More than 90% of developers use APIs regularly, according to Slashdata, with most (69%) using third-party APIs. At the same time, many businesses are recognizing the value of building API ecosystems. For instance, Expedia generates over 90% of its revenue from APIs, enabling third-party websites to book flights, cars, and hotels through its platform. With a growing number of APIs to choose from, discoverability is critical for the success of data-driven businesses.

I once heard someone say, “What the cloud migration strategies lack at the moment is a methodology to Lift-and-Shift connections to the cloud.” Let’s digest that. In today’s landscape, maintaining a competitive edge and delivering a high-quality customer experience is becoming synonymous with migrating to the cloud. As of 2022, 57% of organizations are migrating more workloads to the cloud.

Many API developers and companies struggle to find ways to easily set up systems to monetize their APIs. Some are simple but not customizable while others are complex and require massive engineering effort to actually get it all running. To make things easier, Moesif created the Billing Meters feature which allows for massive customization with a minimal amount of code and engineering effort.

Adopting GraphQL and implementing GraphQL testing have become critical in the API-first landscape. The skyrocketing demand for modern software has put the importance of maintainable, functional, and scalable code on top. To enable independent evolution and decouple the front end from the backend, manual and automated API testing needs to take place for SOAP and REST architecture styles.

Testing asynchronous APIs (AsyncAPIs) is becoming increasingly important as more and more APIs adopt asynchronous communication patterns. ReadyAPI now supports testing of AsyncAPIs, making it an even better tool for API testing. In this blog post, we’ll provide step by step guidelines on how to import your AsyncAPIs from SwaggerHub into ReadyAPI and how to test them. Hopefully, this will help you get started with testing your own asynchronous APIs.

Developers often build high-performing, scalable applications using GraphQL and PostgreSQL to define data structure and achieve reliability, scalability, and high performance. First, however, selecting the appropriate framework to simplify and streamline the development process is crucial while building a GraphQL API with PostgreSQL. This blog will explore the top tools for building GraphQL APIs with PostgreSQL, including Hasura, Postgraphile, Prisma, and GraphQL Nexus.
