Polling asynchronous APIs with Azure Durable Functions

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.

The Power of Metrics - Monitoring Battery Life, Connectivity, Power Consumption & More

Once embedded devices are shipped, engineers have limited visibility into their devices. If you want to detect and resolve issues in production quickly, your team needs to implement device metrics. Metrics are a powerful yet simple way to monitor countless IoT devices, leading to quicker issue resolution and better decision-making. In this webinar, Memfault Co-Founder Tyler Hoffman discusses the importance of metrics and how you can use them to build more reliable IoT devices.

5 API Security Best Practices to Protect Sensitive Data

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.
