Race conditions are hard to debug—especially when you don't know it's a race condition! This article looks at some common race conditions and the best solutions for handling each one.

The recently released 2.0.7 version for the “Deploy to Bitrise.io - Apps, Logs, Artifacts” Step switched storing artifacts from AWS S3 to Google Cloud Storage, which means improvements in speed, especially for testing and deployment.

API providers need to observe their APIs to get meaningful data about whether and how they are consumed in practice. API observability is a form of monitoring that passively logs API traffic to an observability service. Different from traditional API monitoring, with API observability you: Monitor interactions to improve developer experience Understand how customers use your API Troubleshoot your API Observing REST APIs is well understood and supported, but not every API is a REST API.

One of the most important features of Java is the built-in garbage collector (GC), which automates memory management. The GC is capable of handling the majority of memory leak issues because it implicitly handles memory allocation and freeing. While the GC is capable of handling a significant amount of memory, it does not provide a guaranteed solution to memory leaks. The GC is intelligent, but not without flaws. Even with the most attentive developer's applications, memory leaks can occur.

Bitrise’s Build Insights functionality allows you to track your build and test performance so that you can stay on target and accelerate your build pipelines. In this article, we’ll take a look at the video tutorial series recently released that gives you a first-hand look at Build Insights.

Memory leaks are one of developers’ worst nightmares. They can easily take down a healthy running application within hours if not minutes. It can be difficult to detect some of such leaks since they slowly grow and take over your app’s available memory. On top of it, each programming language manages memory in its own unique ways and hence can leak memory in different ways. Hence proactive measures to identify and prevent such leaks from happening is crucial.

First published on The New Stack. The pandemic has accelerated the shift towards digital channels for banking, retail, and a host of other services. As a result, businesses are shifting their digital transformation initiatives into overdrive in order to meet customer demand for online interactions, which should be both inviting and secure. APIs act as key drivers behind most successful digital enterprises.

An API gateway lets API calls enter and leave to reach their corresponding destination points, better known as microservices, in a system. An API gateway is mainly responsible for routing API calls. Its secondary responsibilities include security, caching, load balancing, rate-limiting, dynamic discovery and routing, management, and scaling the number API calls.

The move to digital technologies has been taking place at a meteoric pace. Many businesses are forced into a position, where they must either deploy new solutions they may not be ready for or risk falling behind the competition. In their efforts to rapidly improve customer experience, enhance internal processes, capitalize on market opportunities, or optimize other operational processes, they often end up taking a more makeshift approach to digital transformation.

As an app developer, your task includes using programming languages to create, test and develop applications on mobile devices. Your tasks also involves coding, designing and troubleshooting. Did you know your arduous job can be simplified using cross-platform development like the React Native framework?
