It’s only been a couple of months since OpenAI introduced its latest low-cost API for developers to leverage ChatGPT in their applications and already many engineering teams have jumped headlong into new integrations. But developers experimenting with the possibilities of how ChatGPT can boost their software should temper that with some risk analysis and threat […]
State of Developer Experience Report Finds Growing API Reliance
Web APIs continue to grow in interest among developer users. APIs can empower new customer experiences and help engineers avoid rebuilding common functions.

Postman Releases Tool for Building Apps Using APIs
Postman today made generally available a visual tool infused with artificial intelligence (AI) that makes it simpler to build software by invoking application programming interfaces (APIs) found on its network. Shamasis Bhattacharya, chief software architect for Postman API, said Postman Flows makes it possible to use a low-code tool to build software using tens of […]
Understanding Cloud APIs
Six out of every 10 businesses had moved their workloads to the cloud as of last year. More steady traffic in the cloud and more direct cloud instances mean more to juggle–and the need for greater customization and integration. That’s where APIs come in. APIs are doing for the cloud what they did for on-premises […]
Five Tips for Moving IT Ops to DevOps
The era of siloed development and operations functions is rapidly coming to an end. The concept of DevOps has already closed the gap between IT and developers, but as I speak with customers around the globe, one theme continues to arise. Many systems administrators are ill-equipped to handle the shift from IT Ops to DevOps […]
The API Economy: Increasing Potential to Monetize Public APIs
API-first strategies are becoming more commonplace throughout today’s digital strata. APIs connect microservices architectures, power new digital transformations and help development teams avoid reinventing the wheel for common functions. And although most are built to connect internal components, studies indicate a movement toward more externalization and monetization of public APIs. Over three-fourths of developers now […]
Why GraphQL Will Reign King
After years of development, GraphQL is set to reign as the go-to API for data fetching. But what is GraphQL? Simply put, it’s a query language that allows you to fetch data from any server, and it’s a noteworthy alternative to the likes of other web service development styles like representational state transfer (REST) and […]
5 GraphQL Trends to Watch in 2023
The GraphQL query language had a big year in 2022. We witnessed its increase in production use cases, solving overfetching and underfetching concerns that plagued traditional API integrations. GraphQL can significantly improve usability, aggregate multiple services and optimize how data is ported from system to system. Yet, GraphQL is also prone to new security concerns. […]
Survey Sheds Light On Cloud, API Expertise Skills Gap
Enterprise IT faces a three-pronged onslaught: Digital transformation, open APIs and security threats. First, most organizations are still navigating ongoing digital transformations and cloud migrations. Second, development teams continue to increase their use of open APIs, leading to sprawl concerns. And third, we’ve witnessed a slew of cybersecurity threats that appear to be growing in […]
