seen explosive growth in the integration of data and data-driven insight into a company’s ability to operate effectively, yielding an ever-growing competitive advantage to those that do it well. Our customers have become accustomed to the speed of decision making that comes from that insight. Data is integral for both long-term strategy and day-to-day, or even minute-to-minute operation.

While Elixir is frequently associated with web development, this is not where its capabilities end. As a general-purpose language, it can be used for virtually anything. You don't have to take my word for it — projects such as Nerves, Nx, Scenic, or LiveBook speak for themselves. But today, we will focus on something different: writing a command-line application in Elixir and preparing it for distribution.
