cURL is a command-line utility and a library for receiving and sending data between a client and a server, or any two machines connected via the internet. HTTP, FTP, IMAP, LDAP, POP3, SMTP, and a variety of other protocols are supported. cURL is a project with the primary goal of creating two products: Both the tool and the library use Internet protocols to transport resources given as URLs. Curl is in charge of anything and anything that has to do with Internet protocol transfers.

As the software application world moves from monolith architectures to microservices, we are also seeing a shift toward developing modular and reusable APIs. According to APIOps, reusable APIs are consumable APIs, which means they must be well-documented and compliant. The separation between the designers, builders and consumers of an API grows larger and larger, making the API specification even more central to that API’s success.

Artificial intelligence is transforming software development. From the code to the deployment, AI is slowly but surely upping its game and helping us discover a brand new paradigm for inventing technology. Algorithm-based machine learning is being used to accelerate the software development lifecycle and AI is supporting developers to optimize software workflow at every stage of the development process.

Here we are, our screens split and fingers poised to forage through two days of fresh Kafka content at Kafka Summit Americas. Tweet us your #KafkaSummit highlights if they’re missing here and we can add them to the round-up.

Mobile app testing can be time-consuming, error-prone, and sometimes expensive if not done the right way. But mobile app testing is a critical part of the development process, so skipping it comes at a huge cost to end UX. To compete with the millions of mobile apps on the market, your set of best practices must ensure that the user experience is incredible for every consumer every time they use your app, starting from the first try. Not sure where to begin?

While traditional ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) collects data within a centralized data warehouse, reverse ETL flips the target and destination of the standard ETL process. This allows information to be pushed out of data warehouses and into powerful third-party operational systems that can provide better analytics and reporting services. With the Xplenty platform and its ETL tools, all information is sent between warehouses and third-party operational systems in an efficient and secure manner.

If you're looking for a better way to organize your data and ensure it stays up-to-date, you need to start utilizing CDC processes today. Change data capture uses various techniques to detect changes made in source tables and databases in real-time. Read on to learn more about change data capture and how it can be implemented to better serve your business.

There are many ways that Apache Kafka has been deployed in the field. In our Kafka Summit 2021 presentation, we took a brief overview of many different configurations that have been observed to date. In this blog series, we will discuss each of these deployments and the deployment choices made along with how they impact reliability.

Every business, large or small, needs applications. Naturally, to keep up with this need, application designers and developers need to stay on their toes with app creation. But building applications is no piece of cake; developers need to stay abreast with the latest designing trends, tech know-how, and hands-on app testing experience, not to mention, possess incredible working speed.

In a series of four articles I’m going to describe the foundational technology behind CodeZero, describe some of its features, and show how it can be of tremendous benefit to any development team or individual deploying their software to Kubernetes. You can read the first article on Medium, where I dive into some of the core concepts that you need to understand to get the most out of CodeZero.
