Platform Engineering
Think about platform engineering holistically, and it's what you've been doing already, but for your internal teams, now just bringing it out into the open," –Michael Levan
API Development
We’re in the age of serverless. Serverless functions, serverless storage, serverless gateways, serverless everything. Serverless computing has revolutionized the way we build and deploy applications. In 2023, the global market for serverless architecture was over $15 billion. This will only grow as more and more use cases for this technology are found. But even as serverless grows and benefits organizations, that doesn’t automatically mean it will work for you. It’s common for developers to jump on the latest technologies. Serverless works well for the specific use cases it was built for, but sometimes organizations can waste a lot of time and resources going down the serverless rabbit hole only to find it doesn’t fit what they are trying to do.
Rate Limiting
Modern web applications rely on Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to handle client requests and transfer data between entities. API rate limiting is used to protect web resources and services by preventing the frequency of transactions from exceeding a set maximum number. In this article, you’ll learn: What rate limiting is,

API Development
Started forIt’s no secret that software applications rarely operate in isolation. They need to communicate and exchange data with other applications, platforms, and services to provide users with rich and seamless experiences. This is where APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) come into play. APIs have become the backbone of modern software development, essential for web applications and every software developer. They allow developers to build applications more efficiently by leveraging existing services and data sources. In fact, data shows that nearly 90% of developers are using APIs in some capacity. API development promotes modularity, reusability, and innovation, allowing companies to create robust ecosystems around their products and services.
API Development
Application programming interfaces (APIs) have become the backbone of modern software systems, enabling communication and data exchange between different applications and services. Building and deploying your API is only the beginning of the API lifecycle. Once you need it to function in the real world, you must consider security, versioning, monitoring, performance, and lifecycle management. This is why you need API management. It allows you to effectively oversee and control these critical aspects of your API throughout its entire lifespan. It provides a structured approach to managing your API, ensuring that it remains secure, reliable, and responsive to the ever-changing needs of your users and business. Key practices like API Mocking can facilitate the testing process by simulating responses early in the lifecycle, helping you identify issues before production. Let’s explore its benefits, and how the available tools can help you better build and deploy your APIs.
