We dare you to go to your mobile device and search for a health and wellness app already installed. Truth is, even if you did not actually download it, your operating system most likely came with at least one app like that. Now, you might have chosen to delete such an app, in which case, we lost the dare. But it does not deny the fact that your mobile device, the very one that lets you shop, communicate, work, or travel, has just as much potential to assist in your well-being.

There is a scene in a certain TV show in which a middle-aged man tells a younger one that he missed picking someone up from the train station because his device did not remind him about it. The younger man points out that, since he bought a new device, he must transfer the appointments.

There is an undeniable truth that nobody can unsee: 2020 accelerated the digitalization of the world like no other time in the past. Individuals shifted en masse to interact, shop, play, learn, and even go to the doctor online. On the same note, organizations migrated internal and customer-facing operations to a digital realm, regardless of their size, location, or goals.

2020 has been a bizarre year for all of us. As a fully remote team from 18 countries, we had the unique chance to be informed about the progress and changes to the daily life in many different locations. Two things that are common across the board are how digitalization of many rather traditional industries skyrocketed and how our behavior as consumers shifted.

An application performance monitoring (APM) tool allows users to monitor and track the performance of certain web applications or a software, in order to identify and solve any performance issues that may arise.

But at the very crux of the customer experience is the product itself, since the difference between a good product and a great product can mean life or death for a company.

We have had the honor of working with some of the world’s largest brands over the course of 7 years, helping them improve customer experiences in their digital products with the power of data. There are two things we believe from heart, the reasons why Countly exists: Today, with my great pleasure and Team Countly hard at work for the past 8 months for this day, we are introducing the brand new Countly 20.04.

Most of the open source projects do not get enough eyeballs just because the authors are not really interested in, capable of, or don’t have time to build a good documentation environment for their API and product documents. However, it doesn’t matter how good your software is, because if the documentation is not good enough, people will not use it.

In reality, the situation is a little more complex. Cloud servers — no matter how fast — always come with a performance cost. In addition, many companies have significant concerns over the security and privacy of the open-source software that powers many popular cloud platforms. That’s why the optimum approach for most companies is to use a combination of cloud and on-premises servers. There are many advantages of on-premises vs.

With Remote Config — sometimes also referred to as “Feature Flags”, you can make several tweaks, online, without spending several hours or days for an update. You simply define parameters in the Remote Config interface and set default values for these parameters in your application. Then, you just change the values in the Countly Remote Config UI whenever you need, which will be visible on the app behaviour, without the need to redeploy to application stores.
