As we've discussed in our previous Service Discovery post, decoupled services in a microservice architecture communicate via APIs. But what about the communication between clients outside of your system and the services within your application? How does that communication work? An API gateway is a powerful component in a microservice architecture. Pairing its functionality with a serverless platform like Koyeb saves engineering teams time and maximizes computing resources efficiency.

This blog post was written by Pedro Pereira as a guest author for Cloudera. Right now, someone somewhere is writing the next fake news story or editing a deepfake video. An authoritarian regime is manipulating an artificial intelligence (AI) system to spy on technology users. No matter how good the intentions behind the development of a technology, someone is bound to corrupt and manipulate it. Big data and AI amplify the problem. “If you have good intentions, you can make it very good.

One of the most powerful capabilities provided by Kong Konnect Enterprise is the support for Hybrid deployments. In other words, it implements distributed API Gateway Clusters with multiple instances running on several environments at the same time. Moreover, Kong Enterprise provides a new topology option, named Hybrid Mode, with a total separation of the Control Plane (CP) and Data Plane (DP).

APIs are the backbone of digital transformation. Via APIs, you can securely share data and functionality with developers both inside and outside of your organizational boundaries, letting you build applications faster, seamlessly connect and interact with partners, and drive new business revenue. Because APIs encompass business-critical information, any downtime or performance degradation can lead to significant loss in revenue, customers, and brand value.

With billions of industrial IoT (IIOT) devices in place, generating massive volumes of data from “the edge,” the potential for proof of concept success for use cases in the factory can be paralyzing. While the value of this digital revolution, aka Industry 4.0, is clear, realizing the full promise has been slow. Research and real-life experience from Accenture shows that many manufacturers get stuck early on or can’t get beyond proof-of-concept pilots to scale.
