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.
New API authentication Pandora FMS
Pandora FMS external API is used to integrate third party applications with Pandora FMS and now we will be able to authenticate against it using the Bearen Token. It is a type of identification through HTTP headers that allows that each registered user in our Pandora FMS server can generate its own identifier of unique correspondence to make calls to the same API. In today's video we are going to show you how to generate these identifiers of the users of our server and how to make calls to the API with this identifier.

eCommerce Load Testing (Step 3): Build the Environment
In this webinar clip from "Ensuring performance: How major retailers leverage user traffic to validate code changes", Speedscale Co-founder, Nate Lee, explains what to consider when building the environment, including backend dependencies and data. He covers how service mocking can help companies test at a higher velocity in today's complex development environments.
eCommerce Load Testing (Step 4): Generate Load & Repeat
In this webinar clip from "Ensuring performance: How major retailers leverage user traffic to validate code changes", Speedscale Co-founder, Nate Lee, explains the final step: generating load and repeating the process with the goal of testing continuously and at a higher velocity.
Replicating Traffic: Use Cases & Benefits
In this webinar clip from "Ensuring performance: How major retailers leverage user traffic to validate code changes", Speedscale Co-founder, Nate Lee, talks about why traffic-based testing (unlike manually writing script tests) can help companies move faster and test at the speed of development. He covers the top use cases and benefits of leveraging traffic as the new way to test.
What is an API Gateway?
API Gateways are vital components in today's digital landscape, facilitating seamless communication between systems and applications. To ensure optimal performance, monitoring API Gateways is crucial. MetricFire offers a comprehensive monitoring platform that tracks and analyzes key metrics, providing real-time insights into performance indicators such as latency, error rates, and throughput.
