I'm excited to announce the Ably Control API GitHub Action! With this Action you can create Ably apps and API keys straight from your GitHub workflow, ensuring a reliable and repeatable process of creating your cloud infrastructure.
Most web applications use a data store of some kind, often a relational database. When a web app becomes successful, it can become all too easy to start "hoarding" data in the database. But hoarding data leads to the unbounded growth of database tables (both row count and stored data size). While this works fine to a certain point, it is very useful to prevent some data bloat — or, if you cannot prevent it, to plan for your infrastructure ahead of time to adequately manage growth.
Automated testing early in the pipeline for both web and mobile applications has become the standard for most development teams. Catching issues when they are faster, easier, and cheaper to fix provides tremendous value to a business both financially and through the improved quality of end-user experience.
