Using gRPC with Python

Dec 18, 2024 By Kush Mansingh In Speedscale

Microservices are now the architecture of choice for many developers when crafting cloud-native applications. A microservices application is a collection of loosely coupled services that communicate with each other, enhancing collaboration, maintainability, scalability, and deployment. There are several options for enabling this communication between microservices. When it comes to Python, gRPC and REST are two extremely popular directions to go.

How We Built It: Managing Konnect Entities from K8s Clusters with KGO

Dec 18, 2024 By Patryk Małek In Kong

We recently released Kong Gateway Operator 1.4 with support for managing Konnect entities from within the Kubernetes clusters. This means users can now manage their Konnect configurations declaratively, through Kubernetes resources powered by Kong’s Custom Resource Definitions. For example, here’s how you can use a KongConsumer resource in Kubernetes to configure a Consumer in Konnect.

Should I Use an API Wrapper for SQL Server?

Dec 18, 2024 By Kevin McGahey In DreamFactory

SQL Server is a cornerstone RDBMS for enterprise applications, handling transactional workloads, analytics, and complex querying. As modern architectures increasingly rely on APIs for data access—particularly in microservices, cloud-native systems, and third-party integrations—efficient exposure of SQL Server data has become essential. API wrappers simplify this process by automating the creation of RESTful endpoints for SQL Server, reducing the need for custom API development.

What is a Memory Leak?

Dec 17, 2024 By Josh Thornton In Speedscale

Memory leaks happen when a program fails to release memory it no longer needs, and can be a big issue for developers and system administrators alike, as the gradual depletion of available memory often makes for complex troubleshooting and debugging. Given how the consequences of a memory leak can range from decreased system performance to outright crashes, it’s crucial to isolate the root cause of the leak quickly and efficiently.

EP14: Platform Engineering for Architects

Dec 17, 2024 By WSO2 In WSO2

In this episode, hosts Sanjiva and Asanka are joined by special guest Daniel Bryant to explore the evolving practice of platform engineering through the lens of software architecture. They discuss why platform engineering should have a product mindset with developers as its primary customers, how platform and software architectures are symbiotic, and why good APIs, abstractions, and automation are essential for success. The conversation also highlights the role of internal developer platforms (IDPs) in enabling efficient and scalable software delivery.

Why A Test Strategy Is Critical For Your Project Success

Dec 17, 2024 By Khushi Trivedi In Keploy

Testing without any direction is the same as navigating without a map. It is disorganized, full of errors, weak outcomes, and fraught with risks. This is where test strategy comes into play, for the clarity of the pathway, robust structure of tests, and alignment of the project’s goals. Have a read about how test planning could prove to be a game changer for your organizations.
