About Us

Welcome everyone!

For quite some time Herak and I wanted to improve our skills, share with everyone the things that we found interesting in our profession, articles that we came across and articles that we wanted to write.

So we thought: Why not start a blog!? A blog where we can discuss subjects like new tech trends, software development, innovative IT projects /businesses.

And here we are. We hope you'll enjoy reading our posts and provide us feedback. In that way we can improve our blog and share more interesting and informative articles in the future.

Kind regards,

Carlos and Herak

Apple's App Tracking Transparency sealing Meta's fate

If you have been following the recent news on Meta (formerly Facebook) you may have read that Meta recently projected their ad revenue will be cut by a staggering $10 billion in 2022 due to Apple’s new App Tracking Transparency feature (also known as ATT). This has resulted in Meta’s stock to plummet by over 20%. Photo by julien Tromeur on Unsplash - modified by Beolle So what is Apple’s ATT and how does it impact ad revenue? Apple has been releasing multiple privacy features for the last few years. This included Apple’s Mail Privacy Protection and Apple’s App Tracking Transparency feature. You can learn more about Apple’s Mail Privacy Protection in our earlier post by clicking here .  Apple’s App Tracking Transparency (ATT) was launched in iOS 14.5 and iPadOS 14.5 where it prompted users to select if they wanted the app to track their activities across other apps on the device. The prompt is displayed when the user opens an app like Facebook or Instagram for the first time o...

Building MCP with TypeScript

MCP servers are popular these days. We’ve been researching and exploring a few code repos, some where missing modularity, others just not having pieces that we were looking for… therefore we decided to build our own, simple and foundational that could be a starting point for those trying to solve for the similar things we were… and we decided to share it with the community, via our public github. MCP host, server,data sources     Before we start.  Using Typescript and NodeJS was one of our requirements. This proved somewhat challenging because I don't code as frequently these days due to my leadership responsibilities, and I typically prefer working with C# or Python. Colleagues in my tech community have been working with their teams on some of their MCPs going the Python route. Therefore, I said, “I guess we are trying the other route” 😊. One of our reasons to go with TypeScript was due to the need of the integration with APIs, and based on the research, it seems t...

SLA-SLO-SLI and DevOps metrics

Companies are in need of the metrics that will allow them to stay in business by making sure they meet the expectations of their customers. The name of the game is higher customer satisfaction by winning their trust and loyalty. To do so, you want to provide good products and services. Therefore you need to find ways to monitor performance, drive continuous improvements and deliver the quality expected by the consumer in this highly competitive market. Photos from AlphaTradeZone via Pexel and Spacejoy via Unsplash SLAs, SLOs and SLIs are a good way to achieve the above. They allow clients and vendors to be on the same page when it comes to expected system performance. If we go one level deeper, vendors/providers work on NFRs (Non-Functional Requirements) when working on their solutions. NFRs define the quality attributes of a system. I bring them up because the relationship between them and the SLAs is that they provide, in a way, foundational aspects for the SLA-SLO-SL...

Democratizing AI

Democratizing AI is all about empowering others to use it, by making it available to them. Audiences, such as marketers in a company, will be able to access AI capabilities as part of their MarTech solutions, without the need of being technical. It could also be schools, where the younger generations are learning how to use it in responsible, secure, innovative, and creative ways. This is the year where companies, after discovery phases and teams experimenting, are looking to activate and take advantage of the AI advances. Generated with Microsoft Designer   And so, questions emerge, such as “What to democratize when leveraging AI?” There are common scenarios, as well as specific ones, that will depend on the company, and the industry they belong to. A common scenario, seen in many industries, when democratizing data is the data visualization and reporting . In digital marketing, as an example, data scientists and data analysts can automate reporting, making them available to the c...
