Why Full Lifecycle API Management Needs API Testing and Monitoring

Development, application, and security leaders are increasingly embracing a full-lifecycle approach to managing internal and public API programs. While distributed teams and a growing remote workforce may build products with different toolchains and infrastructure requirements, one thing that must stay consistent is quality at speed. This means that teams need highly scalable, reliable, and integration-friendly backend API management and testing.

End-to-End API Monetization with The Kong Developer Portal, Stripe, and Moesif

Many API developers and companies struggle to find ways to set up systems to monetize their APIs easily. Some are simple but not customizable, and some are complex and require massive engineering effort to get them all running. To make things easier, the Moesif platform includes Billing Meters which gives massive customizability to API monetization efforts with a minimal amount of code and engineering effort.

Architecture in the Age of APIs

We’re entering an age where many organizations are trying to increase productivity by transforming themselves into digital organizations. Digital organizations are built on top of digital architectures that unlock agility across the enterprise. Agility, which is the ability to respond to changes and new needs fast, enables most of the other advantages such as shorter times to market, better customer experiences, and competitive advantages in the long run.

Optimize Kubernetes Performance Part 1: Cluster Configurations

Kubernetes is a powerful platform that comes with many features to help engineers run their applications more efficiently. However, as you gain more experience and deploy more workloads, you’ll inevitably start looking for ways to optimize Kubernetes performance. There are many ways to approach optimization. On one hand, you could work exclusively with the tools and configurations provided by Kubernetes itself; on the other, you could reap the benefits of third-party tools.

Why Low-Code Application Development Is the Future

Ever since computers started to make their way into the workplace, application development has been a priority for businesses. As a company grows, there is a need for new applications to handle new business processes and make the most of new opportunities. However, the list of custom applications requested can turn into a backlog as you hit the limits of developer resources. To ease this burden, the concept of low-code application development has entered the enterprise.

Service-Oriented Architecture and the Modular Approach to Functionality

Service-oriented architecture, also known as SOA, uses discrete, reusable components that let developers take a modular approach to product design and eliminate monolithic software. SOA functionality tends to meet the needs of organizations that rely on repeat business functions. Instead of building a complete web application to fill a specific need, SOA can reuse components to speed up application development and avoid mistakes.
