Unleashing the Power of Lightning Web Components in Pulsar: A Game-Changer for Salesforce Developers
In alignment with Luminix’s commitment to adopting the latest technological advances and responding quickly to customer feature requests, we bring you a preliminary look into a new feature. A future release of Pulsar could introduce an innovative feature to revolutionize developers’ work with Lightning Web Components (LWC). In the future, developers could compile, bundle, and deploy LWCs to run disconnected within Pulsar …
Introducing Pulsar 12.0
In the dynamic business world, staying connected and efficient is more than a necessity – it is a lifeline. That is why we are thrilled to announce the launch of Pulsar 12.0, the latest version of our groundbreaking mobile app. This release incorporates the latest technology to ensure that you can efficiently take your Salesforce and Cloud data offline and stay in the loop, no matter where you are …
Coming Soon! Pulsar 12.0 – Reimagined for Future Innovation
For the last 12 years after we first developed and deployed the Pulsar for Salesforce application in 2011, the Luminix team continued to listen to customer feedback, improved existing features, and added the most-requested features. Like many other mature software companies, Luminix must periodically pause and reassess how the software is performing and review our development process. Given that premise, it was time for the Pulsar for Salesforce application to be thoroughly rearchitected and rewritten to leap forward a decade and use the latest and greatest technologies and best developer practices …
An Entrepreneur’s Tale by Geetha Vallabhaneni
As we celebrate the 10th year of Luminix, a few people have asked me to share my story and how I managed to build and grow a stable and sustainable company without any outside help or capital. It strikes me as odd that I never sat down to put words to my story. For someone who believes in the need for stories and myths, it is kind of odd to leave their own story unspoken. I think I know why now …
We benchmarked Pulsar sync times. Verdict? The algorithm scales and performs beautifully!
One of the critical concerns for anyone dealing with Offline Synchronization is scaling. How much data can you download and how fast? The scope and complexity of the problem quickly escalates if you are dealing with mobile devices as the offline store. It is very typical for our enterprise customers to have large amounts of data and they expect the users to have access to this without interruption no matter whether they are online or offline. Our internal tests proved that the algorithm scales really well but we also had a chance to measure real sync times from some of our customers with real world scenarios (people with spotty 3G connection to robust WiFi times). We decided to publish some of those numbers since they are very very impressive! …
Hunting for native stack traces in an app written in C# but uses C++ libs
Forgive us for being a little too geeky with this post but this has been a sticky issue that caused a lot of heartburn with our engineering team lately, so we have decided to share what we found. And to reinforce that old notion, there is light at the end of that coding tunnel after all! First, a refresher. Our Pulsar for Salesforce mobile offline app has been available on Android and Windows app stores for a few months now. We used Xamarin platform to develop the app, so that it would run natively on both platforms. The language of choice for this environment is C# but we were able to reuse the core pieces of our dev work on the iOS app in the form of C++ dynamic libraries …
