We’re proud to announce the availability of the fresh, new “internal API” to our users. This API is only accessible from within a running instance on the platform.

In this guest article John Arundel, consultant and author of Cloud Native DevOps with Kubernetes, introduces the Checkly Terraform provider. He explains what Terraform is and why you'd want to use it, and shows how to use Terraform to automate and manage your website monitoring with Checkly.

We just shipped three updates based on customer feedback.

I post openly about MRR, churn and other SaaS stuff on Twitter. I do this mostly for marketing purposes. Not going to lie. It's also kinda fun. At least when things are growing...

We talk a lot about LogicMonitor's flexibility and extensibility, one reason is that our architecture makes it easy to write integrations to other tools' APIs, while our API lets other tools talk to our platform. This also means you can make LogicMonitor talk to itself.

At Scout, we pride ourselves in building a tool that is focused on the developers’ ability to quickly identify performance issues within their applications so they can fix them and resume building the fun stuff. DreamFactory is a robust role-based access tool to help you with API creation and management needs.

The article, Serverless API with ReactJS, was first published on the Serverless Guru website. Let’s build a Serverless REST API for our ReactJS website!

This works great for simple static pages but what if you want to do something more? How do you host your API on S3?

OAuth 2.0 Authentication, as explained by oauth.net, is a “delegation protocol that is used for conveying authorization decisions across a network of web-enabled applications and APIs.” OAuth was created in 2006 by developers from Twitter and Ma.gnolia, a social bookmarking site. Ma.gnolia was looking for a way to use OpenID, along with the Twitter API, to delegate authentication.

When adding a new feature to Checkly or refactoring some older piece, I tend to pick Heroku for rolling it out. But not always, because sometimes I pick AWS Lambda.
