It makes it easy to deploy, manage, and distribute data streams to third party developers as realtime APIs - so they can consume and integrate those data streams into their own apps. As realtime API adoption increases so does complexity, cost, and friction of integration for developers wanting to consume realtime data. But with API Streamer, out-of-the-box realtime API management tools and a proven cloud distribution network mean creating self-service realtime API programs has fixed initial (near-zero) and ongoing engineering cost.

7 Tips to Write Great API Documentation

Developers build REST APIs so people can use their applications, and they write great API documentation so people can use their APIs. But for some reason, writing API documentation that is both pleasurable to read and easy to work with is a skill that many developers lack, so let’s get this clear: Your API is only as great as your API documentation. Below, we explore seven tips for writing great API documentation.

API Load Testing Mistake #2: Not Calibrating Virtual Users to Real Users - @SmartBear Talks

A huge part of your strategic plan for load tests built into your app development business processes is understanding and ensuring that the user profiles or the actions that your simulated users take in any testing environment accurately depict what happens in a real-world use case. That's why you need to be very careful with setting up virtual users in your load tests. We will investigate possible issues with Damion White, software testing consultant from WiseClouds, in this video.
