We’re thrilled to share some exciting news from the Claris community. Claris has launched the Claris MVP program, a new initiative recognizing the developers, mentors, and advocates who go above and beyond to help the community thrive.

Combining functions, features, or steps in creative new ways can deliver productive results. FileMaker’s file-based script steps give us the ability to perform imports natively on FileMaker Server, with no configuration or changes needed.

If you’ve used an object‑oriented language for a while, you’ve probably run into the SOLID acronym. It’s a mnemonic for a set of principles that aren’t magic, but they consistently lead to code that scales.

For nearly a decade, Beezwax has offered apprenticeships for software engineering and coding school graduates, creating opportunities to gain professional training and real-world experience in software development and consulting. The program includes intensive training in FileMaker and AI followed by client project work. Beezwax values diverse backgrounds and provides mentorship to foster continuous learning and career growth.

You are six months into a typical Next.js project. Your server components are fetching data directly from the database, your API routes are importing your ORM directly, and your business logic is scattered between page.tsx files and route handlers.

A brilliant LLM that can't actually do anything in your business systems is just a chatbot. At Beezwax, we've been building AI agents on top of n8n, which handles orchestration and helps keep the focus the results on business.

Everyone’s talking about AI agents. But making them actually useful in a business context — not just a clever demo — requires more than a chat prompt.

Nowadays the web development landscape is so large and complex, it’s impossible to expect new developers to know the full scope of web development from end to end.

Let's evaluate better methods for generating and modifying large sample data sets (over 1 GB) in a FileMaker solution, when custom functions are ineffective for data greater than 10K characters. Improved methods included using FileMaker’s Get (UUID), or using JavaScript or Python, resulting in faster execution times and increased character limits, ultimately showcasing superior performance for larger data sets.

Fast-growing teams often struggle to find suitable internal tools, balancing between inadequate spreadsheets and cumbersome enterprise platforms. Beezwax offers a hybrid approach that fuses flexibility, modern web technologies, and AI. These solutions cater to diverse organizational needs, promoting streamlined workflows, improved data management, and quicker adaptability to scaling challenges.

When you run Recovery (File->Recover…) on a FileMaker database file, everything checked and any errors are logged in the Recovery.log file.
