Modern Software Development For Today's Systems & Applications
Real-World Security Considerations for MCP
Every new protocol introduces complexities—onboarding new tools and SDKs, adapting to new processes, evaluating security and performance implications, ensuring compatibility with existing systems, and overcoming the learning curve. So when a new protocol shows up, the first question to ask is: is it really necessary? Let’s ask that about MCP—what problem is it trying to solve?
Rate Limiting vs Throttling: Multi-Tenant API Use Cases
Rate limiting and throttling are two key strategies for managing API traffic in multi-tenant systems. While both aim to maintain performance and prevent misuse, they work in different ways: Rate Limiting: Sets strict caps on the number of requests a user can make within a specific time frame. Extra requests are rejected outright with an HTTP 429 status code. Throttling: Dynamically adjusts request processing speeds based on system load. Extra requests are slowed down or queued rather than blocked.
Introducing Konnect Debugger: Get Unprecedented API Traffic Visibility
We're excited to announce the general availability of Konnect Debugger, formerly known as Active Tracing during its tech preview phase. This powerful debugging and observability solution in Kong Konnect has evolved from a focused tracing tool into a comprehensive debugging platform.
DreamFactory + Claude Desktop + Canva Demo
In this demo, I wire together a new DreamFactory API exposing SQLServer, the DreamFactory MCP Server, Claude Desktop, and Canva to interrogate some new data and them make charts out of it.
Connecting SAP Hana Odata Connector to anything with DreamFactory
DreamFactory simplifies SAP HANA integration by automating API creation, eliminating the need for complex custom development. It supports seamless connections between SAP HANA's OData services and other applications, ensuring secure data access and improved efficiency. Here's how it works: What It Does: DreamFactory generates REST APIs for SAP HANA, enabling CRUD operations on data without requiring deep technical expertise. Key Features: Automated API creation for SAP HANA data.
Defect Management In Software Testing: Process, Tools, And Best Practices
Delivering a high quality product is a must in the software development industry. Functionality, performance and user satisfaction can all be severely impacted by defects, also known as bugs or issues. Defect Management becomes crucial at this point. In this blog we’ll discuss the definition of defects, the importance of properly managing them, and how a systematic Defect Management Process (DMP) guarantees software testing quality and dependability.
What Is Spiral Model In Software Engineering?
Would you believe me if I say there is a development methodology that considers changing requirements and technical risks as part of the process instead of obstacles to be overcome? Sounds crazy, right? That’s exactly what I thought about the Spiral Model until I took a closer look. I’m not saying it’s perfect for every project or that we should all use it. But for certain types of projects, the messy, uncertain, high-stakes ones, it may be just what you need!
What is an API first approach?
APIs already account for 71% of all internet traffic, but here's what most companies are missing: AI is about to become the biggest API consumer ever. As generative AI transforms how we interact with software, agentic workflows will perform automated, API-heavy interactions on our behalf. Companies that embrace an API-first approach now will dominate tomorrow's AI economy. In this video Frank Kilcommins, Principal API Technical Evangelist at SmartBear, explains what it means for a software development organization to be API-first.
API Security: Validating Auth and Access with Traffic Simulation Starts with Behavior
Security breaches rarely begin with a hidden zero-day exploit or a complex web of escalated hacks. They often start in very simple ways – an internal team member is breached, a permission is misconfigured, an overly permissive API endpoint is overlooked, or a JWT simply doesn’t expire. An API, or application programming interface, is a set of protocols and tools that enable different software systems to communicate and exchange data, making them essential in modern software development.
