Efficient and consistent REST API naming conventions can streamline your development process and make navigating your API easier for developers. This guide will look at what’s needed for creating intuitive and consistent endpoint names, REST API naming conventions and best practices, and how to avoid common errors. Let’s begin by taking a quick refresher on some of the basics of REST API endpoints.

While working on an application that required executing a command to run a blocking program, such as a TCP/HTTP server, I encountered an interesting challenge. I needed a way to stop the application and its child processes when a signal was sent to the main program, such as SIGINT (Ctrl+C) or SIGTERM. This blog post shares my journey and the solutions I found to manage processes effectively in a Go application, focusing on Linux environments.

If the term “API” puzzles you and you feel lost in a world of tech talk, this guide is for you. APIs, or application programming interfaces, act as the language that allows different software applications to talk to one another. Imagine you’re ordering a coffee at a cafe; the API is like the waiter who takes your order to the barista and then brings your coffee to you.

Before immersing yourself in this tutorial, it’s best to ensure you’ve got the following prerequisites.

In this blog, we will demonstrate how to get the code coverage data for each incoming request on a python web server built using any web framework.

Whether you’re building a web application, a mobile app, or any other software product, integrating with third-party APIs is almost inevitable. But what happens when you need to test your application’s behavior without relying on these external services? That’s where the magic of simulation comes in handy. In this blog, we’ll explore how you can simulate responses effectively, even if the actual service isn’t available.
