There is no doubt that organizations have a difficult task to address the current requirements for building and managing APIs, especially if they don’t use tools like API Management. APIs require up-to-date and strong documentation, increased security levels, comprehensive testing, routine versioning, and high-reliability to be appropriately utilized.

We all know that debugging serverless is time-consuming and hard and that AWS Console doesn’t make it much easier. CloudWatch isn’t quite known for its ease of use. Why? Well to start with, it has suboptimal search features, logs scattered across multiple buckets and groups, little visualization capability, and no structure of Lambda function invocations.

Mike Rahmati is the Head of the Advisory Board at Dashbird. He is the Co-Founder and CTO of Cloud Conformity (acquired by Trend Micro) – a Cloud Security Posture Management Solution – one of the largest and earliest adopters of serverless. Mike is also an active AWS Community Hero. In this article, he shares his journey and experience with serverless. Cloud Conformity was founded in 2014 as a result of our own experience of issues migrating to the cloud.

On the third week of re:Invent, our Werner gave to us: three french hens important architectural insights. Let's take a look at each of these insights and how it will shape our future in application architecture and development!

It’s safe to say that 2020 has been quite the year for everyone, and at Dashbird we’ve had quite a few changes of our own. It became the year full of improvements, growth, and feature releases that we had only imagined a year ago. This is our round-up of all the feature releases we launched this year. Just starting out with Dashbird? Great, you are in the right place.

You may be thinking, hey Sandro, what the hell? That is basic information and a straightforward task. Why do you want to write about that? Indeed it is, and you are right that it is an effortless and straightforward operation, at least at first glance. But like most things, nothing is that simple if you look closer. But let me explain better. Let’s imagine that we have an API call MoniorBizTalkPorts.

Say you are an awesome developer sitting contentedly at your desk when a Slack message suddenly interrupts your peaceful mental flow: It would appear there is a data issue with the new Activity History service released last month… Or at least a couple people think there is. Now, instead of making progress on new tasks, you now need to drop those and look into what’s happening here. Sigh.

Serverless is synonymous with Event-Driven Architecture, where Events are a fundamental block of information that is passed around to execute certain application logic. It is very important that events are delivered to the right destination with expected behavior to make sure the whole serverless application works as one. Events are relayed from one place to another through communication services, either in sequence or in parallel.

There’s a lot of talk about serverless computing lately, especially with the big tech giants investing in the idea and offering exclusive products built on it. But is it just a buzzword, or does it have the potential to become the next big thing in technology? Cloud computing was once a buzzword, too, one may argue. But that buzzword ended up revolutionizing the whole industry, with 90 percent of companies now using cloud hosting.
