How to set up usage-based billing with Stripe and Moesif for your API

A good business model is one that can easily generate revenue. Often, when developers build something it could easily be packaged and used by another organization. This is extremely true when it comes to APIs. If an API is solving a well-known problem, there is likely a market for it. Being able to expose an API for public consumption can be done in many ways, a popular option being using an API gateway. The real hurdle comes when you decide to start billing for usage.

Stored Procedures: Native API/Native Code vs SourcePro DB

In the previous article, we walked through an example of how to use input parameter binding to send data to a MySQL database using the native MySQL C API and then compared that to the clean simplicity of using the SourcePro DB API.

Build Serverless APIs with Node.js and AWS Lambda

Servers do exist in a serverless world, but they are completely managed by the cloud provider, allowing developers to focus on packaging their code for deployment.

It Is Not Technology Versus Business; It Is Technology AND Business

Last year, my friends at Appian commissioned some research through the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), Financiers ridden with technical debt.
