TechTok: Driving Growth with Engagement Automation for Mobile Applications
What are the biggest challenges for mobile app developers? And why does success with mobile remain so elusive?
At this month’s TechTok, Streethawk CEO, David Jones, will be answering some of these questions. He’ll be talking to us about how top apps use engagement automation to drive growth, focusing on virality, look-a-likes & referral programs as well as big recurring issues including:
• User retention
• Cost of paid acquisition
• Why referral growth has been constrained until now
• Onboarding and engagement tactics
TechTok catch up – Changing the face of robotics
At this month’s TechTok, the team from Revolve Robotics came along to talk about all things robots: how robotics have changed and continue to do so, the evolution and potential of telepresence robots, as well as how you can leverage the OpenTok platform and Kubi robotics capabilities to build powerful and engaging telepresence robots.
Revolve Robotics CTO, Ilya Polykov, and CEO, Marcus Rosenthal spoke about their integration of OpenTok and Kubi. If this is something you are working on or are interested in, check out their API. If you’re developing an app based on the OpenTok platform and want to use Kubi, this API will help you make this happen in a matter of days.
If you’re interested in buying your own Kubi robot, you can get $100 off your online purchase using the promo code ‘tokbox’ at checkout for a limited time only.
TechTok: Application Security’s Last Mile – The Future is Reactive
2015 is notable in the number of sites that have been compromised by hackers, and the outlook continues to look grim. Companies have been rushing headlong into putting services online, prioritizing functionality above all. Up-time and scale, which has plagued early the early internet, while still a challenge, has improved significantly; however, security failures continue to get worse. This calls for a new approach. Application Security has been focused on vulnerability prevention, and static controls. In a world of continuous delivery, security needs to be continuous. In a world where hackers act faster than companies can patch, security needs to be adaptive, and responsive. What’s missing is defending the Application in production. This is Application Security’s Last Mile, and will be the focus of this talk.
TechTok: Designing Your Data Warehouse
Your data warehouse is the core of your analytics setup. Whether you’re collecting events or ETLing from a prod replica, your warehouse needs to be organized to make analysis queries fast and easy.
Fast data analysis requires using the right schema design for your data and taking advantage of the performance features in modern data warehouses like Redshift.
Join us at this month’s TechTok, where Tom O’Neill from Periscope Data will discuss how Redshift uses distributed data and columnar storage to speed up query execution, as well as how to leverage these optimizations in your schema design. You can find out more about the event and register to attend here.
TechTok catch up – Designing Your Data Warehouse
At November’s TechTok, Tom O’Neill, CTO of Periscope Data , gave us some ideas about how to design data warehouses. Tom focused on how Redshift uses distributed data and columnar storage to speed up query execution, as well as how to leverage these optimizations in your schema design.

TechTok: WebRTC Codec Wars- Rebooted
Just when we thought we were done with the video codec wars in WebRTC – we found out we’re only just beginning.
In the past several weeks we’ve seen the names Thor, Daala, VP9 and H.265 thrown in the news as potential candidates to replace our current generation of video codecs. How is that going to play out, and where are we headed with all this?
