Learn how to get started with Kong Gateway using Docker on your local machine, how to make your gateway publicly accessible using a Serverless Gateway, and how to set up a production deployment on Kubernetes (Amazon EKS).

Creating a Secure SIMATIC PLC REST API Using DreamFactory

Organizations deploying Siemens SIMATIC PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) will logically want to track and manage PLC metrics. Exactly how these metrics are managed will depend upon the specific needs of the organization. For instance, organizations that would like to send PLC data directly to a Microsoft SQL Server database can use the TDS (Tabular Data Stream) protocol. But what if you wanted to subsequently access this data via a REST API?

Simplifying the API Acronym: Your Ultimate Guide to Application Programming Interfaces

What does ‘API’ stand for, and why is it essential in the tech world? API, short for Application Programming Interface or the API acronym, is a crucial component that enables different software programs to communicate with each other. This article is your guide to understanding APIs: from their basic definition to their architectures, and their role in shaping modern digital experiences.

Calling other APIs with DreamFactory

Integrating and calling other APIs is an important step in the development process. APIs allow different systems to communicate and share data, enabling developers to build more dynamic and feature-rich applications. Whether it's accessing third-party services, aggregating data from multiple sources, or automating workflows, the ability to effectively integrate and call other APIs is a key component of a successful software strategy.
