Systems | Development | Analytics | API | Testing

APIs and AI are on a collision course. For decades, APIs have been the foundation of digital reliability: deterministic systems where you send a request, get a predictable response, and trust that what’s defined is what will happen. AI doesn’t play by those rules. Large language models and AI agents operate in probabilities. They don’t just follow contracts; they interpret them. They learn, infer, and sometimes hallucinate.

When managing Docker containers, effective logging is essential for troubleshooting, monitoring, and ensuring compliance. Mismanaged logs can lead to disk space issues, performance bottlenecks, and lost diagnostic data. Here's a quick breakdown of what you need to know: Choose the right logging driver: Options include json-file (default), syslog, journald, fluentd, and none. Each has unique benefits depending on storage, performance, and integration needs.

As a developer, when you think about CI/CD, you probably focus on build times, test results, and deployment pipelines. The infrastructure powering those builds? It's invisible (unless something goes wrong!). At Bitrise, we've spent 10 years refining infrastructure decisions that most developers never see. In this post, we are pulling back the curtain on the infrastructure choices we've made and why they matter for reliability, consistency, and performance.

Summarize with AI: ChatGPT Claude Google AI Mode Grok Perplexity In today’s data-driven world, business intelligence and analytics play a huge role in better understanding your customers, improving your operations, and making actionable business decisions. While there’s no doubt about the value of implementing a BI solution, many ERP users face the same challenges around the quality and credibility of their data.

That’s a wrap on API Summit 2025! At our eighth annual event, the brightest minds in the worlds of APIs and AI gathered in New York City to define the next chapter of digital innovation. We're entering an era where APIs are not just connecting services but connecting intelligence. APIs are the neural pathways of this new AI world, where agents will reason, act, and collaborate through endpoints. At this year's API Summit, we saw how quickly this vision is becoming reality.

In the evolving landscape of agentic systems, Confluent and Google Cloud together emerge as critical enablers, providing the real-time infrastructure that underpins efficient, reliable, and intelligent data flow. This powerful synergy addresses key challenges in agent-to-agent (A2A) communication, interaction with external resources, and the overall stability and observability of complex multi-agent environments.

The new StudioAssist Agent Mode turns your AI assistant in Katalon Studio into a connected, context-aware testing partner. It now supports MCP Servers, HTTP-based services that let the agent fetch real-time information and perform actions directly inside your project. Katalon ships with two built-in MCP Servers: You can also add your own HTTP-based MCP Servers to extend StudioAssist’s reach. (Note: authentication support is coming soon.)

Imagine an airline system monitoring traffic around an airport. If it detects a major delay, countless systems may need to react instantly: Ground operations to adjust flows. Some of these systems will still connect via API, traditional MQ or iPaaS technologies, but the data’s volume and urgency and the ease of decoupling apps make architecting with Kafka the better fit. The natural question is: should all these applications & systems connect to the same Kafka cluster?

Testing database-driven applications is notoriously painful. If your app depends on MySQL, you’ve probably spent hours setting up local databases, running migrations, loading data, and then cleaning everything up just to rerun your tests. This repetitive cycle slows development, breaks pipelines, and introduces inconsistency between local and production environments.

For the tenth consecutive time, Gartner has named Google Cloud Apigee a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for API Management.
