How to Conduct an HTTP/2 Test on APIs
Slowly but surely, HTTP/2 has become the preferred protocol for transferring data files between clients and servers. In contrast, HTTP/1, which once stood as the sole method for loading web applications, is now falling short, particularly in terms of user experience. Since 2015, HTTP/2 APIs have taken the lead with lightning-fast server responses.
A Guide to Kubernetes Performance Testing: Top 5 Tools & Methodologies for Load Testing
Kubernetes has become the dominant orchestration platform for cloud-native apps– and for good reason. It can be a powerful tool in your software development lifecycle. But how do you know if your Kubernetes-based app can handle the demands of production traffic? Kubernetes alone isn’t always enough to ensure your app’s performance under load. In many cases, it is, but it’s always wise to know your application’s limits.
How to Automate Your Megaport Infrastructure With APIs
Learn how to transform your network efficiency and interoperability, all from a single interface. As networks expand and automation becomes the norm, API usage has exploded; in today’s digital landscape, 90% of developers are now utilizing APIs. APIs are no longer just technical constructs, confined to the dark corners of software engineers – they’re now the lifeblood of many companies. API tools allow you to connect to diverse data sources, supporting interoperability and innovation.
Kubernetes Load Testing: How JMeter and Speedscale Compare
At some point, your development team may be considering implementing load testing (also known as stress testing) as part of your software testing process. Load testing validates that your web app is able to withstand a large number of simultaneous users, decreasing the chance that any traffic spikes will bring down your services once deployed. These stress tests can be highly granular, giving you the opportunity to test run virtually unlimited strategies before they are set into the wild.
Ways to Use Mock Services in Software Development
Mocking APIs is a popular practice in software development. An increasing number of developers are reaping the benefits and no longer using their valuable time to spin up duplicate resources. Many mock services do not require account creation, making them easy to use and privacy-friendly. In the rest of this article, we explain what mock APIs are, when you should think about using them, and what solutions are available within the open-source and proprietary markets.

GoReplay vs Speedscale for Kubernetes Load Testing
GoReplay and Speedscale are two popular tools commonly used for load testing. Both share traffic shadowing as a core feature. This article compares both tools against the following criteria: For more Kubernetes load testing comparisons, check out our other posts.
How NaaS and APIs are reshaping enterprise connectivity
As enterprises continue to migrate workloads to cloud environments, they are reaping significant benefits, such as scalability, agility, and the ability to deploy applications in near real-time. However, these advantages are often undermined by the limitations of legacy networks. Traditional networks, restricted by long-term contracts and inflexible delivery timelines, are no longer fit for purpose in a cloud-driven world.
