Excellent performance is key for any application, regardless of the framework or language. Today’s digital consumers demand speed and precision, and will quickly quit a sluggish app. That's why performance monitoring, especially Real User Monitoring (RUM), is important for every developer to implement. We recently launched RUM for BugSnag, providing developers the visibility they need to ensure great application performance.

Most developers are familiar with running Selenium or Appium tests on their local machine (or sending them to a local Appium server). While these capabilities are essential early on, many organizations need help scaling this approach. Building and maintaining internal device labs and infrastructure can quickly become a nightmare. Here, you'll learn about the differences between client-side and cloud-side tests and how to choose the right option for your project.

Regardless of industry, companies have been undergoing significant financial struggles. It’s led to supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, and increased operational costs. The strain of inflationary pressures, rising interest rates, and geopolitical uncertainties haven’t helped corporate balance sheets, either. As businesses strive to adapt to rapidly evolving consumer demands and digital transformation, they also face fierce competition, which has compressed profit margins.

In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, APIs are the backbone of seamless integration and innovation across various software platforms. As businesses and developers strive to create interconnected and efficient applications, having comprehensive and value-driven API documentation and API exploration tools within the same platform is indispensable.

SmartBear is excited to announce the release of SwaggerHub Portal, a feature of SwaggerHub allowing you to customize consumer-facing documentation for your APIs to maximize API discoverability. With its intuitive interface, you can easily create onboarding guides, reference documentation, and other materials that help developers both understand and integrate your APIs into their applications. With Portal, you can easily sync your API designs from SwaggerHub with zero context switching.

One of the hardest debates is deciding between a code-first API approach or design-first. In an ideal world, we would deliver our APIs at maximum velocity, with minimum maintenance. To maintain the appropriate API consumption, the world has looked at Amazon’s API Gateway as the orchestration of resources to create, deploy, and manage APIs at scale. One of the biggest challenges users face when using any API Gateway is the lack of consistency and standardization throughout the API experience.
