Many seem to think that the only proper way to create a phone app is by engineering it natively. In this post, I break down why React Native is a great way to build an app.

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

This tutorial will describe how to... install Rust, create a new project and manage dependencies, Set up a simple web server, and compile the app and deploy to a virtual server. I'll be working on Ubuntu 20.04 but most of the setup should be the same on macOS or a different flavor of Linux.

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 create a Hello World application.

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

The challenges discussed in this entry are specifically relevant to individuals that have roles in engineering leadership, user interface architecture, and design systems engineering.
