Nowadays APIs are the de facto method of communication between services. With all the connections points, setting up environments to efficiently build and test can be difficult. Also, in lower environments, 3rd party APIs can be unreliable, incorrect or non-existent.
Jamstack has brought forward a great way to rethink the infrastructure of modern-day websites. It shows us just how much we can abstract away in the process of serving websites and, as a result, gain tremendous benefits to User and Developer Experience. However, much confusion exists around what kind of websites can actually fall under this classification.
APIOps is the complete end-to-end automation of the API lifecycle, combining DevOps and GitOps. With APIOps, you can enhance your productivity through the reuse of APIs. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through how to:
For the last several years, GitLab has run a major survey about the trends facing the DevSecOps community. This year over 4,000 people responded to the survey, 40% who identified as a Software Developer / Software Engineer. Also about half the survey participants are based in Asia, a major region for Software Developers. One of the biggest trends you will find throughout the survey is how much developers value speed and efficiency.
Here at Ably, we deal with hard engineering problems all the time and pushing at the edges often results in us running up against all sorts of interesting gotchas. We recently made some AWS NLBs fall over, and had a hazardous encounter with Cassandra counter columns. In our day-to-day, we use gRPC for fast and efficient data exchange with mutual client/server state synchronization.
While Kubernetes is a very powerful and comprehensive application, it can also be very complicated and confusing to new users. Thankfully, the community is great at pulling together to try to tame the Kubernetes beasts, and as more users join the platform, more handy tools to help you manage your cluster are developed. Kubernetes Resources range from everyday helper tools to development tools to troubleshooting tools, and in this article we’ll discuss fifteen of the best ones.
APIs are the backbone of digital transformation. Via APIs, you can securely share data and functionality with developers both inside and outside of your organizational boundaries, letting you build applications faster, seamlessly connect and interact with partners, and drive new business revenue. Because APIs encompass business-critical information, any downtime or performance degradation can lead to significant loss in revenue, customers, and brand value.
The Atlanta Startup Podcast is the briefing room for the innovation ecosystem, featuring the investors, founders and activators creating the fastest emerging venture capital ecosystem in the country. Ken Ahrens, founder and CEO of Speedscale sits down with Valor Investor, William Leonard in this episode.
Speedscale was built primarily to provide engineering teams with better insight into their applications over time, replaying single transactions for root cause analysis that give developers and SREs confidence that tomorrow’s application code will work just as well in production as it did yesterday.
