Think about a time when insufficient information or inaccessible data slowed you down. Or maybe a time when your work required manual data entry that resulted in human error and rework, taking time away from higher value tasks. These moments of process frustration and inefficiency are exactly what workflow optimization helps address. Workflow optimization describes the strategies and measures taken to improve the flow of daily tasks and make processes more efficient.

Digitalization, as we’re talking about in this article, refers to the strategic use of digital technologies and analytics to shift customer interactions from physical locations to digital platforms like apps and online services.

Understanding API design is crucial for modern software development. Two popular approaches are GraphQL and REST. These technologies shape how data is exchanged and used over the internet, but they differ significantly in how they allow clients to interact with the server and retrieve data. Let's compare them in this article!

As the mobile app market continues to expand, the demand for robust and efficient testing solutions has never been greater. Traditional testing methods are proving inadequate in addressing the complexities and speed requirements of modern mobile applications. This blog explores how cloud mobile testing is transforming quality assurance (QA) in the mobile era, offering scalable, flexible, and cost-effective solutions that meet the demands of today’s fast-paced development environments.

This summer marks five years since we announced our first fully managed connector on Confluent Cloud in 2019, the Amazon S3 Sink Connector. Since then, our connector offerings have not only expanded significantly but also enabled teams to send hundreds of petabytes of data throughput.

Hey, you! Yeah, you! The puzzled-looking Spring Boot developer, scouring the web for a guide on integrating your microservices with Apache Kafka on Confluent Cloud with Stream Governance. Admit it, you’ve been Googling nonstop for the past hour and all you’ve found are examples using StringSerializer/StringDeserializer with not even the slightest mention of "schema registry-aware" serialization methods. And I bet the examples you found are implemented in Java.

Storing information in a relational database and sharing it via a RESTful API is a very common scenario these days. Depending on your RDBMS (relational database management system), this may take a lot of development effort. One solution that attempts to simplify the process is the PostgREST web server add-on for PostgreSQL. If your organization uses the PostgreSQL database, PostgREST quickly adds basic CRUD (create, read, update, delete) functions in an easy-to-use RESTful HTTP interface.
