With headlines like "AI is Killing Web Development" featured everywhere, you might wonder if you should be replacing people with AI for your next web development project.

My answer: No, but you can use AI to help a little bit.

In the fast-paced world of software development, where rapid iteration and delivery are key, the concept of a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) has gained significant traction. An MVP allows developers to introduce a basic version of their product to market quickly, gathering invaluable feedback and insights from users. However, while speed is essential, the importance of thoroughly testing an MVP cannot be overstated. One critical aspect of testing, especially for an e-commerce MVP site, is load testing. In this article, we will delve into the significance of load testing for MVP success and introduce k6, a powerful tool that can help ensure the stability and performance of your e-commerce MVP.

In the ever-evolving world of web development, choosing the right framework is a pivotal decision that can significantly impact the success of your project. With a plethora of options available, it's essential to make an informed choice that aligns with your project's requirements, goals, and long-term scalability. 

One popular option is Ruby on Rails, often simply referred to as ‘Rails’, a powerful and elegant web development framework that’s been winning the hearts of the developer community since its inception over 20 years ago. This is the framework that JetRockets uses to build award-winning web and mobile apps for our clients, and it’s also the framework the likes of Airbnb and Shopify are built on. 

AI has been around in one way or another for decades. But in its current form, AI is a brand new field, with countless untapped possibilities.

These concerns are justified, but given how new modern AI technology is, few industry-wide standards exist to determine how to responsibly develop and use AI.
