How to Manage Your API Policies with OPA (Open Policy Agent)

Oct 18, 2024 By Sven Bernhardt In Kong

APIs are essential to modern applications, but managing access and security policies can be complex. Traditional access control mechanisms can fall short when flexible, scalable, and fine-grained control over who can access specific resources is needed. This is where OPA (Open Policy Agent) steps in. OPA provides a unified framework for consistently defining and enforcing policies across microservices, APIs, Kubernetes clusters, and beyond. Consistent policy management is essential for enterprises.

Kubernetes Load Testing: How JMeter and Speedscale Compare

Oct 17, 2024 By Kasper Siig In Speedscale

At some point, your development team may be considering implementing load testing (also known as stress testing) as part of your software testing process. Load testing validates that your web app is able to withstand a large number of simultaneous users, decreasing the chance that any traffic spikes will bring down your services once deployed. These stress tests can be highly granular, giving you the opportunity to test run virtually unlimited strategies before they are set into the wild.

Simplifying AWS Testing: A Guide to AWS SDK Mock

Oct 17, 2024 By Shaun Duncan In Speedscale

Testing AWS services is an essential step in creating robust cloud applications. However, directly interacting with AWS during testing can be complicated, time-consuming, and expensive. The AWS SDK Mock is a JavaScript library designed to simplify this process by allowing developers to mock AWS SDK methods, making it easier to simulate AWS service interactions in a controlled environment. Primarily used with AWS SDK v2, AWS SDK Mock integrates with Sinon.js to mock AWS services like S3, SNS, and DynamoDB.

Ways to Use Mock Services in Software Development

Oct 17, 2024 By Kush Mansingh In Speedscale

Mocking APIs is a popular practice in software development. An increasing number of developers are reaping the benefits and no longer using their valuable time to spin up duplicate resources. Many mock services do not require account creation, making them easy to use and privacy-friendly. In the rest of this article, we explain what mock APIs are, when you should think about using them, and what solutions are available within the open-source and proprietary markets.

gRPC vs. REST: Key Similarities and Differences

Oct 16, 2024 By Jeremy H In DreamFactory

If you’re at all familiar with APIs, you know that REST APIs are the main API used, particularly when it comes to microservices and their applications. gRPC is a high-performance, binary, and strongly-typed protocol using HTTP/2, while REST is a simpler, text-based, and stateless protocol using HTTP with JSON/XML.
