Now that we have explored monitoring apis with Prometheus, let’s take a look at monitoring our APIs with Grafana. You may have noticed from the previous blog that Prometheus is awesome, but takes some time to fully flesh out and their dashboards aren’t easy to read or very eye-catching. Luckily for us, Grafana specializes in data visualization. We won’t even have to configure all our Prometheus queries, so let’s get started.

Do you have a DB2 database that needs a REST API? Now you can connect to your IBM DB2 with DreamFactory in just a few minutes. In this short blog post I’ll explain how you can connect to DB2 with DreamFactory’s auto-generated REST API for DB2.

Have you ever wanted a quick and easy way to monitor your Docker environment? Do you want to have an API monitor with minimal configuration? Well it looks like there has never been a better time to monitor your API as there are currently a plethora of awesome tools out there to help us with monitoring, such as Prometheus and Grafana.

On-premises software accounted for 58% of the market share for tech deployment in 2020 and is projected to grow 30% by 2030. While cloud services will likely overtake this deployment method in the years to come, your business might not be able to afford to switch to the cloud anytime soon, especially if predictions about an impending recession come true.

The world you live in today is nothing like the world 50 years ago. In fact, thanks to rapidly changing technology, even ten years ago things were very different. Now, the world is in the middle of Industry 4.0, and APIs are essential to most business software. How are APIs and Industry 4.0 related? In this article, you’ll learn more about these APIs and API integration and how they work together.

Developers and engineers want to create great digital products faster, get them to market at record speeds, and eliminate the risks of downtime and poor user experiences. The traditional development approach often prevents this, as developers spend increasing hours meticulously coding workflows for thousands of tasks. Low-code development platforms are an increasingly popular solution for dealing with this challenge.

Ever since computers started to make their way into the workplace, application development has been a priority for businesses. As a company grows, there is a need for new applications to handle new business processes and make the most of new opportunities. However, the list of custom applications requested can turn into a backlog as you hit the limits of developer resources. To ease this burden, the concept of low-code application development has entered the enterprise.

Service-oriented architecture, also known as SOA, uses discrete, reusable components that let developers take a modular approach to product design and eliminate monolithic software. SOA functionality tends to meet the needs of organizations that rely on repeat business functions. Instead of building a complete web application to fill a specific need, SOA can reuse components to speed up application development and avoid mistakes.
