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.

See how Fivetran, dbt, and Google Cloud create the fresh, traceable, and well-governed data foundation AI agents need to deliver reliable business insights.

From dbt Core v2.0 to AI-powered connectors, Fivetran and dbt unveil joint product innovations that help data teams build open, scalable, AI-ready infrastructure.

For years, enterprise infrastructure treated security, storage, networking, and compute as mostly separate operational layers. Disruptive technologies tend to blur those lines. We saw this with backup and recovery, virtualization, and now with AI.

It's the day before your POC, and the embedded analytics demo still looks like it belongs to someone else. Your designer handed over a brand guide last week. Your developer has been buried in CSS variables ever since: cross-referencing token names, mapping changes across components, reloading the page after every tweak to see what broke. The UI is almost right. The nav color is close. The typography still isn't matching, but there's no time left.

This post is the second in our "Features Sitting Idle" series, where we explore key OctoPerf features that are either misused, misunderstood, or simply unknown to most users. The question comes up every iteration, and yet teams usually handle it the same way: export two reports, open a spreadsheet, and compare numbers manually. It works, but it doesn't scale. After three or four sprints, no one wants to open another spreadsheet.

Learn how to use Connected Sheets to analyze governed BigQuery data warehouse from a familiar Google Sheets interface.

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.

There is a shift happening in a previously quiet corner of the open source community. You may have experienced this in your own Android builds with an HTTP 429 ("Too Many Requests") error during dependency resolution from Maven Central. Over a period of a few days in late April to early May 2026, a subset of Bitrise users experienced these errors. Here's what happened, what we did about it, and what it means for you.
