The Role of Traffic Replay in Production Traffic Replication

Testing in production is one of the most effective—and risky—ways of testing. The ability to use real-world conditions ensures reliability of tests, as no bugs can appear as a result of misconfigurations of the environment. However, using the same environment as your users also has an obvious downside: any bugs discovered by testing will immediately affect users.

The Fundamentals of API Management

Application programming interfaces (APIs), especially web service APIs, have completely transformed the software development industry. Surveys of CIOs and other enterprise tech leaders in the past 12 months show incredible growth in the number of API consumers, with almost all surveyed agreeing that APIs are a component of their strategies going forward.

Building a RESTful API with Java Spring Boot

Spring Boot is a popular framework for creating powerful RESTful APIs, and in this tutorial, we will use it to develop a simple API that simulates a credit score rating. The API endpoint we will create will allow a user to retrieve a credit score rating by sending a request to the API. However, it is important to note that we will not be linking up to any actual backend systems to pull a real credit score, instead we will use a random number generator to generate the score and return it to the user.

Because decentralized finance eliminates fees from banks or other financial institutions, anyone with an internet connection can use DeFi.
