What is API Mocking? Definition, Guide, and Best Practices

APIs enable seamless data communication among software applications and digital services, making it one of the most essential backbone of our modern society. Carrying such importance, API testing is always highly recommended to ensure that the API is working as expected. However, APIs may not be fully available to be tested, especially during the earlier stages of development, or when the API providers impose certain access restrictions to their APIs.

What is Synthetic Monitoring? Guide & Best Practices

Modern applications are expected to be up 24/7, and that puts certain pressure on the performance testing team. One of their goals is to continuously monitor real users’ interactions with the site and develop a performance benchmark based on that information. However, there’s a catch: sometimes real user monitoring doesn't allow you to observe the system's behavior in extreme scenarios (such as sudden spike in traffic or abnormal user behaviors).

What are Sealed Classes in Java?

Sealed classes are a feature introduced in Java 15 which bring a new level of control and predictability to class hierarchies. A sealed class is a class that explicitly specifies which other classes are allowed to extend it. This offers a way to restrict class hierarchies, making them more predictable and less prone to unintended extensions.

What is Kubernetes CrashLoopBackOff error, and how to fix it?

Kubernetes is one of the most popular container orchestration platforms. It helps with automated deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. But sometimes, it experiences some turbulences - as in a CrashLoopBackOff Error. Calling it an error is not entirely right. It expresses a state of restart loop happening somewhere in the background, i.e., in a pod.

Leveraging Kotlin Collections in Android Development

Kotlin has gradually replaced Java as the lingua franca of Android programming. It’s a more concise language than Java, meaning your code works harder and you can build leaner applications. And Kotlin Collections are fundamental. These collections play a fundamental role in our work as programmers by simplifying the organization and management of data. Whether it’s a list, set, map or other data structure, they allow us to categorize and store data logically.

Best NodeJS frameworks for seamless backend development

NodeJS is a JavaScript runtime environment for running JavaScript applications outside the browser environment. It’s asynchronous and event-driven, meaning it doesn't block the event loop - making NodeJS highly suitable for the development of server-side web applications. With around 50,000 open source packages available through npm (Node Package Manager), NodeJS facilitates the seamless backend extension. The GitHub repository has 99k stars and 27.5k forks demonstrating an active community.

Why Adding AI to Business Process Automation Is a Game Changer

Is cost optimization at the top of your agenda? If so, it’s likely business process automation (BPA) has caught your attention. BPA combines a number of technologies to help organizations orchestrate, automate, and optimize their business processes. BPA delivers cost optimization by upping your efficiency and refocusing your talent on higher value work, but it also fosters the agility your organization needs to succeed in a rapidly changing world.

Automated file archiving made simple

File and folder management is a large part of backend development. Whether you are creating files, importing files, or simply following organisation standards, every system needs to consider how files are stored and archived. This is especially important for ETL or data-loading solutions. Low-code tools are a good choice when you create a process to automate your file archiving.
