Innovation + Product Development

#1. Introduction If you’re knee-deep in building apps, you already know APIs are the backbone of everything. Testing them? That’s where the real magic happens. For years, we’ve relied on tools like Postman and Insomnia to send requests, debug issues, and keep things running smoothly. But lately, there’s a buzz about something new: Bruno. It’s […]

The adoption of microservice‑based architectures has grown exponentially over the past decade, often driven more by industry trends than by a careful evaluation of system requirements. This phenomenon has generated unnecessarily complex implementations—like using a bazooka to kill an ant. Distributed architectures without solid foundations in domain capabilities, workloads, operational independence, or real scalability needs […]

Brainstorming sessions have a love-hate situation. Half the team is excited, the other half dreads it. The truth is, anyone can be creative, but it doesn’t happen by accident – it takes intentionality. The key is preparation. If people show up cold, they’ll default to routine thinking or recycle old ideas. To break free, our […]

Introduction When I started investigating the React Native upgrade from 0.72.7 to 0.82, my initial goal was simple:   Check breaking changes and library compatibility. But very quickly, I realized this upgrade was not just a version bump. It was deeply tied to React Native’s New Architecture, especially Fabric UI Engine and TurboModules.  This blog shares what I discovered, […]

Moments of currency change are where fortunes are made and lost. In January 2026, Bulgaria will enter one of those moments. The country will adopt the euro and officially retire the Bulgarian lev, marking a major euro adoption milestone and reshaping how investors, banks, and global firms manage currency risk in the region.

At the Healthcare Interactive Conference (HCIC) last month, I got to talk to marketers who are very focused on results. They are also very focused on what will impact their marketing efforts and why. Every conversation came back to AI. In my previous HCIC takeaway, I wrote about how AI is not a strategy—it’s a […]

Reflecting on this year’s InsureTech Connect Conference 2025 in Las Vegas, one theme stood out above all others: the insurance industry has crossed a threshold from AI experimentation to AI expectation. With over 9,000 attendees and hundreds of sessions, the world’s largest insurance innovation gathering became a reflection of where the industry stands—and where it’s […]

Why Do We Need to Secure Our Applications?   Cloud environments are very dynamic and interconnected. A single misconfiguration or exposed API key can lead to:   Data breaches  Compliance violations  Costly downtime  Attackers often target application-level weaknesses, not just infrastructure gaps. If any application handles sensitive data, financial transactions, or user credentials, security is critical.  […]

In recent years, the evolution of React Server Components (RSCs) has signaled a dramatic shift in the way developers approach front-end architecture. By moving key rendering tasks to the server, RSCs promise not only to reduce the size of client-side JavaScript bundles but also to improve initial load times and overall user experience. This article […]

React 19 was released on 25 April 2024 and it is based out of React 18. This release introduces major improvements and removes some features to enhance developer experience and application performance. Migrating is a straightforward approach, but you need to watch for removed features. In this blog, I share my experience in migrating React […]

Whether it’s generating weekly reports, organizing files, processing large amounts of data, or interacting with web applications, automation helps individuals and companies operate more efficiently. Among all programming languages used for automation, Python is one […]

For years, developers have debated whether PHP is on its way out. With newer languages gaining traction, the question persists: Is PHP dead? The reality is more complex. PHP remains a cornerstone of web development, but its role has shifted as competitors emerge. PHP by the Numbers 74% of websites with a known server-side language […]
