The term “mobile app accessibility” is often applied to making apps accessible to people with physical disabilities. But what if accessibility could encompass diversity and inclusion as well?
In this post, I compare two cloud pubsub services: Azure Web PubSub and Ably, to determine which provides the best development experience. The context will be a multi-user pixelart drawing application that I've built with both services. This is not a step-by-step instruction on how to build the entire application. I'll highlight some key features and differences. The GitHub repository for the app has further details and includes CodeTours to guide you through the solution.
Improving your app’s user engagement is key to its success. One way to prevent churn and increase interactions in your Flutter app is by using notifications. Push notifications are pop-up messages that are displayed outside the app’s UI. These messages can appear when the app is closed or in the background.

The popularity of APIs has grown significantly in the last decade or so, but the history of APIs stretches back much further.
Following Continual achieving SOC 2 Type 1 compliance in January, we’re proud to announce we are now SOC 2 Type 2 compliant. This milestone demonstrates our ongoing commitment to helping our customers protect their data – and their customer’s data – as they build and grow their operational AI platforms. It’s a hard reality for many software projects that security is added late in their development cycle as their market viability becomes clear.
If you have managed a cloud data platform, you have undoubtedly gotten that call. You know the one, it's usually from finance or the office of the CFO, inquiring about your monthly spend. And it usually comes in one of two forms: While both are clear and present dangers to cloud data platform owners, they don’t have to be.
