Datastream’s new append-only mode streamlines the process of replicating changes from an operational databases to BigQuery.

There are several K6 alternatives with various degrees of reporting, ease-of-use and extensibility. We review 5 of them here!

In the world of APIs, there are many different architectural styles for building APIs, and each one has its own benefits, cons, and ideal use cases, but two prominent approaches dominate the landscape: gRPC and REST. Both have their unique strengths and weaknesses, making them suitable for different scenarios. In this blog, we’ll delve into the key differences between gRPC and REST, explore their use cases, and help you decide which one might be the best fit for your project.

Engineering teams need a collaborative tool purpose-built for the complicated and multi-layered system architectures that underpin most companies’ operations.

Businesses must evolve and innovate to stay competitive in the ever-growing market. API adoption has witnessed an extraordinary surge across industries. Over 85% of enterprises are already using APIs or are in the process of doing so, a testament to how APIs are integral to defining business operations. APIs act as messengers, enabling different software applications to talk to each other and share data. Businesses can create a unified data architecture by integrating applications through API adoption.

80% of organizations use APIs, highlighting the significant adoption rate and an upward trend for greater API usage. APIs can be important for businesses, but creating them from scratch is complex. With the advent of various API generation tools, the task of developing APIs has been simplified. API generation tools automate the creation process of an API based on existing code and specifications, such as pre-defined data sources, functionalities, and access control.

How to use BigQuery vector search to analyze logs and asset metadata stored in BigQuery tables.

With today's fast-paced business environment, efficiency in data exchange holds the key to competitiveness and overall effectiveness in operations. EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) contributes massively to achieving this efficiency, redefining the way companies handle their data transactions. EDI is vital for doing business today. These automated workflows enable reduced transaction costs and improved data accuracy.

One of the new features of Xcode 16 is called "explicitly built modules". Behind this abstract name is something that makes builds faster and compiler errors more informative. As this is enabled by default for C and Objective-C code, you can experience some of the benefits instantly, but it can also be enabled for Swift code as an experimental feature. In this post, we'll explore how this feature works and the benefits it brings to projects that adopt it.

As programmers we know that, despite our best efforts, we’ll never be able to completely eliminate errors from our apps. The sheer complexity of modern apps, not least the reliance on dynamic (often third-party) inputs, means errors are inevitable and error handling (exception handling) is crucial to user experience.
