Enterprises have invested decades of development effort into SQL Server stored procedures. These procedures contain critical business logic—validation rules, complex calculations, transaction handling, reporting queries—that applications need to access. But stored procedures weren't designed for modern API-driven architectures.

When you’re building realtime systems, blind spots slow you down. The new dashboard gives developers self-serve visibility into everything happening inside their apps, from high-level usage to individual connections, channels and messages. No setup. No external tools. Just open your browser and observe your data in motion.

Why “standalone AI” falls short AI works best when embedded in a process Guardrails are not a limitation—they’re an enabler Process-driven AI in action How leaders should be thinking about AI now Artificial intelligence is no longer optional in state and local government—it’s essential for meeting public expectations amid staffing shortages and budget constraints. AI is showing up across agencies and programs.

In one of our posts, Kong AI/MCP Gateway and Kong MCP Server technical breakdown, we described the new capabilities added to Kong AI Gateway to support MCP (Model Context Protocol). The post focused exclusively on consuming MCP server and MCP tools through Kong MCP Gateway. Now, it's time to check how an AI agent can leverage the AI and MCP infrastructure exposed and protected by Kong AI/MCP Gateway.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is at the core of Europe’s digital privacy legislation. Adopted by the European Parliament in April 2016 and put into effect in May 2018, GDPR is a set of rules designed to give European Union (EU) citizens more control over their data. GDPR-compliant businesses are required to protect the personal data and privacy of EU citizens.

When we launched Ably in 2016, we set out to solve a fundamental problem: delivering reliable, low-latency real-time experiences at scale. So we set out to build a globally distributed system that didn't force developers to choose between latency, integrity, and reliability – trade-offs that had defined the realtime infrastructure space for years.

We're entering a new era of anticipatory customer experience – one that's not just reactive, not just responsive, but truly predictive. In this new model, systems don't wait for friction to appear; they recognise signals early and step in before the user ever feels a slowdown or moment of uncertainty. The bar has shifted: customers now expect brands to predict their needs and act before friction even surfaces.

Global Capability Centers (GCCs) have evolved from cost-efficient offshore units into strategic engines of innovation, transformation, and enterprise resilience. Today, India sits at the center of this shift, hosting the world’s most advanced GCC ecosystems and enabling global enterprises to scale talent, technology, and operations at speed. India is home to 1,700+ GCCs, employing 1.9 million+ professionals, and contributing over USD 64.6 billion annually to the economy.

Software development is complex, but your workflow doesn't have to be. As teams grow and projects scale, it's important to manage the frequent integration of code changes from multiple developers into a shared source code repository. Modern DevOps practices, including Continuous Integration, become essential for maintaining speed without sacrificing quality. In this blog, we explain what is continuous integration (CI), how continuous integration works, and how to successfully implement it.

Real-time features are becoming increasingly important in web applications, but not every Rails developer is familiar with Action Cable, the framework's built-in WebSocket library. Rails Action Cable has long supported web sockets, but comes with some additional complexity. Rails 8 introduces Solid Cable, a new database-backed adapter for Action Cable that eliminates the need for Redis. In this guide, I'll walk you through Action Cable by way of Solid Cable and show you how to build a real-time feature.
