A dedicated software development team is a collaborating model in which a client engages an outsourced team of project managers, software developers, QA testers, and other specialists offered by the software development vendor.

In part 1 we built a Stimulus controller that tests a regex, however, there is a problem with that solution. Ruby and JavaScript regex implementations are slightly different. In our case, we want users to verify their regex using Ruby’s regex implementation. To do that, we need to evaluate the regex on the server side.

Leaders in various industries are embracing digital tools to improve their firms. It could be to begin digital changes, support new remote workforce models, improve customer relations, or automate processes. Fortunately, software is now more widely available than ever. The power of choice, on the other hand, might be overwhelming. Furthermore, your technological decisions can mean the difference between falling behind or staying ahead in your sector.

With the average time between filing a claim and receiving payment approaching 7 weeks or more, the demand for cost-effective and efficient medical billing solutions is unsurprising.

Customer relationship management is critical in any firm. This is what enables entrepreneurs to facilitate interactions that ultimately convert leads into paying consumers. The processes involved in CRM efforts, on the other hand, can be rather tedious.

We’re building an app that requires users to input a regex. We’d like to build a feature that gives users the ability to test their regex, before saving. The feature will work a lot like Rubular. Users will be able to test their regex against various strings.

During a recent Rails 5 -> 6 upgrade we encountered an ES6 bug. Here’s the error message:

Rails 5 uses 't' and 'f' to represent booleans, in SQLite databases, because there is no native boolean support. In Rails 6, the behaviour changed to represent booleans as 1 or 0.

There are 4.4 million apps available on both the Appstore and Google Play, aimed at the world’s 14 billion mobile phones. If you want to create a mobile app, one of the most crucial decisions you must make is whether to use native or cross-platform mobile development.

When you’re scrolling through your favorite mobile apps on your phone or browsing through your favorite website, it’s easy to forget that many of them started the same way… with a simple idea that evolved over time.

During the process of upgrading a Rails 5 staging app to Rails 6, we encountered a few errors, caused by running on a subdomain. The homepage rendered correctly, however, the Omniauth sign in button caused an error.

Database performance is a crucial factor that dictates the overall performance of your application. This article will look into ways that can be useful in identifying some database performance issues, and testing database performance.

Individuals in almost any industry appreciate when a product or service can be personalized. That sentiment holds true in the field of information technology as well. As a result, custom software development has arisen to meet this need.

Capistrano can deploy from various code hosting platforms. GitHub is one of the most popular hosting platforms and allows you to clone repos with SSH or HTTPS. This guide focuses on HTTPS. To deploy via HTTPS you’ll need a Personal Access Token, this guide explains how Personal Access Tokens are created and why they’re used in place of passwords.

Nginx is a popular web server for Rails apps. Typically you’d have one Nginx file per application. However, you may want to run multiple Rails apps on a single server, for rapid prototyping. In this case, you can make do with a single Nginx file.

Rails 7.0 brings a lot of improvements to the table.

Query scheduling is a feature of Rails that allows you to control the order in which database queries are executed.

SQLite is very useful for rapid prototyping. It’s commonly used locally but it can also be used on remote servers. If you’re using Capistrano to manage server deployments then you’ll need to handle SQLite’s database file.

Whilst upgrading a Rails 5 app to Rails 6 (the Rails 7 upgrade is soon to follow) we discovered an issue when running the app in production mode:

We recently upgraded a Rails 5 app to Rails 6 (the Rails 7 upgrade is soon to follow) and discovered render file no longer works with erb files. The app was using render file to display a custom 401 error page, with dynamic content:

We recently updated a Rails app from Omniauth 1 to 2. We did some research and used the Omniauth upgrade wiki. It looked complicated but in the end, there were only two changes required.

We’ve been working on upgrading a project to Rails 7. The app hadn’t been updated in a while, and it was running Ruby 2.6 and bundler 1.17. In order to do the Rails upgrade we had to do three things: Update Ruby, update Bundler & update Rails.

Rails 7.0 has introduced two methods sole and find_sole_by that are used to query the database for a unique record based on the provided constraints. Assertions are one of the most useful tools in Ruby, and they’re even more useful when you use them to test your application’s data. By asserting that the data you got back from an object or collection is what you expect, you can ensure that your code works as expected.

Adding an additional security layer in an application that handles sensitive data is definitely a necessity. Rails 7.0 introduces at-work encryption for sensitive attributes which protects against the exposure of personal information in the event a malicious party gains access to the database and is in a position to get a snapshot of it, as well as that of the application logs. The addition of encrypted attributes in ActiveRecord models is an extraction from HEY.

Ruby 3.1 ships with an entirely new rewritten debugger. Prior to this change, Ruby bundles lib/debug.rb that unfortunately was not maintained well. debug.gem is an entirely new replacement with great features that developers are sure to enjoy.
