AWS tags are key-value labels you can assign to AWS resources that give extra information about it.

There is a better way.

If you've heard a lot about AI and machine learning, but don't understand it, this month's episode is for you.

Migrations allow us to describe how to adjust the data model of an existing database. They make a scripted, surgical change to a database rather than replacing it entirely and blowing away any content changes.

Taking the time to write meaningful comments while providing feedback to your coworkers can go a long way. Yves shares some of the principles he follows to articulate positive criticism during code reviews.

This week we released a Github project called web-blueprint that documents our practices and opinions on web development. If you're a prospective client or hire, our hope is that you'll learn a little bit more about what web engineering at Rocket is all about.

Here are some things that might be useful for someone else who has experience with RX and starts using LiveData for the first time.

Our project began with a small ask: build a small Python back-end using AWS Lambda and API Gateway (with just a handful of endpoints to support a few pages) and use Serverless [https://serverless.com/] to manage the Cloud Formation setup. Not very involved, not much code, not even much configuration for the deploy. Next came authentication. In pursuing the joint dreams of DRTW ("don't reinvent the wheel") and WALCAP ("write as little code as possible"), we selected AWS Cognito over other opti

With DevOps at DEPT, one of our primary goals is to make the life of the developer easier. A specialty of ours is assisting in our customer's deployment process.

Uploading files to S3 directly from the browser is a great way to increase performance by removing the need to process and then re-upload files from your own server.

At DEPT, we use a variety of tools to provision infrastructure in the cloud. In this post, we take a look at some of the reusable patterns we've developed using AWS CloudFormation.

Our mobile devices and the apps that run on them have a unique insight into our lives. We use them for communication, entertainment, shopping, photography, navigation, and myriad other purposes. Consequently, apps have access to a great deal of information about our preferences, our contacts, where we go, what we buy, and who we are. As app developers, we need to be cognizant of the information being handled by our apps and to safeguard it accordingly. The protection of sensitive information is

In this post, I’ll dive into some of the technical challenges of AR as well as our preferred solution, focusing on integrating Unity into an iOS project.

We were recently transitioning a client to use Heroku build pipelines for their Next.js project that handles most business logic through an external API, including authentication and cookie handling. This pipeline uses Heroku's review apps [https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/github-integration-review-apps] as well as separate instances for staging and production environments. The client handled their domains through AWS's Route 53 [https://aws.amazon.com/route53/] DNS service. Pointing thei

To help others as they make their way through this process, we decided to document and release our findings as a FreeRTOS tutorial for developers. Here is how to get started with ESP32 on Linux.

Apple delivered several exciting and innovative new APIs for developers at WWDC this year. You might have heard or read about the SwiftUI and Combine revamp, but I want to address the new world of native WebSockets! The historically complicated connection protocol is now delivered as a first class citizen! Before we dive in on how awesome this is, it's important to have a basic understanding of Sockets and the road we've traveled to reach this point. What is a socket? By definition a socket is

So, you are about to build a new app and you need at least part of it to update in real-time. Well, we live in a modern world so it’s pretty common to have at least a part of the app update without requiring a user interaction or a page (re)load.
