Modern marketing teams often struggle to get the holistic picture across all their initiatives. We can (partially) blame the multiple and diverse marketing tools needed to get the job done. From Google Analytics to Hubspot, customer data lives in multiple silos. As a result, you and your team must juggle multiple spreadsheets that contain data from each marketing platform to get a complete understanding of performance.

Apigee is aligning pricing attributes across Pay-as-you-go and Subscription pricing; and introducing further granularity to make it more accessible.

insightsoftware recently purchased Power ON, a tool that sits on top of Power BI and allows you to do your planning via write-back all in the same platform.

One of the main challenges API producers face is making improvements and enhancements to their APIs without getting their clients to upgrade API versions (i.e., change their applications). We're excited to introduce semantic version-based intelligent routing in Choreo, making API consumption easier than ever. This feature groups APIs into their major versions, and the corresponding URLs are simplified to include only the major version number.

The query execution graph provides performance insights to help you easily understand, troubleshoot and optimize your BigQuery analytics queries.

Every organization, big and small, relies on processes to get work done. Processes are the backbone of your success. But if left unchecked, your processes can spin out of control.

API Summit 2023 is a wrap! Over the two-day conference (our sixth-annual event), we packed in over 40 hours of content in 100 sessions touching on everything from ensuring reliable connectivity to generative AI. We heard from investors about the future of APIs, as well as stories from users and customers from all over the world. And, of course, we also had plenty of Kong-related news to share. Here are some of the highlights from the event and a round-up of all the Kong news dropped this week.

There are now nearly 9 million apps worldwide, and practically all of them run on an internal clock. Financial apps are built on timestamped data. Office apps run on calendars. Social apps are defined by their feeds, timelines and anniversaries. So, as devs, we need to know how to compute date and time. JavaScript, the world’s most popular programming language, has plenty of helpful APIs, but they can throw up complications if you’ve never used them before.

Banking is a critical but highly complex industry. It is a highly regulated environment, and banking applications must be developed in compliance with privacy and security standards of the region the bank operates. Credibility is an invaluable asset to any financial institution, so they can’t afford to let any bugs, even the most minor, slip into production and impact the user experience.

Ever dealt with a misbehaving consumer group? Imbalanced broker load? This could be due to your consumer group and partitioning strategy! Once, on a dark and stormy night, I set myself up for this error. I was creating an application to demonstrate how you can use Apache Kafka® to decouple microservices. The function of my “microservices” was to create latte objects for a restaurant ordering service.
