Want to connect your PI System to Snowflake for real-time analytics? Here's how REST APIs can make it happen. This guide covers everything you need to know, from setting up APIs to automating data workflows, ensuring secure connections, and optimizing performance.

Every year, WSO2Con brings together developers, tech enthusiasts, and IT leaders from around the world to dive into the latest in APIs, identity management, integration, and now AI. It’s a space to learn from keynotes and hands-on sessions, share best practices, and get a first look at what’s new from WSO2. So when people walked into the AI Labs at WSO2Con, they expected to hear about AI agents. What they didn’t expect was to meet one, embodied inside a four-legged robot dog.

Do you have a DB2 database that needs a REST API? Now you can connect to your IBM DB2 with DreamFactory in just a few minutes. In this short blog post I’ll explain how you can connect to DB2 with DreamFactory’s auto-generated REST API for DB2.

Before any software goes live, it must pass its final checkpoint: User Acceptance Testing (UAT). This stage validates the product against real business goals and user expectations, ensuring it’s not just technically correct but also usable in real workflows. In this blog, we’ll explain what UAT is, why it matters, and how to perform UAT testing effectively. Did you know nearly 70% of software projects fail because they don’t meet user needs – not because of coding errors?

In this blog post, we'll talk about the significant challenge of managing and governing a growing number of APIs across multiple teams in an organization — and how Control Plane Groups are a clear solution to avoid the chaos of inconsistent policies and operational bottlenecks. Scaling your API infrastructure is tough. Managing a sprawling landscape of APIs, especially across multiple teams, can feel like an impossible task.

Modern apps, dashboards, and integrations need SQL Server data over HTTP. The safest pattern in 2025 is: expose only what you intend via read-only views, front it with a managed API layer (authn/authz, rate limits, logging), and publish documented REST endpoints. This guide shows a practical, production-ready path with DreamFactory.

Integrations are everywhere, and data-sharing between systems is more vital than ever. Software applications use application programming interfaces (APIs) to ensure all moving parts work together. A REST API follows specific guidelines that dictate how applications or devices connect and communicate with one another to make integrations simple and scalable.
