Private APIs vs. internal APIs – at first glance, they might seem synonymous, given their non-public nature. However, delving deeper reveals unique characteristics and purposes for each. As with any technical concept, a clear understanding is key to harnessing its full potential. To help navigate this intricate landscape, this article aims to demystify these terms, shedding light on their similarities and, more importantly, their differences.

APIs (application programming interfaces) are increasingly acting as the “missing link” to help organizations integrate all their systems, applications, and databases. So how can you take advantage of API integrations for yourself? The answer is API-led connectivity. API-led connectivity is a systematic approach that uses APIs to seamlessly integrate diverse technologies within an organization, enabling efficient data and application access while fostering agility and innovation.

As the role of APIs continues to expand, the way we manage them is undergoing a profound transformation of its own. Visitors to the Gartner rating and review site may have noticed a significant shift in the terminology used to describe API management.

Building a microservices-based application requires a wide range of tools and technologies. Since these tools/technologies work together like a multi-faceted puzzle, it’s difficult for a beginner to understand what they are and why they’re necessary. The goal of this guide is to provide an accessible introduction to each of these essential concepts – all in one place.

Energy and utilities providers are currently facing more uncertainty than ever before. Volatile prices, geopolitical instability, new technologies and more demands for going green are threatening the future of the entire industry. As a result, their IT teams are under tremendous pressure to start powering digital transformation through productivity improvements, capital efficiencies and development of new revenue streams.

Frequent deployment of APIs can quickly create a software system that is like an overgrown garden, riddled with weeds, bugs, failed integrations, and ill-fitting use cases. Overloaded API collections prevent changes without causing failures. More commonly, they limit the visibility needed to recognize opportunities for feature optimization. Creating a successful API can go a long way to ensuring your organization can avoid many of these problems.

Versioning REST APIs is crucial for ensuring seamless interactions between software applications. In this tutorial, we’ll discuss how to version REST APIs, ensuring that developers can evolve their APIs without disrupting existing users. Here’s what you need to know about REST API versioning: Table of Contents.

The ability to call a PostgreSQL stored procedure from an API allows for rapid development in a secure way. Rather than writing database queries to interact with your data you can utilize an API that can be rapidly developed and reused many times. The reusability of APIs and using stored procedures means if you are scaling from a single backend application to hundreds your APIs will not change. Table of Contents.

You’ve probably heard of the Internet of Things (IoT); all those everyday objects that incorporate computing functions. For example, the IoT allows you to connect your phone to your refrigerator. This way, you can know exactly what to buy at the supermarket for that impromptu dinner that night. Perhaps you’re part of a DevOps team, using microservices and containers to build and deploy legacy and cloud-native applications quickly and iteratively.
