Imagine that you need to know the exact location of the train that you’re about to catch. Trains can be equipped with IoT sensors that can publish location coordinates via Kafka streams in real time. You will be using a mobile application to view a train’s location. Mobile applications and web applications are compatible with WebSocket, a web-friendly protocol, but the location data is received via a Kafka stream. How do we convert the real-time Kafka feed into a real-time WebSocket feed?

When your application crashes during peak traffic or returns cryptic error messages to frustrated users, the culprit is often hiding in plain sight: untested APIs. According to recent industry data, APIs now account for 71% of all internet traffic, yet many businesses still treat API testing as an afterthought.

BugSnag now supports applications built with the Vega Developer Tools from Amazon Devices & Services, giving developers immediate visibility into the stability of their TV-first apps. This launch is part of a deeper collaboration between SmartBear and Amazon, extending beyond tooling support into a broader partnership that accelerates software quality across the Amazon ecosystem.

Want to secure your OT systems and share data safely? NIST 800-82 and ISA-62443 are two key frameworks that help organizations manage operational technology (OT) security and data governance. Here's what you need to know.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) finalized the CMS-0057-F Interoperability and Prior Authorization Rule, which marks a pivotal shift in U.S. healthcare, requiring payers, providers, and health IT vendors to enable seamless data exchange through FHIR APIs. The rule is designed to reduce administrative burden, improve care coordination, and empower patients with timely access to their health information.

If you're building distributed applications or working in cloud native development, you know that robust connectivity and API governance are the foundations for speed and scale. However, this also holds true in the realm of event streaming. Many top companies now depend on Apache Kafka and Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) for resilience and real-time capabilities.

A couple of weeks ago, our team returned from API World. We’ve officially had a few weeks to decompress and get back into the swing of things after an incredible time at API World 2025. Looking back, the experience was even more rewarding than I had imagined in my Pre-API World blog. This year was especially memorable for me, as I had the opportunity to attend my first tech conference and travel across the country for work. I’m still buzzing from everything I learned and the people I met.
