In the ever-evolving realm of data analytics, software integration, and end-user development, it’s no surprise that the market is inundated with a multitude of products vying for attention. As a potential client recently pointed out, distinguishing one product from another…
In Composable’s DataFlow Designer, we’re always looking for ways to make learning how to build powerful DataFlow Applications quicker and easier. We already offer some great resources, including sample DataFlows that show exactly how Modules can be used and tutorials here on…
In this post, we will go over how Composable solves the problem with updating Modules, while avoiding breaking-changes to callers. Versioning is a tough problem. When code takes a dependency on your interface, and you need to update it ……
I recently came across a scenario where I needed to do some maintenance on a client’s instance through our APIs. This particular Composable instance has Windows Authentication enabled, but also has a Forms Authenticated admin account on it. Since Windows Authentication…

Here at Composable, we use Slack for most of our day-to-day communications among the team; but much of the benefit of Slack comes from using its fairly robust API to have various other webapps and programs interact with or post…
When you’re working with lots of data, few tools are more useful than a powerful querying language like SQL. The ability to isolate the data you’re looking for, make useful transformations, and generate statistics can be the difference between gaining genuine insights and being…
Those who have used the <ScriptManager> tag in an ASP.NET application know it to be one of ASP’s stronger features. Using ServiceManager to generate AJAX code allows you to hit a WCF endpoint with minimal effort, and avoid nasty serialization…
I started to think more about the data prep and cleansing use cases, and why someone would choose to develop those as Composable Dataflows versus using something like Python scripts. Yes, either one will get the job done, but there are…
