The latest News and Information on API Development, Management, Monitoring, and related technologies.
The more tools that your teams need to execute their workflows, the more friction and lost productivity there can be, especially if each tool requires a different CLI or set of APIs. Retool is a low-code platform that allows you to build internal web applications using a drag-and-drop interface. By integrating with a number of key backend databases and APIs, Retool enables you to create custom, centralized management tools to serve a wide range of employee-facing use cases.
GraphQL is an open-source query and manipulation language to use for APIs. It contains server-side functionality and a query language for maintaining data interfaces.

At Speedscale, we’re always trying to find ways to iterate faster and reduce developer toil. In line with that mission, we slant our engineering decisions towards using cutting edge tech because we usually move faster and it also allows us to help our customers later on when they upgrade their own tech stack. Recently, we had the opportunity to upgrade the communication channel between our api-gateway and react front end. This journey provided some unexpected benefits.
We just released a big change on how often you can schedule your API and Browser checks. Together with our launching customer RMS — a leading property management solution — we looked at how we can catch hiccups and errors of mission-critical apps as early as possible and get better insights on uptime across the board.
Today, Gremlin is excited to announce the ability to create an API key that can perform actions with the same set of permissions as your user account. This allows you to automate Gremlin tasks safely and securely.
APIs are the backbone of software products. Whether the APIs are customer facing or for internal use, making sure that your APIs are up and running is crucial. In this post, we will see how to get started with API monitoring with Checkly.
Starting today, Honeycomb’s Management API is generally available to all Honeycomb users. The Honeycomb Management API is a set of endpoints that lets you programmatically set up, configure, and delete queries, datasets, derived columns, and more. With this release, you can now manage Honeycomb with configuration as code either directly via API or with third-party tools, like Terraform, using the community-contributed Honeycomb provider.
