We recently migrated our infrastructure from Kubernetes to HashiCorp Nomad. Soon after, we encountered service discovery issues and integrated Consul to address them. At this point, we were feeling a bit more relaxed, knowing that we could dedicate less time to infrastructure and focus more on product development, as we
I reviewed five successful products to identify 10 effective onboarding techniques for smoother customer onboarding in SaaS. Here are the insights.
Regex is essential yet challenging to retain, but with the right techniques anyone can have command over it.
Imagine real-time, interactive API docs that update directly from your codebase. LiveAPI is an AI-powered solution designed to remove the effort of traditional API documentation.
As REST approaches its 25th anniversary, it's a perfect time to reflect on its impact in the web era. With AI and automation on the rise, let's explore the evolution of APIs and what the future might hold for RESTful APIs in this new landscape.
Ever wonder how tree data structures are used in real-world applications? How are they stored in a database, and how can you perform CRUD operations on them from the frontend?
We recently switched from Kubernetes to Nomad to manage our infrastructure. At first, with two nodes and multiple services,we had a hard time getting the request routing to work reliably. In this post, I’ll walk through how we built an efficient and low-cost service discovery solution for our
In this article, we will explore essential metrics for enhancing your API documentation and setting up analytics to monitor live user interactions with APIs. Learn how to optimize your documentation and provide a better user experience
In this article, I will explain several design principles adopted from successful products, how these products strictly adhere to these principles, and how to implement these designs efficiently.
API docs are intended to be user-friendly, but they often fall short. This causes confusion and delayed integration time. These principles will help the docs become more benefitting to the user.
Managing SQL tasks manually can be tedious, so we developed a custom command to simplify these tasks. By integrating this tool into our workflow, we have significantly improved our productivity and minimized the risk of human error in SQL task management.
No matter the gamut of high-level languages available, sometimes one just has to dig into the stack. Usually that means C++. CMake is the de-facto build tool for C++. Here's a survival guide on it.
