The increasing complexity of modern websites and web applications means that a dependency on Application Programming Interfaces—or APIs—is unavoidable. APIs are used throughout software to define interactions between different software applications. They are also indispensable to businesses as they enable them to develop applications that can scale and provide a wealth of services without the need to build every software or server component from scratch.

We’re excited to announce even more new upgrades for our API servers - let’s get into the details!

An API, or application programming interface, is a set of protocols and instructions that allows two software applications to communicate with one other. APIs can be implemented in a number of architectural styles. One of the most popular styles is REST (representational state transfer,) which allows server and client interaction in a stateless manner.

Testing in production carries a lot of risk, like possibly causing downtime for users. However, the advantages of using real user traffic are many, which has led to the popularity of traffic mirroring. Mirroring can be implemented as part of pre-deployment testing, as well as other parts of the developer experience like the development itself. But, how do you get started with it?

Webhooks and APIs are a developer-friendly approach to building modern-day web applications. In this blog, we explain what a webhook is, do a detailed webhooks vs. API comparison, and explain why we recommend developers use them with Squadcast.
