SQL Server is a cornerstone RDBMS for enterprise applications, handling transactional workloads, analytics, and complex querying. As modern architectures increasingly rely on APIs for data access—particularly in microservices, cloud-native systems, and third-party integrations—efficient exposure of SQL Server data has become essential. API wrappers simplify this process by automating the creation of RESTful endpoints for SQL Server, reducing the need for custom API development.

Integrating legacy ERP systems with cloud platforms is a critical step for businesses aiming to improve operational efficiency and data accessibility. APIs play a key role by providing secure, standardized communication between systems. DreamFactory simplifies this process by automating the creation of REST APIs for SQL Server-based ERP systems.

Thanks to AI, a few people might be starting the new year with bright, shiny smiles. The technology has exploded in popularity and augmented almost everything, including a toothbrush and app combo that uses AI to optimize your dental hygiene habits. Teeth brushers aren’t the only ones grinning due to the AI explosion. Enterprise leaders have been cheerful about the advantages AI can bring to their company’s testing efforts and the software development lifecycle (SDLC).

As Salesforce expands its no-code capabilities, users transform into no-code developers as they create complex workflows using tools such as Lightning Web Pages and Salesforce Flow. As is the case with coded changes, these no-code changes impact and potentially introduce risk into critical processes. Thorough testing is needed to ensure changes align with business requirements and maintain system reliability.

2024 has been a year defined by technological innovation as the rise of AI made a profound splash for SAP-powered finance teams. On the other side of the coin, they also struggle with skills shortages that make it difficult to keep up with the speed of developing technology.

Logi Symphony from insightsoftware recognized as the premier embedded BI and analytics solution for deriving instant, data-driven insights.

Designing microservices using an event-driven approach has several benefits, including improved scalability, easier maintenance, clear separation of concerns, system resilience, and cost savings. With Apache Kafka as an event plane, services now have a durable, scalable, and reliable source of event data. From Kafka topics, a microservice can easily rebuild and restore the state of the data used to serve end users.

We hosted our first-ever Confluent AI Day on October 23 in San Francisco and virtually. It was sponsored by Confluent, AWS, and MongoDB, with a vibrant gathering of talent and innovation. With 200 attendees, the full-day event brought together AI developers, technology leaders, and startup innovators to explore how data streaming powers generative AI (GenAI) applications.
