Today, countless engineering teams have leveraged API monitoring to track infrastructure health and report when services are down or unhealthy. There are a variety of API metrics that can be tracked that are aligned with engineering goals such as uptime, average latency, requests per minute, and errors per minute. However, these metrics are not aligned with the business goals of product owners and growth teams.
We are happy to announce the release of Kuma 0.4! This is a major release focused on significantly better observability capabilities that also includes many new features and improvements across the board. This release also marks the 10th release of Kuma since September 2019!
Since its release in 2015, GraphQL has become the alternative to REST. It gives frontend developers the flexibility they craved for so long. Over are the days of begging backend developers for one-purpose-endpoints. Now a query can define all the data that is needed and request it in one go, cutting latency down by quite a bit, at least in theory. With REST, things were entirely a bit simpler — especially monitoring.
We have just released the PHP Extension version 5.0.62 which includes a new feature, instrumentation for GraphQL queries made using the webonyx/graphql-php package, the most widespread GraphQL server package for PHP, for example by Magento 2.
As an all-encompassing marketplace, RapidAPI has become a popular option for developers and vendors alike. So what does it have to offer and how can you harness it effectively to get the most out of its features and benefits? On the surface, the concept of RapidAPI is simple; it aims to act as your one-stop-shop for a wide variety of RESTful APIs which can be deployed to tackle a plethora of potential projects.
For many years, API Management (APIM) — and the adoption of API gateways — was the primary technology used to implement modern API use cases both inside and outside the data center.
Deciding whether to hire and build an API analytics platform vs purchasing from a third party vendor can be a daunting task. Not only do you need to investigate ROI, you also have to navigate politics and may run into Not Invented Here syndrome, among other things. In the long run, by purchasing a ready made solution like Moesif, your product and engineering teams will be able to focus on what they do best: building products that customers love.
Let me start by introducing myself properly: I’m Renat Zubairov, CEO and Co-Founder of a Germany-based company elastic.io, part-time techie, part-time sales, full-time father of three. And I will be hosting a topic at the SaaStr Annual Braindates 2020. While working at our previous companies, Igor, Rico (the other elastic.io co-founders) and I realized how much of a challenge the traditional software business model posed for enterprises.
