API Development
Imagine you're an architect tasked with building a massive skyscraper. You'd need a solid plan, right? You can't just start slapping bricks together willy-nilly. The same goes for creating APIs. Without a well-defined lifecycle, your API project could quickly turn into a towering mess.
This is why mastering the API lifecycle is crucial to your development process. It streamlines every stage of API management, reduces development time, minimizes bottlenecks, and ensures APIs are high-performing, secure, and aligned with business objectives.
This guide will break down the complexities of the API lifecycle into digestible, actionable steps you can use to turn API lifecycle management from a daunting challenge into a smooth, streamlined process. That way, rather than the leaning tower of APIs, you’ll have a strong foundation and structure for moving forward with your API development.

If you deploy on Kubernetes, you are scaling your application. This usually means scaling pods and nodes within a cluster. This type of scaling allows you to handle increased workloads and provides a level of fault tolerance.
However, there are scenarios where scaling within a single cluster won’t be enough. This is where Kubernetes multi-cluster deployments come into play. Multi-cluster implementations allow you to improve availability, isolation, and scalability across your application.
Here, we want to examine the benefits of this approach for organizations, how to architect Kubernetes multi-cluster deployments, and the top deployment strategies.

What’s the difference between a cluster, a node, a pod, and a container in Kubernetes?
Kubernetes introduces a lot of new vocabulary. Today, we will break down Kubernetes into several layers of abstraction from smallest to largest, focusing on clusters, nodes, pods, and containers.

Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions allow users to enter credentials once and access many systems simultaneously. IT administrators can use a local SSO server or a third-party service to manage authentication, allowing for centralized access management. SSO solutions strengthen managerial abilities and are highly advantageous to fast-developing firms.
In this article, you’ll learn how to implement Single Sign-On on your application using AWS Cognito and AzureAD.
