The latest News and Information on API Development, Management, Monitoring, and related technologies.
Curious about Microsoft Azure and the best ways to connect? Azure is a hybrid Cloud Service Provider (CSP) with customized, scalable, cloud-based packages. These encompass Software as a Service (SaaS), based on subscription-based software licensing and delivery, Platform as a Service (PaaS), allowing companies to develop, deploy, manage, and update applications, and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), providing high-level application programming interfaces (APIs).
When talking about managing web applications and the services they provide, the term “API gateway” is often thrown around, but what does it mean? In order to unpack how a gateway functions, we first need to understand what an API is.
When building cloud-based applications, managing the infrastructure becomes a bigger challenge as you scale. Kubernetes brings order to the chaos, letting you control and automate the containers used to deploy your application. Debugging in the cloud presents further challenges, and the complexities of distributed applications make it hard for many debugging setups to keep pace. Tools designed to run locally aren't effective. However, there are Kubernetes debugging tools that can handle the shift in paradigm. In this article, you'll read about several options that make debugging Kubernetes applications much easier.
Let’s admit it: end-to-end testing is a technical challenge. How do you make features testable? What testing framework should you use? When should you run your test suite? There are so many things to learn and consider. At Checkly, we want to ease end-to-end monitoring so that you can focus on shipping excellent software instead of figuring out how you monitor and test it. But before getting into our latest feature addition, let me answer the above questions.
