It’s Day 2 of our Launch Week, and we’re excited to unveil our new networking stack! If you're following us, you know that we're obsessed with performance: we want fast deployments and a speedy network once your apps are live. Long story short: while working on optimizing deployments speed, we hit limitations with our old stack, we decided to revamp everything and built a new networking stack for the platform.

In the business world, gaining the “unfair advantage” often seems like a strike of great luck and timing (think Zoom and the pandemic). But in reality, it’s often the result of deliberate strategies and actions (in Zoom’s case, delivering a superior user experience). One great strategy: getting the unfair advantage through a best-in-class technology ecosystem.

Version 15 of OctoPerf bring a huge focus on continuous integration and Devops practices. We've taken steps to highlight existing integrations, add many others and we've thrown an entirely new report type on top of it.

Ingestion and transformation are the primary workloads of real data warehouses.

There’s an interesting term in agriculture called the pesticide paradox. When a pesky insect infestation is threatening a farmer’s hard-earned harvest, he sprays the crop with pesticide, killing (most of) them in an instant. What a glorious win of man against nature! But there’s a catch: the tiny percentage of those insects which fortunately survive will develop a natural resistance to the pesticide.

Increasingly digital consumption of products and services, along with the shift to remote work and education, have significantly affected how software is developed and tested. According to Deloitte’s “2023 Quality Engineering Trends” report, “new technologies” is still the top factor driving testing spend.

API testing is critical to modern software development, ensuring that applications communicate seamlessly and function as expected. However, setting up testing environments that accurately mimic real-world conditions can be complex, time-consuming, and costly. APIs often change, and dependencies on third-party services or backend systems can delay the development process, making it challenging to conduct reliable tests in real-time.

Efficient and comprehensive testing is crucial in software development, and automated tests play a key role in ensuring product quality. Tools like Selenium Grid are designed to enhance testing efficiency by running tests across multiple browsers and operating systems simultaneously, reducing testing time from hours to minutes.

DreamFactory specialises in REST API generation for any number of database types however an underrepresented benefit is the ability to mount and manage any third party API via a HTTP service connector. This gives you the ability to generate documentation and secure an existing API as if it were created natively within DreamFactory.
