Nowadays APIs are the de facto method of communication between services. With all the connections points, setting up environments to efficiently build and test can be difficult. Also, in lower environments, 3rd party APIs can be unreliable, incorrect or non-existent.

Multi-cloud infrastructure is changing the way companies approach their software architecture. What started solely as gateway traffic management has evolved into full lifecycle API management. I recently sat down with Reza Shafii, Kong’s VP of product, for a blog series where we explore how full lifecycle service management ties into the concept of cloud native.

I’m extremely excited to introduce Continual. Continual is the easiest way to maintain predictions – from customer churn to inventory forecasts – directly in your cloud data warehouse. It’s built for modern data teams that want to leverage machine learning to drive revenue, streamline operations, and power innovative products and services without complex engineering.

Jamstack has brought forward a great way to rethink the infrastructure of modern-day websites. It shows us just how much we can abstract away in the process of serving websites and, as a result, gain tremendous benefits to User and Developer Experience. However, much confusion exists around what kind of websites can actually fall under this classification.

We talked to cybersecurity expert Anastasiia Voitova about all things related to mobile app security: from the first and most important steps teams should take to prevent potential attacks to reaching a high level of DevSecOps maturity.

Collecting and analyzing data on your customers’ preferences and behavior is one of the best ways to improve your products and customer service.

Unfortunately, most of us have had our sensitive data or personal information compromised at one point or another. Whether the leaked data involves credit cards, a bank account number, a social security number, or an email address, nearly everyone has been a victim of a third-party data breach. In 2020, over 155 million people in the U.S. — nearly half the country's population — experienced unauthorized data exposure.

Upgrading your DreamFactory instance is in most cases a very straightforward process, generally requiring less than thirty minutes to complete in addition to the time spent configuring a new host server. Most of the work is automated thanks to the platform installers we’ve included with each release since version 3.0 (click here to learn more). We’ve recently updated our guide to include a new comprehensive section on upgrading your environment, which you can read here.

Data pipelines are in high demand in today’s data-driven organizations. As critical elements in supplying trusted, curated, and usable data for end-to-end analytic and machine learning workflows, the role of data pipelines is becoming indispensable. To keep up, data pipelines are being vigorously reshaped with modern tools and techniques.

Konnect is a hybrid cloud control plane managed by Kong that launched in May. Konnect provides an easy way to create and configure service configurations through a UI, rather than using the admin API and HTTP requests to configure your Kong Gateway. On top of that, it provides usage analytics, a developer portal and role-based access control for service configuration. If you have a Kong Gateway OSS installation, you may be wondering how you can move your instance over to Konnect.
