The latest News and Information on API Development, Management, Monitoring, and related technologies.
Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are a crucial building block in modern software development, allowing applications to communicate with each other and share data consistently. APIs are used to exchange data inside and between organizations, and the widespread adoption of microservices and asynchronous patterns boosted API adoption inside the application itself.
API monitoring is the process of keeping tabs on the performance of your REST APIs. Learn how Kentik’s API monitoring tools let you identify bottlenecks, spot performance drops, and maintain availability to ensure a quality experience for your end users. Learn more in this API monitoring tutorial.
Hello, SREs, DevOps engineers, and developers! We have some news! At Checkly, we understand the importance of proactive monitoring and quick incident resolution in maintaining your apps’ reliability and performance. Have you heard of ilert? ilert is the incident response platform made for DevOps teams. It helps organizations efficiently respond to, communicate and resolve incidents in real-time by offering advanced alerting, on-call management, and status pages.
Grafana Incident, Grafana’s powerful incident response tool, comes with a range of integrations out of the box, including Zoom and Google Meet spaces, GitHub and JIRA issues, and even a Google Doc template for post-incident review documents. However, every team has unique needs and workflows, and you may need to integrate with other systems not currently on our roadmap or even use your own in-house tools.
As you know, having reliable checks is a cornerstone of synthetic monitoring. We don’t want false alarms, or worse, checks succeeding when things aren’t working. But sometimes, problems can be hard to identify because they only happen intermittently, or in certain situations. Similarly, monitoring results can be skewed by infrastructure issues, or network errors on the monitoring provider end, causing false alarms when there is actually no problem with the product.
