We live in an exciting time for software; we are witnessing a monumental shift in how applications are built. We have the opportunity to participate in the large-scale movement from centralized applications to decentralized, highly performant software architectures.

Large enterprise and government organizations often inquire about how the DreamFactory REST API platform helps secure data access. Especially now that a growing number of web and mobile apps need to access sensitive data, and proper controls are imperative in the services used to access that data from an expanding number of apps.

DreamFactory is a configurable LAMP stack running PHP. As far as the server is concerned, DreamFactory looks like a website written in WordPress or Drupal. Instead of delivering HTML pages, DreamFactory provides JSON documents, but otherwise, the scaling requirements are similar.

Application Performance Management isn't a new discipline, but it is a new best practice for Big Data. APM for big data has become a must-have for running big data in production in order to manage performance and utilization of big data applications and platforms.

Serverless Computing is considered to be the fourth wave of computing where x86 servers, virtual machines, and containers represented the first three generations. With this new paradigm, developers can squarely focus on the code and without the need to deal with the underlying infrastructure. They never have to plan the number of servers, amount of storage, and the network topology of deployments. Since the platform deals with one function at a time, and functions are the fundamental deployment units, this model is often called Functions as a Service (FaaS).

Full lifecycle API management entails not only technology solutions but also the data-driven processes and mindsets that those solutions enable. For enterprises to succeed, it's essential to have visibility into every stage of the lifecycle-from the developer experiences to API performance to emerging business opportunities. Data plays a huge role in aligning business and IT leaders around the ways developer activity contributes to revenue-and much more.
