Are you thinking about hand-coding an API? You have the perfect application in mind. It has an attractive UI and achieves everything the customer wants. However, it needs to connect with a Microsoft SQL Server database, so you have to start working on the data model and API. Hand coding APIs offers greater customization and control but is time-intensive, whereas API generation provides a faster, more streamlined approach with automated tools, albeit with less flexibility.

Nowadays, building robust and secure RESTful APIs is a fundamental task. However, developers often stumble upon a common challenge: Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) issues. These issues can hinder the integration of APIs from across different domains, leading to frustration and delays in development timelines. In this article, we’ll be discussing the intricacies of CORS, and figuring out why these security features are essential.

A SQL injection attack is an attempt to modify the syntax of a SQL query executed in conjunction with a user-initiated action within a software application. Some examples of user-initiated actions include searching for a product within an e-commerce catalog, adding a comment to a blog post, and creating a new user account. In each of these scenarios, the user uses a form to submit input (e.g.

If you’re at all familiar with APIs, you know that REST APIs are the main API used, particularly when it comes to microservices and their applications. gRPC is a high-performance, binary, and strongly-typed protocol using HTTP/2, while REST is a simpler, text-based, and stateless protocol using HTTP with JSON/XML.

Application programming interfaces (APIs) do a lot of behind-the-scenes work that you might never notice. When you look at the weather forecast on your smartphone, you get updated info because of an API. You rely on APIs when you sign into your email account, get driving directions, and book airplane tickets.

The evolution of APIs (application programming interfaces) has been all the hype in recent years. In many ways, they're powering the modern internet as they open doors to organizations and developers around the globe. Data shows that 98% of enterprise leaders believe APIs are essential for survival concerning digital transformation, yet most struggle to develop a comprehensive rollout strategy.

A relatively new term in the world of data management, data mesh refers to the process of creating a single, unified view of all enterprise data. This process can happen in several ways, giving business users easy access to the data they require for decision-making. Several principles guide data mesh design and implementation. This article will discuss the principles of data mesh and how they can help your business get the most out of its data.

While many API tools are available on the market—such as enterprise service buses (ESBs) like Apigee and MuleSoft, or low-code solutions like Hasura and CData—few offer the level of flexibility that DreamFactory does. A recent project underscored just how dynamic this lightweight, enterprise-ready API generation tool can be. In this article, we'll dive into this unique project and explore how DreamFactory proved to be much more than just an API generator.

The ability to seamlessly integrate different software applications is paramount for businesses and developers. This is where API access comes into play. API access refers to the ability of an application or client to interact with and use the functionalities of an API, typically controlled through authentication and authorization mechanisms like API keys or tokens.

Modernizing legacy systems is often a daunting task, often filled with risks and uncertainties. The Strangler Pattern offers a proven, incremental approach to replace these outdated systems by gradually building new features around them, eventually phasing out the old system. The Strangler Pattern is a software modernization strategy that incrementally replaces parts of a legacy system with new functionality, allowing both systems to coexist until the legacy system is fully phased out.

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.

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.
