As more companies are undergoing digital transformation (resulting in a huge explosion of APIs and microservices), it’s of paramount importance to get all the necessary data points and feedback to provide the best experience for both users and developers. Kong Gateway is a lightweight API gateway that is built to be open and versatile. Regardless of the technology stack involved, Kong supports these monitoring or logging requirements through its extensive ecosystem of plugins.
Being able to group a set of users or companies based on their behaviors or traits can be extremely useful. In Moesif, we have a feature called Saved Cohorts which allows you to do exactly this. Saved Cohorts can help businesses power marketing campaigns and other sales initiatives, help engineers and customer success teams manage ongoing issues, and a host of other use cases.
Learn how the Fivetran REST API allows you to programmatically manage users, groups and connectors to scale data workflows and improve your overall security posture.
As engineers and architects, we automatically build resilience into platforms as far as possible. But what about the unknown failures? What about the unknown behavior of your platform? The philosopher, Socrates, once said “You don’t know what you don’t know”. What if I could tell you there is a way to turn these unknowns into knowns – a way to understand how your platform will behave to specific failure events…
By combining traffic replay capabilities from Speedscale with observability from Datadog, SRE Teams can deploy with confidence. It makes sense to centralize your monitoring data into as few silos as possible. With this integration, Speedscale will push the results of various traffic replay conditions into Datadog so it can be combined with the other observability data. Being able to preview application performance by simulating production conditions allows better release decisions. Moreover, a baseline to compare production metrics can provide even earlier signals on degradation and scale problems. Speedscale joined the Datadog Marketplace so customers can shift-left the discovery of performance issues.
APIs can have a huge impact on your business, creating value and delivering new income streams. But they don’t always do so in the way you might have had envisioned at the outset. Which means, when it comes to API monetization, it can pay to be prepared for the unexpected.
We live in a digital economy where Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are foundational elements for businesses to operate and grow. As rightly outlined by Gartner, APIs interconnect individual systems that contain data about people, businesses and things, enable transactions, and create new products/services and business models. The popularity of APIs has grown significantly in the last decade or so, but the history of APIs stretches back much further.
In our last blog post, we traced the evolution of APIs in the cloud age. The cloud age introduced the idea of an “API economy” — or the business practice of organizations exposing their digital services or information through the controlled use of APIs. While the API economy looks attractive today, we believe it will become even stronger in the future.
FIDO is a term that’s commonly heard of in the passwordless-authentication space. In this blog post, we’ll discuss how passwordless-authentication mechanisms first emerged, and also learn how FIDO authentication works.
