5 AI Product Metrics to Track: A Guide to Measuring Success

Not long ago, the thought of Artificial intelligence (AI) products becoming mainstream seemed far off. Fast forward to the widespread adoption of ChatGPT, Gemini, and other large-scale apps, and it’s easy to see that the world has changed drastically. AI isn’t just the future anymore – it’s the present, and every business is hopping on the bandwagon. From chatbots streamlining customer service to algorithms predicting market trends, AI is reshaping how businesses operate.

The Challenges of AI API Monetization

Building and consuming Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) has become an essential skill for developers. APIs are the glue that enables seamless integration and interaction between different software systems, including those that leverage AI. As the demand for artificial intelligence (AI) grows, the monetization of AI APIs has emerged as a critical concern for businesses looking to capitalize on their technological investments. Almost all AI functionality that companies build is exposed as an API.

The Most Prevalent Code Flaws in API Development and How Hackers Exploit Them

- The wide adoption of cloud-native and microservice-based applications to connect applications, data, and devices across the enterprise has led to an exponential growth in APIs. But as the API ecosystem grows, so does the risk of exposing sensitive data. APIs get directly to critical and sensitive data, making them a valuable target for hackers. How can you ensure your APIs are protected from malicious attacks and unauthorized access?

Streamlining Cloud Native App Development in Kubernetes #WordsUnplugged

As Kubernetes adoption grows, effective API management within this ecosystem becomes crucial. The Gateway API specification is a promising solution, addressing the challenges of integrating API management into Kubernetes' declarative, GitOps-driven environment. Although the initial response to the specification has been positive, its full impact and adoption are still unfolding. Vendors must balance the desire for interoperability with the need to differentiate their offerings, navigating complex market dynamics.

How Do You Test a SOAP and REST Service?

REST and SOAP are two critical web services technologies that revolutionize how businesses use APIs. Since APIs are so common, it's important to test them regularly to find vulnerabilities or potential operating problems within the web service. To test a SOAP or REST service, you can use tools like SoapUI or Postman to send requests to the service endpoint, validate responses, and verify that the service behaves as expected under various conditions.
