One major reason for digging into API and product analytics is to be able to easily identify trends in the data. Of course, trends can be very tough to see when looking at something like raw API call logs but can be much easier when looking at a chart aimed at easily allowing you to visualize trends. Enter the Time Series chart.
Many API developers and companies struggle to find ways to set up systems to monetize their APIs easily. Some are simple but not customizable and some are complex and require massive engineering effort to actually get it all running. To make things easier, Moesif created the Billing Meters feature which gives massive customizability but with a minimal amount of code and engineering effort to monetize APIs.
WSO2 recently announced the release of their Private CIAM Cloud service, and it made me think about the changing role of personal identity versus business entity in today’s complex distributed software environments. The CIAM space has evolved far beyond the traditional end user’s need for identity and access to applications in a B2C (business to customer) scenario.
Speedscale creates load tests from recorded traffic so generating load is pretty core to what we do. As a brief overview, we record traffic from your service in one environment and replay it in another, optionally increasing load several fold. During a replay the Speedscale load generator makes requests against the system under test (SUT), with the responses from external dependencies like APIs or a payment processor optionally mocked out for consistency. Your service is the SUT here. Currently the load generator runs as a single process, usually inside a pod in Kubernetes. So how fast is this thing, and how did we get to where we are today?
