This month, we have many exciting announcements to make and features to demo like Codespaces with Qovery, deploy on AWS, organization settings, billing, member management, etc. You do not want to miss it!

Today I want to show you how to build a polymorphic select box in Ruby on Rails. Seems trivial, but it’s not. Let me show you the way and save you some time.

Even seemingly minor math bugs in software code can have outsize consequences.

As I said before, Speed is King. Business requirements for applications and architecture change all the time, driven by changes in customer needs, competition, and innovation and this only seems to be accelerating. Application developers must not be the blocker to business. We need business changes at the speed of life, not at the speed of software development.

Ideally, database queries use the fewest possible resources: time, memory, bandwidth, etc. Lower resource consumption maps to better query performance. To find relevant data in a table, a database query relies on lookup operations, and a table index can help a query efficiently find the table values it needs. With an efficient, well-designed table index, a database query can find the table data it needs, avoiding the need to "scan"—or search through—all the table data.

End-user experience monitoring is a practice designed to track user behavior or actions while interacting with a website or web application. The data gathered by end-user experience monitoring helps measure the impact of website and device performance on the end user’s journey. A meaningful end-user experience can help improve the enterprise’s operational efficiency, troubleshooting processes, employee productivity, and overall business value.

Security vulnerabilities and license violations should be found as early as possible and the earlier in the SDLC , the better. As part of the “ Shift Left ” vision, JFrog CLI and Xray now allow scanning dependencies directly from sources , on-demand, using a simple command line. This functionality allows benefiting from the same JFrog Xray vulnerability and license scanning capabilities, even before deployment to JFrog Artifactory.

There is nothing worse than waking up to an angry customer complaining that your website is failing to accept their payment at checkout. This may be worrying for some since payments not being processed can be equivalent to losing money; however with Tag Spotlight, this should be a relatively quick problem to dissect. The key question here is whether this is an issue that all our customers are facing or an isolated event.

Troubleshooting cloud services and infrastructure is an ongoing challenge for organizations of all sizes. As organizations adopt more cloud services and their cloud environments grow more complex, they naturally produce more telemetry data – including application, system and security logs that document all types of events. All cloud services and infrastructure components generate their own, distinct logs.

One of the best things about getting started with InfluxDB over traditional relational databases is the fact that you don’t need to pre-define your schema in order to write data. This means you can create a bucket and write data in seconds, which can be pretty powerful to developers who care way more about the application they’re building than the mechanics of storing the data.
