Moesif and Datadog are both platforms that provide monitoring and the ability to view metrics.

For the next interview in our series speaking to technology and IT leaders around the world, we’ve welcomed Patrick Gleeson, CTO at Basubu to share his insights on being a CTO at a fast-paced startup.

When machines need to communicate with one another and exchange data, they require certain formatting for specific data types. That's where SOAP API and REST API come into play.

Talk of what to do with legacy systems often causes angst among leaders. Retiring the system means lost functionality that might be too difficult to replace.
