Dive into the essentials of DevOps and Mobile DevOps. This blog post covers the DevOps core principles, the differences between DevOps and Mobile DevOps, and the integration of security and engineering practices, alongside answers to common DevOps questions and a glossary of terms.

In the previous blog post we covered the high availability feature of Cloudera Operational Database (COD) in Amazon AWS. Cloudera recently released a new version of COD, which adds HA support to Microsoft Azure-based databases in the Cloud. In this post, we’ll perform a similar test to validate that the feature works as expected in Azure, too.

Apigee is a cloud-based API management tool. It integrates data from databases, warehouses, data lakes and SaaS services. It is a no-code tool making it a valuable asset for citizen integrators and developers alike. However, the platform was initially designed to build APIs for monoliths. It was not designed to handle microservices. Given we are in the age of digital transformation where microservices rule, Apigee may not be suitable for a lot of use cases.

API testing is a critical part of the software development lifecycle. If you’re not performance testing your APIs, you’re putting your entire system at risk. API testing is the process of verifying and validating the functionality, reliability, performance, and security of an API to ensure it meets its requirements and behaves as expected. This guide will discuss the importance of testing and how to test APIs.

Software integration is a key enabler of digital transformation. It optimizes data flow and system functionality within a modern enterprise to drive innovation and operational efficiency. Here are the 5 key takeaways from our Mastering Software Integration article.

Cron is a time-based job scheduler in Unix-like operating systems. It allows you to schedule tasks (or jobs) to run at specified intervals. Now, let’s get down to business – testing these Cron jobs to make sure they’re doing what they’re supposed to do. How can you be certain they’re doing what they’re supposed to? Enter Cron Job Testing – a crucial step in ensuring the reliability of your scheduled tasks.

When building APIs, developers face a crucial challenge: how to ensure they are structured for both ease of use and long-term scalability. API design patterns offer solutions to this challenge, serving as a roadmap for creating efficient, reliable, and adaptable web services. This guide unpacks these patterns, equipping you with the approaches needed to turn your API into an exemplary model of good design.
