With the release of SPFx v1.22, Microsoft introduced Heft as the new build engine, replacing Gulp. This change brings better performance, modern tooling, and a more standardized approach to building SPFx solutions. In this blog, we’ll explore what this means for developers and how to upgrade. What is Gulp in SPFx? In SharePoint Framework (SPFx), […]

This blog explains the process of building a custom search vertical in SharePoint Online that targets a specific list using a dedicated content type. It covers indexing important columns, and mapping them to managed properties for search. Afterward, a result type is configured with Adaptive Cards JSON to display metadata like title, category, author, and […]

Introduction The modernization of legacy applications has always been a costly process: understanding old code, uncovering hidden dependencies, translating communication models (for example, from SOAP to REST), and ensuring that nothing breaks in production. This is where artificial intelligence changes the game. AI does not replace the architect or the developer, but it speeds up […]

In one of my recent Flutter projects, I had to implement a session token mechanism that behaved very differently from standard JWT-based authentication systems. The backend issued a 15-minute session token, but with strict constraints: No expiry timestamp was provided The server extended the session only when the app made an API call Long-running user […]

What is MCP? Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open-source standard for integrating AI applications to external systems. With AI use cases getting traction more and more, it becomes evident that AI applications tend to connect to multiple data sources to provide intelligent and relevant responses. Earlier AI systems interacted with users through Large language […]

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence has sparked a broad spectrum of opinions across society, with strong arguments both supporting and opposing its implementation. On one side, many view AI-driven tools as transformative, bringing remarkable progress to sectors such as healthcare, education, and transportation, while also fueling innovation and research. On the other side, skeptics […]

When using Optimizely Commerce Spire with React 18 or later, developers frequently encounter hydration issues—pages render blank or React shows hydration warnings. This typically occurs when the HTML rendered on the server does not match what React expects on the client. This blog covers: Why hydration issues occur after upgrades The difference between CMS content […]

Creating email templates that render consistently across major email clients (Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo, Apple Mail) is challenging for developers due to differences in rendering engines. Common issues include distorted corners, misaligned text, and inconsistent heights—especially in Outlook, which uses Microsoft Word’s engine. In this article, I’ll show you how to create rounded-corner buttons that work in […]

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 popping up […]

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 […]

1. Why Modern Teams Choose GitHub Migrating from GitLab to GitHub represents a strategic shift for many engineering teams. Organizations often move to leverage GitHub’s massive open-source community and superior third-party tool integrations. Moreover, GitHub Actions provides a powerful, modern ecosystem for automating complex developer workflows. Ultimately, this transition simplifies standardization across multiple teams while […]
