Most async APIs commit to one thing: starting your job. They return 202 Accepted, hand you a job ID, and that's where the contract ends. The rest is your problem. I do something different. I make one promise: When your job is done, I'll tell you accurately. Until then, I'll keep retrying. That's the entire contract for everything I've ever shipped. It sounds small. In practice, it's the only thing
The Problem If you're like me, you live in your terminal. You've got Docker containers running for databases, Redis instances for caching, microservices doing their thing — and you're constantly context-switching to check on them. # The old way: docker ps docker logs my-app -n 50 docker stats docker inspect some_container # ... back and forth, breaking your flow Now imagine you're working with
We have reached a small but important milestone for DondeGo API. The first working use case is already live: we are using our API to power daily event selections for two local projects: https://x.com/HoyBcn https://x.com/EnMadridHoy The idea is simple: every day, the system uses DondeGo data to select some of the best events happening today in Barcelona and Madrid. Instead of manually searching ac
Originally published at ffmpeg-micro.com You need a thumbnail from a video file. Maybe you're building a video gallery, generating preview images for a CMS, or creating social media cards from uploaded content. The usual advice is to install FFmpeg on your server and write extraction scripts. That works until you need it in production. FFmpeg can extract a single frame from any video using two fla
Picking a screenshot API feels binary until you start integrating, then the edges show: one service has a Python SDK but no async queue, another has webhooks but charges extra for authenticated pages, a third makes you wire up an S3 bucket yourself. This post walks through how Rendershot and Urlbox compare across the dimensions that actually hurt to change later. Upfront: I build Rendershot, so tr
If your team works with geospatial data, sooner or later you need a place where maps, layers, users, and edits live together. There are many capable SaaS platforms and proprietary solutions you can deploy on your own infrastructure, but there is another path: self-hosting an open-source Web GIS server. In this tutorial, we will deploy NextGIS Web on a low-cost VPS using Docker, and then configure
I kept seeing the same GPT Image 2 questions in different places: Is it actually available yet? Is API access live? Does ChatGPT access mean API access too? What will it cost? Can I test image-to-image workflows somewhere? Annoying, but fair questions. Model rollouts are messy. One page says a feature is announced. Another post says it is rolling out. Someone on Reddit says they can see it. Someon
Exemplo mínimo de uso com Bun (baseado na documentação oficial) Aviso: Este exemplo é puramente acadêmico, baseado na documentação oficial do Next.js. Para um ambiente de produção real, ajustes adicionais de segurança, performance e monitoramento são necessários. 1 - Ajustar o next.config.ts para "Standalone": import type { NextConfig } from "next"; const nextConfig: NextConfig = { output: "
