Ably Releases New Python SDK to Enable Realtime Functionality

LONDON — July 11, 2023 — Ably, a Realtime Experience Infrastructure provider, today announced the release of a new Python Realtime SDK component that enables developers to integrate realtime functionality into their Python-based services, such as channel subscription and authentication via tokens.

Many developers today build server-based applications with Python, using REST functionality to publish data. While other languages may be better suited for client applications, there are scenarios where having a Python-based realtime capability can be advantageous, such as when two backend services need to exchange data before delivering it to an end-user application. While the existing Python SDK supports publishing to Ably channels, the new Python Realtime SDK allows developers to subscribe to realtime data through a persistent WebSocket connection with Ably. Developers can subscribe to channels, authenticate via tokens, and secure connections to ensure reliable data delivery, eliminating workarounds.

Take a financial data company that publishes realtime data from its server-side applications (highly volatile, e.g., stock prices). They publish this data to their customers, via Ably, who use it to provide a service to end users. However, these customers also have a Python-based server-side application (running ML algorithms) that needs to subscribe to data in realtime. This is now possible using the Python Realtime SDK to create a persistent connection with Ably.

“Python has become an essential tool in many industries due to its ease of use, flexibility, and vast library of pre-built modules,” said Matthew O’Riordan, CEO, Ably. “By providing an easy-to-use solution for integrating realtime functionality into Python backend services, Ably is helping developers to streamline their development processes and deliver high-quality, realtime experiences to their customers.”

Ably is a platform that offers dependable infrastructure at scale and APIs to enable shared and collaborative experiences. With Ably, developers from thousands of companies can effortlessly integrate customizable realtime experiences into their applications without having to manage or provision complex infrastructure themselves.

The Python Realtime SDK is available via PyPI. As an improvement to Ably’s existing SDK, Python developers can add ably-python as a dependency to their projects, similar to how they do today.

Difference between Web Designer and Web Developer Neeraj Mishra The Crazy Programmer

Have you ever wondered about the distinctions between web developers’ and web designers’ duties and obligations? You’re not alone! Many people have trouble distinguishing between these two. Although they collaborate to publish new websites on the internet, web developers and web designers play very different roles. To put these job possibilities into perspective, consider the construction of a house. To create a vision for the house, including the visual components, the space planning and layout, the materials, and the overall appearance and sense of the space, you need an architect. That said, to translate an idea into a building, you need construction professionals to take those architectural drawings and put them into practice. Image Source In a similar vein, web development and design work together to create websites. Let’s examine the major responsibilities and distinctions between web developers and web designers. Let’s get going, shall we? What Does a Web Designer Do?

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are declaring 20
