Since the release of Xcode 14, numerous code signing issues have emerged, plaguing builds across various CI/CD platforms. And even though code signing process was never easy, issues like these were relatively uncommon in previous versions of Xcode, such as Xcode 13 and Xcode 12, leaving many developers worried. If you are facing some unfamiliar code signing issues with Xcode 14, while everything seems to be fine with your keys and certificates, you aren’t alone.

As you may know, event logs are a common feature in operating systems and other software that keep track of system and application errors. When you have API traffic to follow or front-end actions you want to watch, using Moesif’s Live Event Log is a simple way to filter and find the data you need.

Many API developers and companies struggle to find ways to set up systems to monetize their APIs easily. Some are simple but not customizable and some are complex and require massive engineering effort to actually get it all running. To make things easier, Moesif created the Billing Meters feature which gives massive customizability but with a minimal amount of code and engineering effort to monetize APIs.

Learn why most web apps and web services use REST (RESTful) APIs–and why GraphQL and gRPC APIs are emerging as alternatives to REST APIs in a growing number of organizations. Most web traffic today is actually API traffic for web applications and REST web services.

Learn the fundamentals of DataProvider and how it can be used in TestNG for automated testing. As the volume of applications increases, software testing teams find themselves overburdened with a “combinatorial explosion” of permutations for their test cases. In the early days, we hard-coded our test cases with the most important workflows, and we wrote bespoke automation scripts, each one to handle its own particular use case.

This is a guest post for Integrate.io written by Bill Inmon, an American computer scientist recognized as the "father of the data warehouse." Inmon wrote the first book and first magazine column about data warehousing, held the first conference about this topic, and was the first person to teach data warehousing classes.

Today, API-driven microservices applications are a source of speed to innovation and competitive advantage – according to SmartBear’s most recent State of Software Quality – API report: However, this modern way of architecting software doesn’t come without challenges. Neglecting to adapt a new approach to service architecture design with a new approach to the underpinnings – API design and testing – can undermine the efforts.

As a Solutions Engineer here at Kong, one question that frequently comes across my desk is “how can I transform a Kong logging plugin message into a format that my insert-observability-stack-here understands, i.e. ELK, Loki, Splunk, etc.?” In this blog, I’m going to show you how to easily accomplish converting a Kong logging payload to the Elastic Common Schema. In order to accomplish this task, we’re going to be running Kong Gateway in Kubernetes and using two Kong plugins.

A common use case that is frequently requested is how to dynamically route requests based on authentication attributes. An example of this technique is routing requests to relevant upstream services based on claims contained in a JWT token. Admins would like all their clients to go to the same URI as it makes the implementation easier. But behind the scenes they might need to tailor specific configuration/applications for them, hence routing their request based on their identity.

From time to time, Kong’s Brad Drysdale and Ahmed Koshok exchange emails about the latest trends in tech. In this exchange, Brad and Ahmed discuss the continued quest for more innovation faster, the role of automation in API strategy, and more. from: Brad to: Ahmed date: Oct. 29, 2022, 6:58 PM subject: Elements for Building Cloud Native Applications Greetings from Australia, Ahmed!
