At Kong, we take the robustness and performance of our gateway product seriously, dedicating ourselves to maintaining high standards through a robust internal benchmark framework and infrastructure. Our setup includes a dedicated bare metal cluster for running performance tests, seamlessly integrated into our CI/CD process. Moreover, we conduct extensive performance testing for each major, minor, and patch release candidate.

Table driven tests, also known as parameterized tests, have became very popular over the past few years, due to their ability to eliminate repetition. Table driven tests make it quite a bit easier to re-use the same values for different sets of tests by just moving the table outside of the scope of the test function. Different tests may benefit from the same input, and each test may have completely different configration, concurrency etc…

Speed up your builds. In this blog post, we take a closer look at Bazel's Remote Caching. We explore how the API specification and client-side implementation can dramatically reduce build times through efficient cache reuse. A must-read for developers seeking efficiency.

In this guide, we document the process of building mock APIs in Kubernetes from traffic using Speedscale.

Microsoft Graph API allows developers to access data and services across a wide range of Microsoft cloud services. Admittedly setting up permissions and security can be challenging, but once that is sorted, you will be able to access Microsoft services such as Office365, Outlook and Azure. Calling the Graph API with Linx allows you to efficiently automate tasks, or integrate with Microsoft products to ensure that functionality and data is accessible by your other systems.

APIs are the backbone of the digital world. Every time you use an application such as Facebook or Instagram, or even check the weather, it is likely that some APIs are at work. They are the middleman of apps and web services, and API testing is crucial to ensure that this middleman works seamlessly. In this article, we’ll explore the concept of API testing in depth. We’ll also show you how easy and simple it is to automate API testing with just a few steps.
