API management and API security are like two sides of a coin, intrinsically part of a greater whole. That is why the recent KuppingerCole report, “Leadership Compass: API Security and Management,” is particularly useful for organizations seeking to develop or update their API strategies. With the report’s comprehensive view of both API management and security, it offers an invaluable resource for understanding their interplay.

Imagine you’re a miner with a canary in a cage. If the air is toxic, the canary reacts first, giving you a heads-up. Canary testing works in a similar fashion for your software. Instead of releasing the whole flock (users) into a potentially toxic or buggy environment, you release just one canary (a small subset of users) to test the waters.

Gen AI is quickly reshaping industries, and the pace of innovation is incredible to witness. The introduction of ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion and many more incredible tools have opened up new possibilities we couldn’t have imagined 18 months ago. While building gen AI application pilots is fairly straightforward, scaling them to production-ready, customer-facing implementations is a novel challenge for enterprises, and especially for the financial services sector.

We are thrilled to announce the public beta release of Multiplayer, a platform created to transform the way teams design, develop, and manage distributed software.

During my recent deep dive into new technologies, I found the classic issues of integrating numerous tech tools effectively. I've written about my experiences to save you the trouble I had. One essential component I've looked into is using Docker to implement containerization. While the initial setup takes a little longer, it significantly simplifies and optimizes your technological stack.

Sifting through vast amounts of data for usable information is both challenging and time-consuming for independent software vendors (ISV) in today’s fast-paced market. But without a continuous search for timely insights, you risk your end-users missing critical business opportunities, or failing to address emerging issues in their data promptly, potentially leading to dissatisfaction and churn.

As the world grapples with the escalating climate crisis, many industries are re-examining their operations to identify and implement sustainable practices. The telecommunications industry is no exception. Telecom companies face growing pressure from consumers, investors and regulators to reduce their carbon footprint and achieve net-zero emissions. This shift towards sustainability aligns with environmental responsibility and presents lucrative business opportunities for telecoms.

An API’s main purpose is to allow multiple applications to communicate with one another. However, APIs can easily be made more secure and efficient through API gateways which provide a unified entry point across internal APIs. This unified entry point allows for greater control over user access and helps elevate API security measures like rate limiting while also applying security policies like OAuth or JWT. Plus, API gateways are extremely beneficial for securing microservices.
