For years, enterprises have been employing monolithic applications with complex functional frameworks. But today, with advanced solutions built ith API’s and Microservice architecture are putting an end to their realm. With ever-changing requirements in the IT world, enterprises are required to adopt advanced applications with sophisticated features and functions that can accommodate changes throughout.

As software got more complex, more and more software projects rely on API integrations to run. Some of the most common API use cases involve pulling in external data that’s crucial to the function of your application. This includes weather data, financial data, or even syncing with another service your customer wants to share data with. However, the risk with API development lies in the interaction with code you didn’t write—and usually cannot see—that needs debugging.

We’re excited to announce that our Configuration API and Terraform Provider are now generally available for all LogDNA customers. We received tremendous feedback from our public beta release and, based on that feedback, we are enabling several new features with the GA release that allow for more programmatic workflows with LogDNA. First, we are enabling Preset Alerts as a new resource that can be configured with the configuration API as well as within Terraform.

How do you choose an API style and API technology when you start a new project? Today, if you look at API technology research such as RapidAPI Developer Survey and Insights, you’ll probably conclude that REST is the dominant force in the API landscape. While REST is certainly well-known to most developers and used in a lot of production environments, it may not be the best fit for every scenario.

As APIs are so important for connecting modern cloud applications, keeping an eye on their availability and speed is essential if you want to give a great user experience. A good API monitoring tool can assist you in developing dependable APIs by detecting and fixing issues before they reach your users. If you're looking for a solution like this, look no further. In this article, we looked at some of the top API monitoring tools available today.

Today we released API 2.0, the latest version of TruSTAR’s API-First Intelligence Management Platform. This new version continues our commitment to simplify and streamline intelligence for automation in enterprise security intelligence management, and breaks through long-standing industry limitations around operationalizing data orchestration and normalization.

InfluxDB Cloud offers a transparent usage-based pricing model that only charges users on the work performed, with no minimums or long-term commitments. This puts YOU in charge of what you spend. However, with four separate pricing vectors, it’s not always easy to see exactly where that cost is going, or how to estimate your potential spend based on your data usage.

Though invisible to most users, APIs are the backbone of modern web applications. Developers love them because they facilitate complex integrations between systems and services. The business loves them because integrating disparate systems to create new products and services drives innovation and growth. The challenge with this transformative connectivity is the dependencies that exist between systems. API failure can result in performance degradation, data anomalies, or even system-wide outages.
