NaaS and the API economy
In our previous blog, we looked at the rise of the API economy. In this instalment we explore how APIs are transforming the provisioning of connectivity through the move to Network-as-a-Service (NaaS).
What is Synthetic Monitoring?
Synthetic monitoring enables developers to simulate real user interactions to validate an application's performance and correctness. Checkly's Monitoring as Code offers a unique synthetic monitoring solution that enables you to control and automate your entire monitoring infrastructure in a single workflow.
Introducing Error Groups to the Raygun API

Why the "Start Small" Approach Breaks Down When It Comes to Load Testing
A common approach in software is to start small, then move to bigger initiatives, but it's often easier said than done. The theory breaks down in production, which is why devs need new approaches.
Understanding the API economy
APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) have been around for decades, but although the concept emerged as far back as the 1940s, it wasn’t until the early 2000s and the efforts of eBay, Salesforce, and Amazon that really put them on the map. APIs today are ubiquitous - any company developing software will likely have an API for customers and partners - and research suggests the majority of enterprises consuming APIs are focused on strategies for easier consumption and management of APIs.
