The latest News and Information on API Development, Management, Monitoring, and related technologies.
You can now use Checkly to monitor API endpoints secured with TLS Client Certificates. This post dives into why and how you would use client certificates and mTLS (Mutual TLS) in your API infrastructure. Let's go!
AWS recently introduced a new Lambda Telemetry API giving users the ability to collect logs, metrics, and traces for analysis in AWS services like Cloudwatch or a third-party observability platform like Coralogix. It allows for a simplified and holistic collection of observability data by providing Lambda extensions access to additional events and information related to the Lambda platform.
Maintain high uptime and performance for your APIs without any overheads using Google Cloud’s API monitoring tools.
I have been building a feature on elmah.io lately that picks up validation results from an external API. Before serverless was a thing, I would probably have done this using a scheduled task or Windows Service using Hangfire or similar. But after having migrated everything to serverless Azure Functions, I wanted a good solution running similarly. Azure Durable Functions turned out as the perfect companion and in this post, I'll show you a possible way to implement polling of an asynchronous API.
API is short for Application Programming Interface. The software-to-software interface provides a secure and standardized way for systems to work with each other. API security means implementing practices that protect APIs from malicious attacks and data theft. Thanks to APIs, applications can deliver the information or functionality requested without user intervention. This means our everyday digital experiences remain virtually effortless.
Developers need all the information they can get on APIs to get them to work in alignment with their vision. There is no dearth of knowledge in the software development industry today, but only when that knowledge is documented well is it of use to others. In the context of APIs, developer portals offer an effective way to document and communicate relevant information. In this article, we answer the following questions about developer API portals.
