In the previous blog post we covered the high availability feature of Cloudera Operational Database (COD) in Amazon AWS. Cloudera recently released a new version of COD, which adds HA support to Microsoft Azure-based databases in the Cloud. In this post, we’ll perform a similar test to validate that the feature works as expected in Azure, too.

API testing is a critical part of the software development lifecycle. If you’re not performance testing your APIs, you’re putting your entire system at risk. API testing is the process of verifying and validating the functionality, reliability, performance, and security of an API to ensure it meets its requirements and behaves as expected. This guide will discuss the importance of testing and how to test APIs.

Apigee is a cloud-based API management tool. It integrates data from databases, warehouses, data lakes and SaaS services. It is a no-code tool making it a valuable asset for citizen integrators and developers alike. However, the platform was initially designed to build APIs for monoliths. It was not designed to handle microservices. Given we are in the age of digital transformation where microservices rule, Apigee may not be suitable for a lot of use cases.

Cron is a time-based job scheduler in Unix-like operating systems. It allows you to schedule tasks (or jobs) to run at specified intervals. Now, let’s get down to business – testing these Cron jobs to make sure they’re doing what they’re supposed to do. How can you be certain they’re doing what they’re supposed to? Enter Cron Job Testing – a crucial step in ensuring the reliability of your scheduled tasks.

Imagine having the keys to a vault where every piece of data about your business is stored—not just any vault, but one that you built, control, and customize according to your precise specifications! This is the empowering reality of self-hosted analytics. It's like being the captain of your ship, navigating through the vast ocean of digital information with the confidence that comes from knowing every inch of your vessel.

When building APIs, developers face a crucial challenge: how to ensure they are structured for both ease of use and long-term scalability. API design patterns offer solutions to this challenge, serving as a roadmap for creating efficient, reliable, and adaptable web services. This guide unpacks these patterns, equipping you with the approaches needed to turn your API into an exemplary model of good design.
