Government API Use Case: How to quickly connect your application with Data.

Getting data out of source systems and into the applications that need it is usually slow, custom, and hard to secure. Today I'll show you how DreamFactory solves that as a secure data gateway. This demo today is based on a government healthcare use case.

Why Do AI Tools Give Different Numbers for the Same Question?

You can ask two AI tools the same question about your data and get different answers, even when both have access to the same system. There are several reasons this can happen. Each one might run a different model, or have a different set of tools available. The data you thought was the same might not actually be the same. Or one tool might have more context about my account than the other. I want to focus on what happens after I rule those things out: each tool still has to decide what my question means.

Agent Product Use Case - Slack & Jira Discrepancy Workflow

Customers and champions report problems in Slack, but if nobody files the ticket, the issue disappears before it ever reaches Jira. In this video, we use AgentSpot to build a Slack to Jira Coverage Workflow that reads your champions channel every morning, cross-compares it against your Jira backlog, and emails you a report of every issue raised in Slack that no one has filed yet. What is AgentSpot? AgentSpot is an Agentic Workforce Platform for building workflows that make decisions, take action, and deliver results across every system your business runs on, grounded in your data.

JavaScript Debugging: the Complete Guide

An effective JavaScript debugging process is vital for any web developer. Over 95% of the web is built with JavaScript code, but the language carries its own distinct challenges due to its unique runtime model. This guide will help you master these challenges and become truly fluent in the Internet’s first language. You’ll learn about: You’ll leave with a process that works in any case, no matter how edgy.

Top Static Site Generators for 2025

Static site generators have never been more relevant. AI search tools favor fast, pre-rendered content. Hosting costs are near zero. Build tooling has matured to the point where shipping a production-ready static site takes hours, not weeks. But while the benefits of SSGs are clear, choosing the right SSG for your business can be much more tricky. There are lots of competing options, all with their own pros and cons.

A Beginner's Guide to Turning Old Photos Into Videos

Somewhere on a hard drive or in a shoebox, there are photographs that matter to you - a grandparent on a doorstep, a holiday nobody documented properly, a childhood pet. They get scanned, admired for a moment, and filed away again. Motion changes how those images land, because movement restores something a still frame flattens: presence. This tutorial assumes no editing experience. You will learn what photo animation actually does, how to prepare an archive image, and how to finish a short, respectful memory clip in a single sitting.

Diagnose Serial N+1 API Calls With Tempo + proxymock

One API request took 302 milliseconds. Nothing failed. CPU was mostly idle. The response was correct. The trace made the problem obvious: eight inventory calls, each waiting for the previous one. But the trace could not tell me why the application made eight calls, or whether changing their execution would preserve the response. It showed the shape of the wait, not the input that created it.

The Pod Was Cheaper. The Service Wasn't.

A smaller Kubernetes pod can lower allocation cost while completing less work. Green status codes and matching schemas can hide it. This walkthrough combines OpenCost allocation data with proxymock behavior and performance evidence. A candidate passes only when behavior and throughput hold while unit cost falls.

Two confident fixes missed this production bug

Every new signup posts a message to our Slack. The format is dull and reliable: Overnight this week one arrived like this: That trailing nothing was the entire incident. No error logs, no alerts. A returning user had signed up, our signup service had attached them to a tenant we deprovisioned back in December, and the only symptom in the whole company was a Slack message that ran out of words. Their company's email domain still pointed at the dead tenant, so instead of a fresh workspace they landed in a corpse: domain mapping still live, cloud infrastructure long gone. I'm on call this week, so I pulled the thread.
