The latest News and Information on API Development, Management, Monitoring, and related technologies.
Welcome to day one of our very first Launch Week! In the upcoming days, we’ll release new features every day. We’ll share new alerting capabilities, unlock the power of Playwright, and will talk about new ways to control and write your Browser checks. It’ll be a nice feature and improvements mix, trust me! To kick things off, let’s have a look at what’s new in the world of monitoring and alerting.
The Checkly development team is continually improving our platform and user experience, and we’re excited to unveil some new features that we’ve been working on during our first ever Checkly Launch Week. From October 11th through 14th, we’ll be announcing and discussing our latest innovations, new features, functionality, and capabilities for users every single day of the week.
Have you ever experienced the problem where your code is broken in production, but everything runs correctly in your dev environment? This can be really challenging because you have limited information once something is in production, and you can't easily make changes and try different code. Speedscale production data simulation lets you securely capture the production application traffic, normalize the data, and replay it directly in your dev environment. There are a lot of challenges with trying to replicate the production environment in non-prod.
gRPC is an inter-process communication protocol used in high-performance applications in cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), mobile computing, and microservices environments. This article examines how gRPC works, how to use it, and how it compares to other popular API architectures. It also discusses a unique use case where gRPC excels.
Jest is a JavaScript-based testing framework that lets you test both front-end and back-end applications. Jest is great for validation because it comes bundled with tools that make writing tests more manageable. While Jest is most often used for simple API testing scenarios and assertions, it can also be used for testing complex data structures. In this tutorial, we will go through how to use Jest to test nested API responses and hopefully have fun in the process.
The demand for continuous innovation and faster delivery requires a fresh approach to monitoring modern apps and APIs. As development environments grow increasingly dynamic and complex, monitoring performance through a platform that is fully programmable, handles app and API-testing, is optimized for developers, and integrates with existing tools and workflows becomes increasingly critical.
