The latest News and Information on API Development, Management, Monitoring, and related technologies.
Even if you write the fastest code in the world, you can still be slowed down by external factors. In this post, we will deal with performance monitoring external APIs and how you can prevent these slow APIs from slowing you down.
When an end user thinks of a modern application, they expect a user-friendly offering, one that works on any device, from any location, and that delivers constant innovation. To deliver on that expectation, under the hood there are a large number of distributed components (and micro-components) running heterogeneous workloads on hybrid environments.
AWS Service Quotas helps you manage limits on the number of resources or API operations that are possible for a given AWS service. Hitting such limits could cause operational disruptions related to getting rate limited on the critical APIs that your applications rely on or being unable to provision additional AWS resources.
We've recently launched a brand new in-browser editor for our browser check creation experience! Browser checks are Javascript-powered Playwright/Puppeteer scripts that run on deploy or on a schedule for testing and monitoring websites and web apps. While this new experience centers around an upgraded text editor, it is much more than just that.The new browser check creation experience builds on the popular Monaco editor from Microsoft, which also powers VS Code under the hood.
Adding an API Gateway to your application is a good way to centralize some work you usually have to do for all of your API routes, like authentication or validation. But like every software system, it comes with its own problems. Solving errors in the cloud isn’t always straightforward, and API Gateway isn’t an exception. AWS API Gateway is an HTTP gateway, and as such, it uses the well-known HTTP status codes to convey its errors to you.
Plenty of tools make it easy for you to discover existing APIs and create new APIs that integrate essential parts of your IT infrastructure. However, using an API to connect two or more assets doesn’t ensure that you get excellent performance.
Streamlining your incident management process is what we do best, and one of the ways we do that is by acting as the connective tissue across all of your applications. We’ve partnered with Checkly to bring you a new integration that empowers you to detect problems and resolve incidents faster.
