In this article, we will compare Amazon RDS vs. MySQL, two database concepts widely used in the world of cloud computing and database management. The purpose of this comparison is to help you understand the key differences between these two concepts and assist you in making an informed decision about which one is best suited to your specific needs. Here are the key differences between Amazon RDS and MySQL: Table of Contents Need an API?

API integration has proved to be an essential companion for developers in the constantly advancing world of software development. API tools help blend systems and applications as they interact and engage with each other. Despite that, API connections can become complex at times. How do we choose the right API integration tool? What factors should be considered while selecting the API integration tool to work with?

The Kong Gateway CI was failing intermittently (about once every 100 runs) on the ARM64 platform with a strange error: “attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'i' (a function value)”. The variable i in the context is an integer but at runtime, it was sometimes a function value. This is caused by an error in the LuaJIT ARM64 JIT compiler. We’ve investigated and found the issue and the fix is merged in the LuaJIT upstream. This document describes how we fixed the error.

APIs have become a crucial connection in the space where business and technology meet. According to MarketsandMarkets, the API management market is projected to be worth $5.1 billion by 2023. It’s clear that API use is growing and that this growth will continue well into the future. While APIs offer plenty of benefits, some common API issues tend to arise, regardless of industry.

API Summit 2023 has just concluded, with awesome announcements including the launch of Kong Mesh in Konnect, and Dedicated Cloud Gateways. In addition to launching new capabilities, we also ensured that our existing products continue to grow and deliver value. With that in mind, I’m pleased to announce the immediate availability of Kong Ingress Controller 2.12.

Picture this: You're building the next generation of microservices architecture in your organization. The orchestration is in place, containers are humming, and you've chosen Kong Gateway (naturally) to manage the APIs, ensuring smooth communication. But then, you hit a snag. You need a custom filter not part of the standard library of plugins, or you envision a unique way to manipulate, observe, or control the traffic.

The DreamFactory REST API enables database connections using a wide variety of front end scenarios. This simple sample app demonstrates how DreamFactory easily can be used to connect to a MySQL database with JavaScript. It’s a simple address book, where contacts can be created, shown, updated, deleted and grouped: basically, CRUD operations. The Address Book is a very simple one page app based on plain JavaScript and jQuery.

Apigee is aligning pricing attributes across Pay-as-you-go and Subscription pricing; and introducing further granularity to make it more accessible.

One of the main challenges API producers face is making improvements and enhancements to their APIs without getting their clients to upgrade API versions (i.e., change their applications). We're excited to introduce semantic version-based intelligent routing in Choreo, making API consumption easier than ever. This feature groups APIs into their major versions, and the corresponding URLs are simplified to include only the major version number.
