Develop a Serverless TypeScript API on AWS ECS with Fargate

AWS Fargate is a serverless compute engine that allows you to run containers without managing servers. With Fargate, you no longer have to provision clusters of virtual machines to run ECS containers: this is all done for you. Fargate has an Amazon ECS construct that can host an API. In this take, we will build a Fargate service using the AWS CDK, put the API in a docker image, and then host it inside Amazon ECS. The API will be a pizza API and we'll store the data in a DynamoDB table.

Automating API Delivery with APIOps and Kong

As organizations build more APIs, manual processes and frequent handoffs in the API development workflow can lead to a slower time to market, higher development costs, and poor-quality APIs. They can also result in APIs being poorly documented, causing poor API adoption and lower revenues. APIOps aims to address these issues by automating the entire API lifecycle, leveraging DevOps and GitOps principles. But what is DevOps, and what is GitOps?

API Management is Fundamental to Modernizing Insurance Operations

The concept of insurance predates the printing press and the steam engine. So it's likely no surprise that the industry — as obviously adaptable as it is — often faces challenges related to the modernization of legacy systems. In the age of AI and APIs (application programming interfaces), streamlining operations and modernizing are paramount to success.

Scaling Ruby on Rails Using Containerization and Orchestration

After Twitter moved from Ruby to Scala in 2009, the story was born that Ruby on Rails can’t scale. The story goes that it lacks robustness, is a memory hog, and lacks the concurrency features you need to grow an application. This has been the prevailing wisdom for over a decade. And then along came Shopify, showing that, as Lutke says, Ruby on Rails is a framework that can process billions of events per day and evidently does scale. Ruby on Rails is an excellent candidate for scaling.

How to build a Rails API with rate limiting

APIs are the bread and butter of the internet. The ability to interact with our applications programmatically enables interoperability and makes our lives as developers easier. Unfortunately, web applications are vulnerable to malicious actors that seek to misuse them or degrade their performance, which is why rate limiting is an important part of any API.

Improving Government Case Management with AI: 6 Use Cases

There are many ways AI can improve government case management processes. Examples include: AI capabilities often depend on a large language model (LLM), an advanced AI system that can understand, analyze, interpret, and generate human language. It uses deep learning techniques to predict and produce coherent text based on input prompts. A large language model trained on government agency data is capable of tasks like text extraction, translation, summarization, and conversational responses.
