Considerations for Testing gRPC Streams

If you’ve spent any time building cloud-native systems, you’ve probably tripped over the tricky beast that is gRPC streaming. It’s powerful, flexible, and feels like magic when it works. But the minute you need to test it? Suddenly, you’re in “hold my coffee, I need a week” territory. One of the most common places we see gRPC streams in the wild is when clients connect to asynchronous message buses like Google Pub/Sub.

How to Build a CI/CD Pipeline for APIs Using WSO2 API Manager and GitOps

Continuous integration and continuous delivery/deployment (CI/CD) in API management refers to the automation of building, testing, publishing, and promoting APIs across environments (development, staging, and production) using CI/CD practices. It brings DevOps principles to the API lifecycle, enabling faster and more reliable API releases.

Your guide to DevOps and CI/CD in mobile development

DevOps stands for Development and Operations. The term is a combination of: DevOps originated from the growing need to connect the silos between software development and IT operations. The adoption of agile practices in software development teams enabled developers to release software faster and more reliably. As developers sped up their processes, the Operations side of the organization started to struggle with the impact of agile on deployment, maintenance and stability.

Shift Left on Performance Testing - Without Killing Developer Velocity

Traditional performance testing often comes late in the delivery cycle, typically just before release. By then, performance issues are usually quite expensive to fix, can delay deployments, and frustrate development velocity. A Shift Left testing approach addresses this by integrating performance testing early in the development cycle so issues surface while they’re still easy and cheap to fix.

Announcing terraform-provider-konnect v3

It’s been almost a year since we released our Konnect Terraform provider. In that time we’ve seen over 300,000 installs, have 1.7 times as many resources available, and have expanded the provider to include data sources to enable federated management of your Konnect organization. There have been many changes in the last year, but there are some changes that we’ve been holding off on as they would break your CI/CD pipelines.

5 Critical DevOps Bottlenecks Caused by Traditional Test Data Practices

As enterprises scale their DevOps initiatives, DevOps bottlenecks are emerging from an unexpected source: inadequate test data management practices. But what can you do about it? In this blog, we will explore the common drawbacks in traditional test data management practices. Then, let’s dive into how real-life enterprises are overcoming DevOps bottlenecks with proven solutions that accelerate delivery and reduce operational risks.

Don't Just Monitor SLAs - Validate Them Automatically

Service level agreements (SLAs) are the contractual backbone between customers and technology vendors, outlining expected service availability, performance metrics, and remedies like service credits when service providers fail to meet agreed-upon service levels. This service agreement assures both the technical quality as well as the service quality of the services provided, and underpins the value perspective of the client.

Transforming Snapshots with Templates

Ever wished you could save and reuse your API traffic transformations? With Speedscale's new snapshot templates feature, you can! In this demo, we'll walk you through how to: Find and filter API traffic to create a snapshot. Transform sensitive data, like authentication tokens, with templates. Apply those saved templates to new snapshots instantly, saving you time and ensuring consistency. Whether you're looking to automate your testing or handle sensitive data more efficiently, our new templates feature makes it easier than ever to manage your API snapshots.

Zero Trust Architecture Needs Zero Guesswork

The Zero Trust model has fundamentally shifted how organizations secure their applications and infrastructure. Instead of assuming anything inside your network is safe, the Zero Trust security model requires continuous verification of every identity, every device, and every access request across the entire trust model, forcing users and devices to prove that they can access what they are trying to access.

DevOps Readiness Audit: A Step-by-Step Guide for IT Teams

Is your IT department prepared to implement DevOps? Assessing your current situation before implementing automation and CI/CD pipelines is crucial. A DevOps Readiness Audit can help with that. Consider it your strategic checkpoint, an evaluation that enables you to identify bottlenecks, bring stakeholders together, and create a strong basis for a successful DevOps deployment.
