If you have ever been interested in Web Development then chances are you have heard of JavaScript. JavaScript is an object-oriented programming language. It is used by developers to make the client-side (front end) of web pages dynamic and interactive. It is also used alongside HTML and CSS to make websites and web applications. The market for application development in 2022 is huge. Freelancing as a developer or pursuing a full-time job are lucrative options for anyone dedicated and determined to learn programming skills.
In our last development cycle, we spent time improving our table performance in AppSignal. As customers stay around for longer, data starts piling up. A view with just 10 items in the beginning gathers hundreds of items, and keeps growing. Besides filtering data in the front-end to reduce the returned data, we wanted to ensure our data could keep growing without timeouts in our GraphQL API or slow-loading pages in our app.
Video delivery is more complex than ever. OTT providers need to ensure a quality experience for their customers while also delivering video that meets the expectations of advertisers. This can be a challenge, but using an API for video delivery can help make it easier. An API for video delivery can help you manage your content more effectively and deliver it to the right people at the right time. It can also help you keep track of who is watching your video and how they are interacting with it. This information can be used to improve your video delivery strategy and make sure that your customers are getting the best possible experience.
One of the most common questions we’re asked by prospective customers is “what’s the right way to get started with API monetization?” In this article, we’ll do our best to lay out what we’ve seen work most frequently — and call out a few common pitfalls as well. What we can say with certainty is that, “Build it and they will come,” doesn’t work as an API monetization strategy. That may sound obvious, but we’ve seen it attempted enough that we want to specifically point out how to avoid this common temptation in API monetization.
Open Banking is a key digital transformation initiative in many countries. Its aim is to provide end users with more control of their financial data and to enable companies involved in banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) to quickly offer new services. The Kong-AWS partnership provides the right technology enabling these financial institutions to transform and meet the key requirements of Open Banking.
A recent GartnerⓇ report recognizes Ably as playing a critical role in powering meaningful online experiences by extending event-driven architectures to the edge. Within the spectrum of event-driven architecture use cases, Ably reaches end-user devices with last-mile connectivity: it’s at the heart of what we do. Ably is edge messaging! Many of our daily online experiences happen live: from receiving instant score updates, tracking a food delivery, or sending chat messages and emoji responses during a livestream.

New edition enables companies of any size to take advantage of the Modern Analytics Cloud and build their business on data, paying only for what they use instead of shelfware licenses sold by traditional analytics vendors.
Drag and drop analytics are more interactive and user-friendly compared to traditional, high code business intelligence (BI) solutions. They allow users without programming experience to easily explore the data and don't require coding knowledge, with a drag and drop user interface to conveniently enhance functionality of any dashboard report. In this post, you will find the importance of drag and drop analytics for more seamless reporting and user experiences when analyzing business-critical data. Let’s dive in.
In this post, we will explore how event-driven architecture can make your app more responsive for users and decouple your modules for a better developer experience. We will also look at several methods of implementing event-driven architecture with Elixir. Elixir is particularly good for this because of the advanced and concise message-passing APIs that it offers and BEAM's outstanding support for concurrency. But first: what is event-driven architecture, exactly?
In the fourth blog of our internal platform team series, Zsolt Márta explains how Bitrise uses Terraform Cloud to enable teams to manage resources in a fully self-served way.
In this article, you will learn about some of the tools to test microservices running in a Kubernetes cluster. In particular, we will compare the Speedscale CLI tool with other tools and the main benefits of using Speedscale CLI. In the last few years, software companies have been shifting from building monolith applications to utilizing smaller microservices. In a microservices architecture, you operate with decentralized applications. This means that there’s a separation in which each service is responsible for a specific component of your application.
In the 21st-century business world, data reigns supreme. This means that how organizations to store, organize, move, and automate their valuable company data is crucial for overall success. When it comes to data management, having a great data integration solution in place is key.

Companies of all sizes and industries are unlocking new possibilities thanks to APIs (application programming interfaces). There are many common uses of APIs, from driving business agility to improving the customer experience. However, there are few sectors where APIs have so much potential as the logistics industry. From giant e-commerce retailers like Amazon to small mom-and-pop businesses, shippers, couriers, and delivery services can all benefit from using a logistics API. In this article, we’ll discuss the various applications of APIs for logistics operations and your supply chain.
GET STARTED In the 21st century, data is the center of every business. Therefore, how companies handle, optimize, and automate their valuable business data is becoming more and more important. To make data storage a bit easier, many companies are moving their big data over to cloud-based data centers.
HTTP Keep-Alive is a feature of web servers that allows clients to keep connections open. It's also called "persistent connections." The idea behind HTTP Keep-Alive is to prevent the connection from timing out and closing, which would require the client to reconnect. This saves time for both users and the website’s server. HTTP/1.1 is designed to allow keep-alive connections by default, but HTTP/1.0 is not. The HTTP/1.0 protocol designed clients and servers to close the connection after each request. Using telnet, we can actually verify this difference.
Over the last ten years, APIs have grown in popularity and utilization. They've evolved into critical components of application infrastructure, and as businesses continue to use and build them, good API architecture will become increasingly important. A smart API design helps performance and the overall developer experience, whether they're public or internal. The most common APIs employ HTTP requests to access and use data and follow a RESTful architecture. As a result, they're built such that parameters can be used to change HTTP requests to return the desired data, commonly in JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format.
Every business wants to mature rapidly. For software testing and QA professionals, terms such as low-code application testing, codeless tools and automation would definitely ring a bell. From a market perspective, a product perspective, and especially, a tech stack perspective, everyone knows that ensuring quality is key in software development. However, very few organizations actually accomplish quick maturation at the tech stack level without serious growing pains, headaches, starts and stops, missteps, and lost or wasted money.
