The pace of the industry today is pressuring software developers to build, test, and release software more frequently than ever. To achieve this pace, teams have built two core processes into their workflow: Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment. Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) is a subset of the DevOps workflow that automates application code management and its safe, predictable shipping. In this article, we’ll take a deep dive into CI/CD.

An API is a unique product. There is no presentable UI or outcome a developer can show and market similar to a regular product in the marketplace. The only way to perceive its usefulness is to spend time testing and understanding the value it brings. Given these unique conditions, monetizing an exposed API requires a different approach compared to monetizing other products.

As engineers and architects, we automatically build resilience into platforms as far as possible. But what about the unknown failures? What about the unknown behavior of your platform? The philosopher, Socrates, once said “You don’t know what you don’t know”. What if I could tell you there is a way to turn these unknowns into knowns – a way to understand how your platform will behave to specific failure events…
