When comparing the types of APIs (application programming interfaces), API architecture types and different API categories are incredibly important. The following article will discuss API architecture and protocol types (REST and SOAP) and three types of API categories (open, internal, and partner). Here’s the key things to know about the types of APIs your organization might need: Table of Contents.

We all love the ease and affordability of SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) tools. We expect our SaaS apps to be available whenever we need them, building our business processes around this assumption. At WSO2, we are grateful that many organizations trust our SaaS solutions, and we continually work to ensure this trust is well-founded. It’s worth taking a moment to understand the impact when those mission-critical apps go offline. Just one minute of downtime can cost businesses thousands of dollars.

Many organizations are turning to SharePoint to store their files and share documents. Allowing your systems to access these files might seem like a challenge at first, but with the help of the Microsoft Graph API, you can quickly download the file to start processing on your back-end. Download the example solution to get started. Use the created functions in your solution to simplify Microsoft Graph integration.

Table driven tests, also known as parameterized tests, have became very popular over the past few years, due to their ability to eliminate repetition. Table driven tests make it quite a bit easier to re-use the same values for different sets of tests by just moving the table outside of the scope of the test function. Different tests may benefit from the same input, and each test may have completely different configration, concurrency etc…

How did the Kong Mesh team design and bring Kong Mesh into Kong Konnect? In this blog post, we’re going to dive into this question to understand what’s going on behind the scenes with Mesh Manager.

At Kong, we take the robustness and performance of our gateway product seriously, dedicating ourselves to maintaining high standards through a robust internal benchmark framework and infrastructure. Our setup includes a dedicated bare metal cluster for running performance tests, seamlessly integrated into our CI/CD process. Moreover, we conduct extensive performance testing for each major, minor, and patch release candidate.

Speed up your builds. In this blog post, we take a closer look at Bazel's Remote Caching. We explore how the API specification and client-side implementation can dramatically reduce build times through efficient cache reuse. A must-read for developers seeking efficiency.

In this guide, we document the process of building mock APIs in Kubernetes from traffic using Speedscale.

Application programming interfaces (APIs) are everywhere, and they play a role in running nearly everything in our digital-centric lives. Each time we launch a web page or an app on our phone, dozens of API calls are happening in the background to render an experience heavily customized to you. Increasingly, even the everyday items in your home are talking to APIs — from smart speakers like Amazon Echo to appliances, electricity meters, and lightbulbs.
