API and Data Security: Is It Time to Switch to Kong Insomnia?

Recent leaks have once again brought API and data security concerns into the spotlight. Specifically, the leaks pointed at the following as major areas to consider when thinking through your API and data security strategies: When considering the above, it’s critical to think about best practices across every stage of the API lifecycle, starting with the initial phases of API design and testing.

Tracing, Logging, Metrics: Unifying Observability with OpenTelemetry

Software development has always evolved with new paradigms to meet the growing demands of modern systems. One of the most significant shifts has been the adoption of microservices. Emerging in the early 2010s, this architectural pattern moved away from monolithic applications in favor of smaller, independent services that interact with each other over a network.

Gravitee + Moesif: Unlocking API Observability And Monetization

APIs (application programming interfaces) have transformed how we build modern software systems. As our digital experiences become more modular and interconnected, APIs power mobile apps, partner integrations, and internal services. Most companies now expose APIs not just for technical access, but as part of a larger API business model. But simply deploying APIs through a gateway like Gravitee doesn’t suffice.

Benefits of Developers Using Service Mocks #speedscale #shorts #mocks #servicemocks #programming

Nate Lee discusses the benefits of developers using service mocks, highlighting how they allow teams to simulate APIs and external services during development and testing. This approach enables developers to work independently of backend systems, reduce dependencies, and catch issues early, ultimately improving productivity and software quality.

Aligning API Design to Business Outcomes with James Higginbotham

In this episode, Derric Gilling chats with James Higginbotham, founder of LaunchAny, about designing successful API strategies that drive business value. James dives into his “Align-Define-Design-Refine” (ADDR) methodology, a framework that guides organizations from initial business alignment through iterative API design and deployment. Drawing from over a decade of experience helping companies mature their API programs, he shares practical tips on blending business goals with technical execution, empowering cross-functional teams, and maintaining consistency across the API lifecycle.

Instrumenting Redis in Python with AppSignal

Using AppSignal, you can monitor the performance of your Redis calls and get insights into how your application uses Redis. The AppSignal Python agent supports instrumenting Redis calls out of the box, so you can start monitoring your usage with just a few lines of code. In this post, we will cover how to instrument Redis in a Python application using AppSignal. We will build a simple URL shortener that stores data in a local Redis instance and uses AppSignal to monitor performance.
