Data extraction is critical in 2025 as companies handle massive data volumes, expected to reach 175 zettabytes globally. Here's a quick breakdown of the best methods to extract, manage, and analyze data effectively.

When running tests in a CI/CD pipeline, relying on external APIs can introduce instability, slow down execution, and even lead to failed builds due to rate limits or API downtime. Fortunately proxymock provides a solution by capturing API interactions and running a local mock server, enabling fully isolated and repeatable tests. In this blog, we’ll demonstrate how to integrate proxymock into a GitHub Actions CI pipeline using a demo app called outerspace-go.

In 2025, APIs continue to evolve, with gRPC and REST being two dominant architectures. Understanding their differences is crucial for modern software development. 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.

APIs power everything—from your favorite apps to critical business systems. But what happens when your API is subjected to large or unexpected traffic, security threats, or plunges under load? One weak link can destroy UX, destroy data or take down your service. API testing serves as your safety system beyond being a mandatory requirement. Faster development schedules and increased user demands during 2025 require organizations to make essential testing tool choices.

API is the backbone of many software architecture. However, it is also one of the major points of technical conflict. When a major code update happens, it is really important to check on these APIs to ensure that those code modifications did not inadvertently break existing functionality. This is why API regression testing should be considered in your regression test planning.

Basic Authentication is a simple way to secure REST APIs using a username and password. Here's what you need to know.

Regulated industries – from healthcare to finance – face a dual challenge: delivering high-quality software at speed while maintaining strict compliance with industry regulations. The stakes are high, with non-compliance leading to massive fines, reputational damage, loss of customer trust and operational disruptions. The good news? Compliance doesn’t have to be a bottleneck. With the right tools, it can become a seamless part of your development process.
