Understanding how your APIs handle and process data drives better decision-making. Different kinds of data flow through APIs and the services that consume them. But the actual information lives inside the HTTP request and response bodies. If you can effectively leverage that data with the contextual API metrics like status codes and routes, you can better understand how your customers consume your services.

The rise of AI has transformed how businesses operate, creating a surge in demand for AI-driven APIs, particularly those that leverage Large Language Models (LLMs). These APIs are at the heart of many modern applications, driving automation, customer interaction, and sophisticated data analysis. However, with this increased use comes a need for organizations to effectively monitor and manage the costs and consumption of these APIs.

Choreo is a powerful internal developer platform (IDP) as a service built for enterprises, offering a comprehensive suite of tools for CI/CD, API management, DevOps, observability, and business insights. It provides an all-in-one solution for building, deploying, governing, and monitoring enterprise applications—eliminating the need for developers to build complex CI/CD workflows or set up custom platforms.

They say with great power comes great responsibility. As GenAI and machine learning technologies gain prominence, the need for AI governance – structures and policies that ensure AI is used ethically, responsibly, and transparently – has become critical to long-term success. The stakes are high, and in today’s tech ecosystem, the absence of responsible AI governance could be a company’s undoing.

We’re happy to announce that we’re consolidating all of our documentation into one easy to use site! Yep, we’re sunsetting the wiki and guide, and we’re moving it all to Docs.dreamfactory.com. This new site will be the go-to site for all technical documentation for DreamFactory.

At API Summit 2024, a common theme covered was how there's no AI without APIs. This couldn’t be more true for Writer, the full-stack generative AI platform for enterprises — and a notable user of the Kong Konnect unified API platform. Writer recently launched AI Studio, billed as “the fastest way to build generative AI apps.” AI Studio uses Writer API, Writer Framework, and Writer No Code to give people enterprise-grade generative AIs they can put in their own apps and services.

When it comes to web automation testing, selecting the right tool can be crucial for the success of your project. Both Cypress and Selenium have emerged as two of the most popular options, but they cater to different use cases and testing environments. Cypress is relatively new but quickly gaining popularity due to its easy setup, modern architecture, and fast performance. It’s specifically designed for front-end developers, making it ideal for testing modern web applications.

Understanding the difference between local and remote branches is crucial for working with Git effectively.

To define it simply, we can say- Functional testing ensures every part of an application does exactly what it’s supposed to do. It’s about verifying that the software’s functions and features behave as expected from an end-user’s perspective. And unlike other types of testing, such as performance or load testing, functional testing focuses on the functionality itself rather than factors like speed or stability under load.
