Developer Relations is not simply a role or department at API-first companies. Developer relations is a mindset of getting developers adopt a platform and making them successful with their initiatives rather than attempting to sell to those developers. This makes developer relations different from traditional sales and marketing roles.

The Shoemaker (often) goes barefoot. It is often the case, that while one is working hard on helping their customers get better, they neglect their own processes, taking the same shortcuts they warn their clients against. It was like that at Keboola a few years back, until we agreed that this is no longer acceptable, and created a job role (mine) to apply our teachings internally as well.

You can evaluate the effectiveness of an advertising campaign as a whole. But in order to optimize it on an ongoing basis and get the most out of its budget, you need detailed data on the effectiveness of individual channels, creations, and locations. This is what UTM tags (or UTM codes) are for – parameters added to the landing page URL that don’t affect its display but allow the analytical package (e.g. Google Analytics) to record additional information about traffic sources.

Introduction Creating complex performance testing scenarios in JMeter can be a complicated but necessary problem you will encounter as you build tests to mirror real user behaviour in your testing. There are many add-ins that can support you in the creation of these scenarios. Which is good if they do what you want them to do.

Throughout the years, there has been many attempts to devise a universal format for defining Web API specifications. The objective was (and still is) to help stakeholders of the system to work with those APIs, without having access to the source code. Each new "universal" format came with the promise of being ubiquitous and all-encompassing, but eventually faded away due to various reasons, like OData and WSDL.

With increasing popularity among API Gateways, which provides authentication, rate-limiting and access control between applications that expose their APIs and the consumer of the APIs are the bedrock of API infrastructure. Simple architecture which bundles API related functionality inside a single component provides load balancing, caching and ability to scale to ensure high availability.

The introduction of AI into products and services – across all sectors – is creating new capabilities at a scale that software developers could never have dreamed of just a decade ago. But this development is not just about the tech.

Introduction The Beanshell Interpreter in JMeter can act as a server which as stated in the JMeter documentation is accessible by telnet or http. So what, I hear you say, well this can be useful and we will explore some of these uses in this Blog Post. Before we move on the definition of a Beanshell can be found on the official Web Site.

This blog post is a tutorial for writing Gatling scripts to load test web applications. It follows our first getting started with Gatling simulation scripts article. The application under test is a fake e-commerce. We are going to create a Virtual User that browses articles in this shop. To create a dynamic load test we will cover several topics.

Adding new functionalities into an existing application or making new code changes due to bug fixes can possibly result in new issues in a software application. QA teams need to follow different procedures to ensure no new issues have been introduced due to code changes. Regression testing is a test approach which helps testers make sure there are no new bugs due to code changes or because a new functionality was added to an existing one.
