High-scale, high-frequency messaging and burst activity can lead to significant costs and performance challenges for realtime applications. To help with this, we’ve introduced server-side batching and conflated subscriptions—two powerful optimizations in Ably Pub/Sub that significantly reduce message count, lower bandwidth usage, and optimize processing overhead. These features allow you to process high-frequency updates more efficiently without sacrificing accuracy, reliability, or latency.

AI is quickly transforming the way businesses operate, turning what was once futuristic into everyday reality. However, we're still in the early innings of AI, and there are still several key limitations with AI that organizations should remain aware of to ensure that AI is being leveraged in a safe and productive way.

The excitement around large language models (LLMs) and agentic AI is justified. These systems can summarize, generate, reason, and even take actions across APIs — all with minimal human input. However, as enterprises race to integrate LLMs into real-world workflows — especially when those enterprises operate in regulated environments and/or deal in sensitive data — one fundamental question looms large.

Today, we’re excited to unveil Kong AI Gateway 3.10! This release introduces new functionality to enhance AI governance, reduce LLM hallucinations, and accelerate developer productivity when working with AI. Read on to learn more.

When people think about website design best practices, often the first things that come to mind are flashy visuals, stunning animations, and captivating aesthetics. But in reality, a far more intricate science is behind creating a successful and impactful website. A study conducted by Stanford University has found that 75% of users make judgments about a company's trustworthiness based on how their website looks.

When it comes to creating software, testing is essential to the development process and should never be overlooked. Without proper testing, companies risk releasing buggy and unstable software which can lead to a number of consequences, such as dissatisfied customers and loss of revenue. In 2020, online video conferencing platform Zoom was met with some serious problems when bugs, flaws and hacking vulnerabilities came into light.

Software systems are becoming more complex and interconnected every day, and as a result, effective testing is more important than ever.

Libuv is one of the most crucial components behind Node.js, yet many developers aren't fully aware of its role in enabling asynchronous I/O operations. As a high-performance, cross-platform support library, Libuv is at the heart of event-driven programming in Node.js, but its impact extends far beyond that. Santiago Gimeno is a Libuv maintainer and Senior Software Architect at NodeSource.
