From SOAP to REST: Why DreamFactory's Approach to API Design Matters in the Age of MCP
REST APIs are now the backbone of modern systems, powering 83% of APIs, while SOAP lags behind at 15%. Why? REST is faster, simpler, and better suited for today’s needs, including AI and MCP (Model Context Protocol). DreamFactory makes this transition easy with automated REST API generation, robust security, and scalability. Here’s what you need to know.
Vscode Vs Cursor: Which One Should You Use In 2025?
Today’s software developers depend on suitable tools to perform better in their work. People working as developers during 2025 seek text editors which offer comprehensive functionalities and improve their work efficiency by incorporating intelligent functions. The dev community embraces two innovative editors – VSCode and Cursor.
Terraform Your Way to the Cloud with Konnect Dedicated Cloud Gateways
Imagine a world where you could deploy your API gateways across any cloud, enforce enterprise-grade policies, and meet compliance standards all within a single Terraform apply. Most teams think about infrastructure as code only in terms of spinning up VMs, networking components, databases, or maybe a Kubernetes cluster. But what if your API platform was just as programmable? With Kong’s Konnect platform and its support for Terraform, that reality is here today!
4 Tips for Developing Model Context Protocol Server
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is rapidly becoming the connective tissue for agentic AI systems and IDE tooling. Whether you’re building a dev tool that integrates with LLMs or enabling a context-aware API backend, standing up an MCP server is a rite of passage. But MCP is still in its early days and there are some sharp edges. Here are four practical shortcuts to fast-track your MCP server development so you can skip the boilerplate and get to the good stuff: intelligent tooling.

Modernize Test Data Management with Traffic Replay
In software testing or platform engineering, having realistic data is crucial. For years, teams have relied on Test Data Management (TDM) to copy entire production databases, scrub any sensitive information, and then spin up test environments from these sanitized data sets. While TDM gets the job done, it can be costly, time-consuming, and can quickly become outdated. The issue of outdated data becomes more pronounced as deployment velocity increases and back end dependencies become more diverse (think: microservices).
What is RBAC? The Basics of Role-Based Access Control
As cybersecurity takes the main stage, organizations face a significant challenge: how do you strike a balance between maintaining a high level of security and ensuring employees have enough data access to perform their jobs properly? Role-based access control (RBAC) is a solution that can support both of these goals, even as organizations are quickly scaling.
What is Docs as Code? Your Guide to Modern Technical Documentation
If you take a step back and think about today’s software development landscape, you could argue that documentation is just as important as the code itself. That’s because traditional documentation workflows — where documentation is manually updated, stored separately from code, and thus often falls out of sync — have started slowing teams down and leading to outdated or inconsistent information.
