Insights on Building Better Software

Discover how TanStack Query uses smart caching, background updates, and fewer repeated API requests to create smoother, more responsive mobile applications.

A successful login does not grant access to every record. Learn how to enforce and test authorization for each resource and action.

Not every mobile app needs AI. Priya Gaudani shares a practical framework for deciding when it improves the user experience—and when traditional engineering is the better choice.

There is no single “best” database. The right choice depends on your workload. Ajay Kumar Maurya explores where MySQL, PostgreSQL and ClickHouse each make sense.

Audit history grows quickly, but most searches focus on recent events. Explore a hybrid architecture that keeps recent logs in PostgreSQL and queries older records in Amazon S3 through Athena—all through one API.

The React Native choices that quietly determine how your team builds, releases, and recovers for years — and where EAS actually helps.

How early choices in building software quietly turn into expensive constraints later — and what smart teams do differently.

You've heard it said with total confidence, trusted like it was evidence. It isn't. Here's how a green test suite on one laptop becomes a failed checkout in production — and what reproducibility actually takes.

Modern AI can answer questions, write code, and take actions — but it can't see inside your private database. The Model Context Protocol is the open standard that fixes this, giving AI a safe, consistent way to connect to the systems where your data actually lives.
