For the latest full-stack applications to work, a backend service is required. That is especially true when the frontend service depends on the backend service to render data. In many cases, it can be difficult to replicate the setup of the backend services so that you can test the application. This tutorial will show you how to mock HTTP requests from an API so that you can test endpoints without actually calling them in your tests.

Hybrid mobile applications allow you to incorporate web-based content into your mobile offerings. By embedding webviews inside your iOS or Android app, you can repurpose existing code to build key mobile functionality, such as authentication processing or ad rendering. While hybrid apps can help streamline your development process, they can also make monitoring your system more complex.

Going from prototype to production is perilous when it comes to artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). However, many organizations struggle moving from a prototype on a single machine to a scalable, production-grade deployment. In fact, research has found that the vast majority—87%—of AI projects never make it into production. And for the few models that are ever deployed, it takes 90 days or more to get there.

The majority of monitoring and management solutions used in enterprises provide their customers with APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) and a CLI to facilitate DevOps type workflows. With IaC (Infrastructure as Code) becoming de facto and ubiquitous, decent APIs have long been a must have on product evaluation checklists; there are of course a few exceptions – namely products aimed only at SMB (Small and Medium Business), immature startups, or freeware.

In this article you will learn about Node-RED, a popular tool for rapidly gluing together different types of hardware and software. You’ll learn about some of the core concepts of Node-RED and then learn how to make some workflows like storing data from a sensor using an MQTT broker and InfluxDB.

Android Manifest file is essential for any Android app, which contains specific information about your app, Android build tools, Google Play, device permissions, app launch information, operating system config and more. Every Android app must have an AndroidManifest.xml file in the directory structure. Android Manifest usually contains pre-defined or static information which is then used to run the app.
