The Life of an API Gateway Request (Part 1)

The inner workings of an API gateway request can be difficult to understand because of its scale. To provide some orientation, we will use the real world as a reference, from planet-spanning infrastructure to a person eating a chocolate bar (processing a server response in a plugin). This series will divide the abstraction space of how Kong Gateway processes requests into four different layers.

Managing APIs at Scale in a Kubernetes Environment - Part II

In the last blog, we discussed the challenges in managing APIs at scale in a Kubernetes environment. We also discussed how deploying a Kubernetes Ingress Controller or an API gateway can help you address those challenges. In this blog, we will briefly touch upon some of the similarities and differences between an API gateway and Kubernetes Ingress.

A Practical Guide to Automated Testing Strategy: Benefits, Best Practices, and More

An automated testing strategy answers the who, what, when, why, and how of software test automation. While automation can be used for many kinds of software testing, in this post, we’re going to focus on the steps you should take when developing a strategy for functional UI testing (also known as end-to-end testing). End-to-end testing simulates real user conditions to test the functionality of an application from the front-end user interface.

The Great Data Revolution Is Here, and Qlik Customers Are at the Heart of It
