As automation capabilities grow, so do the related use cases. It’s not surprising that 80% of executives think automation can be applied to any business decision, according to a Gartner survey. But as implementation becomes easier and automation adoption more prevalent, your organization can quickly lose control, with too many automation projects happening in silos.

If you think workflow orchestration sounds like tech jargon, check out this simple explanation and consider practical advice for how to apply it to your business processes. Let’s start with the basics: what is workflow orchestration? Put simply, workflow orchestration is the end-to-end management of people, digital workers, systems, and data in a process.

Struggling with API issues? API observability may have the solution. It reveals the critical insights that hide within API metrics, logs, and traces, offering you the power to diagnose and fix problems swiftly. In this article, we detail what API observability is, how it benefits your systems, and the ways it supersedes traditional monitoring to keep your digital services operating at peak performance.

When two different software applications want to join forces by sharing information, it’s not always a perfect union. Different database structures, programming languages, and network protocols tend to complicate the process. When reading about the various API technologies, you’ve probably come across two terms, OData vs REST, and wondered, “what’s the difference?” It turns out that OData vs. REST are two closely related concepts.

Nowadays, businesses need to integrate with various applications and services to streamline operations and improve customer experience. Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) play an important role in enabling this integration by letting different software systems to communicate and share data. API integration platforms are the key to maximizing the potential of your APIs.

A few weeks ago, Apple hosted its annual developer conference WWDC 2024, and made many announcements that will impact the mobile developer ecosystem. ‍ In a previous blog, we outlined the three top high-level announcements. In this post, we are diving into what’s new for two very important components of iOS- Xcode 16 and the App Store Connect.

One of the new features of Xcode 16 is called "explicitly built modules". Behind this abstract name is something that makes builds faster and compiler errors more informative. As this is enabled by default for C and Objective-C code, you can experience some of the benefits instantly, but it can also be enabled for Swift code as an experimental feature. In this post, we'll explore how this feature works and the benefits it brings to projects that adopt it.

As programmers we know that, despite our best efforts, we’ll never be able to completely eliminate errors from our apps. The sheer complexity of modern apps, not least the reliance on dynamic (often third-party) inputs, means errors are inevitable and error handling (exception handling) is crucial to user experience.

What is a possible API strategy and why is it critical to your business’s success? An API strategy encompasses planning, executing, and managing APIs to enhance interaction between applications and services. Focused on aligning technology with business goals, it improves end-user experiences, fosters innovation, and drives growth. By integrating an API strategy into your digital transformation efforts, businesses can achieve significant advancements.
