If you’ve been using APIs for a while, you know that reducing API bottlenecks is important to ensure optimal user experience. API bottlenecks can cause your system to grind to a halt, resulting in lost sales and unhappy customers. However, powerful open-source software that provides a complete REST API for your JavaScript, Python, or PHP applications can help you avoid this fate. The solution to prevent these bottlenecks relies on the developer platform you decide to use.

Using APIs (which are like pieces of software that let applications communicate with each other) is how microservices expose their functionalities and allow access to their services and their data.

Business data is continuously growing in complexity and quantity. With so many variables, it’s impossible to scan every dashboard or report with a fine-eye, or track every trend. To get the most insights out of your dashboards and reporting today requires a two-prong approach of both manual analysis and automated analysis - the latter of which requires the integration and use of what is called augmented analytics.
