With Choreo as your internal developer platform, taking your code to production has never been easier without worrying about the complexities needed to run a production-ready system.

The rapid growth of cloud native applications that are smaller, more distributed, and designed for highly dynamic environments has turned API gateways into indispensable intermediaries for driving digital initiatives. At the same time, the emergence of the Kubernetes Gateway API, with support from the Envoy Gateway project, is driving a shift towards standardization and interoperability.

We've said it before and we'll say it again: Visible APIs get reused, not reinvented. Ensuring that developers can easily work with APIs is essential. To make this happen, we need to provide them with clear documentation and helpful resources. That's where SwaggerHub Portal comes in, simplifying the process and making it easier for developers to get the job done.

Android is the most popular operating system in the world, with over 2.5 billion active users across over 190 countries. As a result, the Android ecosystem consists of more than 3.5 million apps – more than double the 1.6 million apps available on iOS. This means fast and seamless app performance has become critical for success.

The retail sector is in a paradigm shift of digital transformation, with an anticipated 25% of global retail poised to migrate online by 2025. APIs facilitate digital-first shopping experiences in this evolving landscape, allowing retailers to swiftly adapt and enhance their systems. They empower retailers to extend services like online orders with in-store pickups, curbside delivery, and personalized online shopping recommendations, catering to remote customers’ preferences.

It was in 2015 that Google first developed gRPC as an extension of RPC(Remote Procedure Call) to link all its microservices. It was a closed tool operated only in their infrastructure then, but later, they opened it to the public, and gRPC has grown since then with community support. Now, it’s part of the CNFC project.

We're delighted to unveil Choreo TestGPT, Choreo's innovative approach to API testing powered by Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) 3.5 large language model (LLM) from Azure OpenAI. This allows users to test APIs running or proxied via Choreo using natural language, serving as a complementary tool to traditional testing methods. It offers a convenient way to quickly test endpoints without delving deeply into API specifications or crafting intricate JSON payloads.

With Choreo's feature that derives direct log insights and observability from data planes, organizations can now prioritize enterprise compliance while delivering essential functionality.

Application Programming Interface (API) is the backbone of the modern world. A lot of the activities you do on digital platforms leverage APIs, and testing those APIs is key to delivering good User Experience in software and applications. If you are trying to test APIs and don’t know where to start, read on and discover 60 test cases for API testing that you can use for references.

This year, we’ve witnessed a significant shift in the tech landscape. Industry giants like Amazon (AWS), Facebook, Twitter, GitHub, and others are embracing GraphQL APIs, both for their internal operations and external interactions. GraphQL, hailed as the SQL for APIs, is more than a query language – It's a runtime that efficiently retrieves data from databases.

By now, those working in software development know what functional tests and end-to-end tests are. They also know test automation is the key to speeding up their development process without compromising software quality. However, visual testing, a set of tests designed to make sure that your app “looks” as intended, is an often-forgotten facet of testing. The good news here is it is easy to start visual testing, especially if you have some pre-existing functional/e2e test scripts.

API testing is easier said than done. When trying to do API testing we often find ourselves in the land of “what-ifs”—what if the third-party services we rely on are down? What if the APIs we need are still under construction? The solution, a Mock API. While this is a powerful approach, to unleash its full potential it is important to implement it correctly. That’s where Katalon steps in.

As we continuously improve Choreo's capabilities, we're excited to introduce a significant new addition: Deployment Tracks. This empowers users to achieve backward-compatible API releases, ensuring a smoother experience for API publishers and API consumers alike. This transition will entail minor user interface (UI) changes in the Choreo console for your existing components.

In the world of software-as-a-service, product-led growth (PLG) is an easy way to enable users to experience the value of a product firsthand, without restrictions. PLG can drive adoption, retention, and sustainable business growth with its robust and open framework. But what drives PLG best, a freemium model or a free trial? With freemium, your top of funnel growth can skyrocket, while free trials see a 2-3x higher conversion rate thanks to urgency (ie, users lose access immediately on trial end).

Near real-time notifications have become a regular feature in modern applications. These notifications inform us about taxi arrivals, food deliveries, prescription availability, etc. Incorporating this experience into modern enterprise applications is crucial to offer users a smooth, simple, and secure experience.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of software development, creating robust and responsive applications is more crucial than ever. Enter ReadyAPI Virtualization. This cutting-edge solution enables developers to simulate and test their applications' performance in a controlled environment, ensuring a seamless user experience. With recent advancements in virtual services, including the integration of transaction history tracking, ReadyAPI is once again revolutionizing the way developers approach testing.
