If you have been following technological trends over the years, then you must have come across the word: microservices. Popularly known as microservices architecture, microservices replaced monolithic architectures. With software development becoming more complex by the day, software applications require regular updates and improvements. To simplify this process, applications are now developed by breaking it down into smaller components that collectively work to serve their users.

The Data Access Layer (DAL) is the most critical part of any application. This is where the code integrates with an external source of truth like a database. In this take, we'll show you how to build a DAL that talks to Postgres via Node. Then we'll go into best practices like Clean Architecture and what this means in practical terms. Ready? Let’s go! First, a quick note about the code: The code will have modern niceties like TypeScript, unit tests, and will tackle potential scalability issues.

Product Managers, especially those in start-ups, have no easy job to do: product tweaks, project management, QA, release notes, you name it. With such a dynamic and all-encompassing role, things can get tricky. So much so that, in a recent poll we conducted via LinkedIn, we found out that “Testing and Launch” is the second most problematic stage in the life of a digital product, according to almost 27% of product managers.

APIs are at the backbone of every modern application that powers our day-to-day lives. As a matter of fact, API traffic today is at least 83% of the world’s global internet traffic , which underlines the importance of modern API infrastructure that can unlock innovation, agility, fast release cycles, IP reuse and more scalable teams. Most of this innovation is driven by technologies that are open source and platform-agnostic, like Kong Gateway.
