Practical advice for starting your journey to analytics excellence.

In my previous post on scaling Kong deployments with and without a database, we covered the concepts of deploying Kong with and without a database, as well as using decK, distributed, and hybrid deployments. In this article, we take a tour of some of the possible Kubernetes deployments of Kong. Kubernetes (K8s) is the container orchestration war winner. While there are still deployments using other engines, we see K8s far more.

When writing your test automation scripts, it can be especially difficult to write code that adequately identifies visual defects. Typical functional tests do a poor job capturing all visual changes and they also leave you with lengthy and flaky code. And when your code becomes flaky, it becomes unreliable.

API gateways and load balancers are useful tools for building modern applications. While they have some functionality overlaps, they’re distinct tools with different purposes and use cases. In this article, we’ll discuss the differences between API gateways and load balancers, give examples of their implementations, and how to choose the right tool for your web application.

We’re excited to announce our latest release, packed with new features to take your testing to the next level. We built these features with testing efficiency in mind for quality engineering teams delivering quality releases at speed. Let’s begin! Our brand new API testing interface comes with powerful features that support real-time API response validation, testing of different API methods (GET, PUT, POST, DELETE, PATCH), and data-driven API testing.

Static Testing Techniques, also known as dry run testing, may give you a feeling of drowsiness, but don’t fall asleep yet! In technical words, this testing technique ensures the software development process runs smoothly and without a hitch. This technique involves analyzing the software documentation, code, and functional specifications. Yeah, it may sound bland, but it’s a necessary evil.

To build the highest quality product, you need to make sure requirements are met, tests are run, and issues are resolved. And this is particularly true if you're in a highly regulated industry. What's the best way to make sure this happens? Creating a requirements traceability matrix. 👀 Read the guide: What is a requirements traceability matrix >> For many organizations, a traceability matrix is first attempted in Microsoft Excel, but there's an easier way.

Your monthly debrief is here! Debug faster with error and crash reporting on real devices, test drive the latest features, and join us for an exciting game developer Meetup in San Francisco.

In this article, we’ll talk about the differences between an API gateway and an API proxy — as well as a reverse proxy. We’ll cover use cases and when each might be the right tool for the project at hand, including the advantages of API gateways over API proxies and reverse proxies.
