The Apple Push Notification Service (APNs) allows developers to send real-time alerts and data to Apple devices. But it can create a number of problems as your app scales including silent throttling, deep link errors and push payload incompatibility. This post will help you proactively avoid these issues. You’ll learn about: This guide is intended for developers already using push notifications or planning to operate notification systems at scale.

Security vulnerabilities in production environments rarely arrive one at a time. Recently, one of our enterprise Node.js support customers identified a collection of security advisories affecting their Node.js infrastructure. The affected environments were running Node.js v20 and v22 and included vulnerabilities not only within runtime-adjacent tooling but also in components distributed alongside Node.js deployments.

The M4 Pro Mac mini industry shortage shouldn't affect your CI. Apple pulled the base model from its store and discontinued the 32GB config. What's still available ships in weeks with some configs months out. Resellers are asking $979 for $599 machines and Tim Cook confirmed the constraints will last several more months. This all paints a pretty grim picture, and if your CI depends on new Mac hardware, the shortage is already in your pipeline.

Understanding complex request traces is one of the hardest parts of performance analysis. In this Release, we focused on making this significantly easier in Tideways. The Timeline has been redesigned to provide a clearer view of how requests are executed, with new layout modes, improved navigation, and a more consistent span model. These changes help you follow execution order, understand dependencies, and identify performance bottlenecks faster, even in complex applications.

A 3D mesh for an elevator button with millions of triangles was added to a AAA game. No one flagged it. Nothing caught it. By the time anyone noticed the effect on performance, the artist had moved on, the asset was buried under dependencies, and the team was three months from shipping.

When product teams discuss integrations in real estate software, the conversation usually stays technical: API endpoints, data normalisation, build timelines. Those questions matter — but they miss the more important one: what is this integration actually worth? Integrations with multiple listing service (MLS) feeds, property management systems (PMS), and CRM platforms are strategic product decisions.

From booking flows to subscription screens, formatting dates correctly is a core requirement in almost every Android app. In this post we’ll show you how to master the specific Android date format, understand its unique features and avoid common formatting pitfalls.

Last year, Nathan Hillyer's iOS platform engineering team at ForeFlight had self-hosted Mac hardware in their office, two engineers keeping them alive, and a codebase with over 2 million lines of Objective-C, Swift, and C++. Every Xcode update was a fire drill. Every capacity spike during a merge meant somebody was physically racking hardware in the Austin office. ForeFlight didn't want a new CI system. They wanted to stop being a data centre.

Forget everything you thought you knew about AI! Literally! Yes, we are not lying because a new era has already begun. A technology is emerging that doesn’t just compute… it perceives. It listens, observes, reads, and interprets the world with a blend of senses much closer to our own. It’s the age of multimodal AI, where intelligence is no longer limited to a single stream of data, but fuelled by the combined power of text, images, audio, and video.
