The data mesh approach has gained popularity over the last couple of years as organizations look for reliable ways to break down data silos. At first, data lakes looked like a good way to improve data management and make information more discoverable. Unfortunately, data lakes — and data warehouses — don’t always conform to business needs. They’re often slow and even unresponsive to queries. Potentially even worse, they can still lead to data silos.

Jeremy H - December 11, 2023 Modern application development and IT infrastructure depend heavily on the use of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) and API Management. APIs offer a standard set of rules for systems and applications to connect and interact. Whether you are integrating a new application into an IT infrastructure or connecting the modular components of a microservices-based application, APIs are one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to establish those connections.

The rapid development and deployment of software applications largely rely on the power of APIs. These Application Programming Interfaces act as the glue holding together various components, enabling efficient communication and data exchange between them. From mobile apps to web services and enterprise systems, APIs are ubiquitous, playing a critical role in the seamless functioning of modern software architecture – but its important to take internal API security risks seriously.

Terence Bennett - December 5, 2023 REST APIs are a powerful tool to bring together multiple applications. While REST APIs are extremely useful, creating and deploying them into production is a highly complex and time-consuming process. If you’re building your own REST API, you should be familiar with some of the industry best practices for naming REST API endpoints. For many developers, using a development platform is a good way to get started.

Spencer Nguyen - December 5, 2023 Worldwide government IT spending is forecast to total $589.8 billion in 2023, an increase of 7.6% from 2022, according to Gartner, Inc. As technology integration becomes more prevalent in society, the government, organizations, and businesses must begin the process of digital transformation. When it comes to successful digital transformations, APIs and databases are at the core.

Jeremy H - December 5, 2023 In today’s highly connected digital world, businesses need to integrate with various applications and services to streamline operations and improve customer experience. Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) play a vital role in enabling this integration by allowing different software systems to communicate and share data. API integration platforms are the key to maximizing the potential of your APIs.

Data mesh, it’s one of the hottest data science topics among software engineering teams, data scientists, and anyone interested in building a more effective data infrastructure. This concept is a relatively new model for data management, helping large enterprises scale their data footprint to accelerate digital transformation. Many industries, like retail and banking, see how crucial data is, yet few have mastered ways to harness it. API generation for data mesh is one of the ways you can start.

Kevin McGahey - November 28, 2023 Storing information in a relational database and sharing it via a RESTful API is a very common scenario these days. Depending on your RDBMS (relational database management system), this may take a lot of development effort. One solution that attempts to simplify the process is the PostgREST web server add-on for PostgreSQL.

As the world undergoes a digital transformation, APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are becoming increasingly important. An API is a set of rules allowing the software to communicate with others. In other words, APIs act as a bridge between different applications. As a business owner, staying up-to-date on the latest API trends is essential. This article will discuss 11 important API initiatives for the upcoming year.

Organizations often grapple with the choice between two distinct but equally vital technologies: API generation and ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) solutions. While both serve as essential tools, they stand at opposite ends of the data management spectrum. API generation focuses on facilitating real-time data access and dynamic communication between software applications, whereas ELT specializes in the consolidation, transformation, and preparation of data for analytics.
