Due to the increasing influence of businesses on APIs, the volume of APIs on which they rely, and the administrative challenges that APIs pose, API administration has gained popularity. For the most part, other apps don’t have the exact requirements or construction and management processes as APIs. Vital documentation, higher security standards, extensive testing, frequent versioning, and excellent reliability are all requirements for using APIs properly.

Lambda is the glue that holds serverless architectures together. Before its release, most users felt it was a matter of luck as to whether AWS would let you connect a service to another. If not, you had to spin up a VM or a container to transform the events from one service in a way that your target service could handle them. Since Lambda was easier to set up, people assumed that all code they would deploy on it would run faster and cheaper than on other compute services.

Suppose you are a user of the Microsoft integration stack, and your organization also uses SAP. In that case, you will likely have use cases where an IDOC triggers integration processes in SAP being published. One of the good things about Logic Apps on Azure is that a connector for SAP allows you to register to receive IDOCS published by SAP, and you can then use them in your integration processes.

As a developer, I love the versatility of Python. Over the years I have used Python for so many different use cases: game development, APIs, IoT, machine learning, and web development. It can scale tall applications in a single bound and take on any challenge faster than you can pip install flask. Something you learn very quickly in the world of app development is to build everything for scale.

Observability is a measure of how well we are able to infer the internal state of our application from its external outputs. It’s an important measure because it indirectly tells us how well we’d be able to troubleshoot problems that will inevitably arise in production. It’s been one of the hottest buzzwords in the cloud space for the last 5 years and the marketplace is swamped with observability vendors. Different tools employ different methodologies for collecting data.

Containers and microservices have revolutionized the way applications are deployed on the cloud. Since its launch in 2014, Kubernetes has become a standard tool for container orchestration. It provides a set of primitives to run resilient, distributed applications. One of the key difficulties that developers face is being able to focus more on the details of the code than the infrastructure for it. The serverless approach to computing can be an effective way to solve this problem.

Today I’m going to speak about another important Best practice, Tips and Tricks that you need to take into consideration while you are designing your business processes (Logic Apps): using other HTTP Methods then POST.

Things are changing. Technology differences between serverless and container-based systems are rapidly blurring. In 2020, Amazon Web Services (AWS) enabled AWS Lambda to package and deploy functions as container images, instead of bundling all of a function’s code and dependencies in a.zip file. Today, more organizations are increasingly deploying Lambda functions as Docker container images. These companies want to reap the benefits of serverless computing, containers, and container orchestration.

When we set out to trace applications running outside of AWS Lambda, there was little doubt in our minds that building on top OpenTelemetry was by far the best course of action. There are many reasons for this, but chiefly, it is a question of coverage. At its most fundamental level, achieving coverage requires as-wide-as-possible support for technologies, and interoperability among instrumentations.

Virtual Machines (VMs) are virtual computers with dedicated amounts of RAM, CPU power, and storage borrowed from a physical host computer. A Virtual Machine is a computer file, typically an image, that acts like a real computer. A Virtual Machine can have any operating system that runs in a window as a separate computing environment. Users can choose between the Linux distribution or Windows Server in the operating system.
