Few lines of code, no matter how great your development team is, run at peak performance when they're originally developed. To discover the most effective technique to make code run quicker, it must be evaluated, debugged, and reviewed. How can software engineers and quality assurance engineers ensure that their code is fast, efficient, and ultimately valuable? The approach is to evaluate an application's code and discover and resolve performance bottlenecks using code profiling.

Enterprise Integration Platform as a service (EiPaaS) is commonly used to describe a suite of cloud-based tools and services that are designed to support enterprise-grade integration strategy and initiatives. The hallmarks of EiPaaS products are ease-of-use, standardization and pre-built modules such as connection endpoints (usually API-based, to connect to a business application like CRM or ERP), automation flow builder and error handler.

If you’re using Elasticsearch as part of an ELK stack solution for log analytics, you’ll need to manage the size of your indexed log data to achieve the best performance. Elasticsearch indices have no limit to their size, but a larger index takes longer to query and is more costly to store. Performance degradation is often observed with large Elastic indices and queries on large indices can even crash Elasticsearch when they use up all of the available heap memory on the node.

That is if they are equipped with the right analytics technology. Historically, many businesses have settled for “good enough” analytics tools, putting up with lackluster bundles from full-stack vendors in an attempt to minimize cost or risk.

Before exposing your company’s APIs, your highest priority should be to assure the security, governance and reliability of those APIs. To do so, you’ll need to use an API gateway as a single secure entry point for API consumers rather than allowing direct access to APIs. Kong Gateway can help manage the full lifecycle of services and APIs as well as secure and govern the access to those APIs within an API platform.

For the modern enterprise, the focus on customer obsession—an endeavor shown by research to bring better revenue growth and customer retention—requires connectivity across all of an organization’s resources. Back in the day, the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) was the primary provider of connectivity for a service-oriented architecture (SOA).
