It has been a week since several of our mVISE and elastic.io developers attended the Vodafone TOBi Hackathon at the Vodafone Sky Lounge in Düsseldorf. Some of them were in the 3rd place team and all contributed greatly to the future success of the TOBi Chatbot. Teams formed, ideas flowed, problems were overcome, and the air was filled with the sounds of developer’s keystrokes!
By employing API analytics platforms Customer Success Management (CSM) teams can proactively help customers reach their goals, which in turn encourages them to renew their subscription and upgrade their contract. Getting your customers to love you is snap with customer-centric API analytics: integrations will happen faster, support will be more on-point and you’ll be set-up to provide real ongoing value.
Today, countless engineering teams have leveraged API monitoring to track infrastructure health and report when services are down or unhealthy. There are a variety of API metrics that can be tracked that are aligned with engineering goals such as uptime, average latency, requests per minute, and errors per minute.

Since its release in 2015, GraphQL has become the alternative to REST. It gives frontend developers the flexibility they craved for so long. Over are the days of begging backend developers for one-purpose-endpoints. Now a query can define all the data that is needed and request it in one go, cutting latency down by quite a bit, at least in theory. With REST, things were entirely a bit simpler — especially monitoring.
We have just released the PHP Extension version 5.0.62 which includes a new feature, instrumentation for GraphQL queries made using the webonyx/graphql-php package, the most widespread GraphQL server package for PHP, for example by Magento 2.
As an all-encompassing marketplace, RapidAPI has become a popular option for developers and vendors alike. So what does it have to offer and how can you harness it effectively to get the most out of its features and benefits?
