In this article, we are going to explore why the Stripe developer experience is so passionately supported by thousands of developers globally. One of Stripe’s missions is to increase the GDP of the internet, and over the last decade, they’ve successfully executed 250 million API requests per day and over 91 billion requests per year through their APIs.

APIs can have a huge impact on your business, creating value and delivering new income streams. But they don’t always do so in the way you might have had envisioned at the outset. Which means, when it comes to API monetization, it can pay to be prepared for the unexpected.

Say you’re running a web service that requires input. In turn, the web service delivers it to another backend service. If the backend service isn’t available for an extended time, do you have a fail-proof system in place? This is where the circuit breaker design pattern comes in.

In the last post we covered the industry shift towards ARM machines for both local and production software engineering. Last time we learned how to create Docker images that would work on multiple architectures for dev machines. Now we want to take this portability and leverage it for cost savings in production. You may be able to transition some of your services into multi-architecture builds.

Modern engineering and product teams feel the pressure to accelerate the feedback loop to developers, shorten release cycles, and deliver high-quality results quickly. For many, fusing manual strategies with automated software testing services is part of the solution to ensure consistency and immediate test execution. We agree!

Ask any executive if they know what’s going on in their call center, and they’ll assure you they are in control and they know what’s going on.
