In the new age of Industry 4.0 the shopfloor is no longer an isolated environment. It’s the heartbeat of manufacturing operations, responsible for producing, monitoring, and refining goods. But since the lines blur between operational technology (OT) on the shopfloor and information technology (IT) in the enterprise, integrating these systems has become a formidable challenge.

In the early days of web application development, monolithic frontends and backends were perfectly fine. But the emergence of the cloud has changed expectations. Developers want to build applications that exchange information with APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). Business owners want faster development times. End users expect zero downtime. This new paradigm enabled the rise of service-oriented architecture (SOA) and, along with it, microservices and web services.

With the relative newness of the iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service) vertical, no single platform has emerged as the de facto choice for enterprises. This can present a challenge if you’re trying to choose among the large pool of solutions available – especially when certain solutions labeled “iPaaS” serve very different use-cases. To help you sort through the rich sea of available products, this guide starts by organizing the market into four categories.

Digital transformation is accelerating rapidly, yet many businesses are still wondering how to proceed. For most, it will require a shift in thinking and operational activities. Succeeding in this transformation will require you to make critical choices surrounding more efficient workflows, data security, and profitability. One of the four pillars of digital transformation is IT uplift, which focuses on improving the IT infrastructure.

Legacy applications pose multiple problems for data-driven organizations like yours. Outdated software might no longer receive support and maintenance from its vendor or might not integrate with modern technologies like cloud computing. Still, these applications are essential for day-to-day business tasks, and replacing them could impede productivity and profitability.

An API ecosystem refers to the interconnected network of applications, services, and APIs that collaborate to enable data exchange, functionality, and interactions between various software components. An API connects all the software developments so they can work together. Developers can connect apps that don’t normally work together, allowing for combined strengths and opportunities to close gaps in product capabilities.

Containers and microservices are redefining the software development lifecycle. Developers are empowered to choose best of the breed languages, frameworks, and runtimes to develop software. DevOps teams are dealing with new packaging and deployment mechanisms. Container orchestration tools such as Docker Swarm, Kubernetes, Apache Mesos are changing the way applications are deployed and managed.

The exploding complexity of backend interfaces is a real problem for companies building mobile and web applications or just using REST API services.
  |  By DreamFactory
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.

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).

Never Build an API Again. An enterprise-grade API as a service platform available in the cloud or on-premise. Generate database APIs instantly to build applications faster.

Integrate any SQL or NoSQL database, file storage system, or external HTTP or SOAP service and DreamFactory instantly generates a flexible, comprehensive, and fully documented REST API endpoint that’s ready to use. Focus on building your applications, not hand-coding APIs for every new development project.

Benefits:

  • Instant APIs without code. Eliminate the biggest bottleneck in modern IT. Launch your project in weeks rather than months. DreamFactory instantly creates a secure, standardized, reusable, fully documented, and live REST API.
  • Manage your data portfolio. Connect Salesforce to SQL Server, or your ERP to AWS S3. Transform and mask data along the way. Create reports, analytics, and alerts. Empower teams to retrieve and distribute data on demand.
  • Secure your data with layered controls. Secure every API endpoint with Role-Based Access Controls, SSO Authentication, JWT, CORS, OAuth, and Active Directory. Deploy behind firewalls and in air-gapped environments.
  • Modernize legacy applications. Integrate legacy technology into cutting-edge applications, extending technology lifecycles and derisking legacy system replacements.

REST API Automation and API Management made simple.
