Go, often referred to as Golang, is a popular programming language built by Google. Its design and structure help you write efficient, reliable, and high-performing programs. Often used for web servers and rest APIs, Go offers the same performance as other low-level languages like C++ while also making sure the language itself is easy to understand with a good development experience.

GraphQL is a query language for APIs developed by Facebook in 2012. It was then open-sourced in 2015. GraphQL enables frontend developers or consumers of APIs to request the exact data that they need, with no over-fetching or under-fetching. In this article, we will learn how to monitor GraphQL APIs with the open-source APM tool, SigNoz. GraphQL has become a popular alternative to REST because of its ease of use. It enables developers to pull data from multiple data sources in a single API call.

I have been playing around with the Trello REST API recently. To my surprise, there doesn't seem to be any actively developed client package for.NET and Trello doesn't show examples in C# on their website. Here's a quick overview of what I have learned.

ContainIQ runs all infrastructure on Google Cloud (GKE), and was able to get Speedscale installed within a few minutes. After installing the Speedscale operator, ContainIQ began capturing traffic from the primary gateway where service calls come into a cluster.

I guess at this point, you have heard of a company called Amazon and its business unit called Amazon Web Services, or AWS. Although you can read different stories about its beginning, one common thread across all of them is that it started with the need to scale quickly while enabling developers to deploy their services rapidly.

We all know that pay is just as hard as it is important. Having a team distributed over 11+ countries makes pay even harder than in a traditional setup. I joined Checkly in mid-2021 with the promise of a fair and transparent culture in a remote tech startup and my goal was clear: make Checkly one of the best employers in our industry. A topic that I wanted to tackle early on was pay. How can we make pay less nebulous and more transparent, fair, and predictable?

Since our latest update, Dashbird also gives you insights into HTTP API Gateway. Let’s look at the differences between REST vs. HTTP; HTTP API Gateway pricing, integrations and monitoring.

Why this combination you ask? Load testing is my passion, and I am partial to Kubernetes. I challenged myself to share a use case that many could relate to, focused on a business critical application. Websites came to mind and WordPress is the world’s most popular website management system. Of course, nginx is the most popular web server so let’s throw that into the mix. And Kubernetes? With more than 50% of corporations adopting Kubernetes in 2021, what better system to run in.

To provide a fast, seamless, and highly available experience for the end-user, modern applications increasingly rely on third-party services. Due to this rising complexity, it's become important for IT employees to ensure that these services are up and running and communicating as they should. API monitoring has thus become a must-have for DevOps teams.
