OTA for Embedded Linux Devices: A practical introduction

A core belief of Memfault is that we can ship faster when we have good infrastructure in place. An essential piece of this infrastructure is tools to send firmware updates over the air. It enables the team to ship more often and spend more time building features. In this article, we look specifically at what is required to ship over-the-air firmware updates for Linux systems. A good OTA setup should allow you to quickly prepare updates and ship them with confidence.

The Importance of an API Observability Pipeline for SaaS Tools

Third-party APIs and cloud based software as a service (SaaS) tools have become a cornerstone of modern enterprises. It is essential to monitor log data and optimize API performance. This will ensure that development teams provide the desired advantages to clients and users. To address this challenge, businesses can use an observability pipeline. It is a set of tools and processes that monitor and analyze data from various sources. That includes third-party APIs and SaaS tools.

Facing the FinTech: How Remote Support Can Help Banks Compete

Banks are facing stiff competition from FinTech firms. When most people think of this head-to-head battle, they likely assume that the differentiator is technology.

What Android Enterprise means for MDM

With over 2.5 billion users, Android enjoys a dominant 85% market share in the mobile operating space. It does have one glaring weakness however: enterprise. Most businesses still favor iOS, the operating system of Apple devices like the iPhone and iPad. As part of Google’s bid to secure more of the enterprise market, Android Enterprise is a software platform that provides application programming interfaces (APIs) to developers who build MDM solutions.

How MDM Can Protect Against Generative AI Mishaps on Digital Displays

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is defining 2023. Numerous tech companies, including OpenAI and Google, have put out large language models (LLM) that can be used by consumers directly, or integrated into other products via an application programming interface (API). Many companies are rushing to include generative AI into new or existing products. Some are even doing so in customer touchpoints, such as digital kiosks.
