Legacy applications pose multiple problems for data-driven organizations like yours. Outdated software might no longer receive support and maintenance from its vendor or might not integrate with modern technologies like cloud computing. Still, these applications are essential for day-to-day business tasks, and replacing them could impede productivity and profitability.

An API ecosystem refers to the interconnected network of applications, services, and APIs that collaborate to enable data exchange, functionality, and interactions between various software components. An API connects all the software developments so they can work together. Developers can connect apps that don’t normally work together, allowing for combined strengths and opportunities to close gaps in product capabilities.

Are you thinking about hand-coding an API? You have the perfect application in mind. It has an attractive UI and achieves everything the customer wants. However, it needs to connect with a Microsoft SQL Server database, so you have to start working on the data model and API. Hand coding APIs offers greater customization and control but is time-intensive, whereas API generation provides a faster, more streamlined approach with automated tools, albeit with less flexibility.

Nowadays, building robust and secure RESTful APIs is a fundamental task. However, developers often stumble upon a common challenge: Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) issues. These issues can hinder the integration of APIs from across different domains, leading to frustration and delays in development timelines. In this article, we’ll be discussing the intricacies of CORS, and figuring out why these security features are essential.

A SQL injection attack is an attempt to modify the syntax of a SQL query executed in conjunction with a user-initiated action within a software application. Some examples of user-initiated actions include searching for a product within an e-commerce catalog, adding a comment to a blog post, and creating a new user account. In each of these scenarios, the user uses a form to submit input (e.g.

If you’re at all familiar with APIs, you know that REST APIs are the main API used, particularly when it comes to microservices and their applications. gRPC is a high-performance, binary, and strongly-typed protocol using HTTP/2, while REST is a simpler, text-based, and stateless protocol using HTTP with JSON/XML.

Application programming interfaces (APIs) do a lot of behind-the-scenes work that you might never notice. When you look at the weather forecast on your smartphone, you get updated info because of an API. You rely on APIs when you sign into your email account, get driving directions, and book airplane tickets.

Containers and microservices are redefining the software development lifecycle. Developers are empowered to choose best of the breed languages, frameworks, and runtimes to develop software. DevOps teams are dealing with new packaging and deployment mechanisms. Container orchestration tools such as Docker Swarm, Kubernetes, Apache Mesos are changing the way applications are deployed and managed.

Serverless Computing is considered to be the fourth wave of computing where x86 servers, virtual machines, and containers represented the first three generations. With this new paradigm, developers can squarely focus on the code and without the need to deal with the underlying infrastructure. They never have to plan the number of servers, amount of storage, and the network topology of deployments. Since the platform deals with one function at a time, and functions are the fundamental deployment units, this model is often called Functions as a Service (FaaS).
