Anti-patterns in Microservices (Don’t Do These)

Microservices are a popular approach to software architecture that aim to break up monolithic code into maintainable chunks. These discrete chunks allow for continuous delivery of a service while developing on top of what is in production. That flexibility is exciting in an agile environment, but rushing into deploying your code as a suite of microservices can put you at risk of incorporating anti-patterns that may cause significant problems down the line. In this blog, Adam discusses four common pitfalls as you start building your own microservices. 

Adapting Continuous API Management for Cloud Architecture

In his latest blog, Adam discusses best practices for Continuous API Management , including several significant ways that drives change when the API is operating on cloud architecture. API management, whether on the cloud or off, comes down to discovery, documentation, monitoring, alerting, and authentication/security. How well you implement best practices in these areas will make or break your service. In this article, we’ll summarize several considerations for adapting to the cloud.

Q2 TechTalk

Our API Academy quarterly TechTalk is April 28th at 9:00AM PDT/12:00PM EDT, and has Noname Security experts joining the API Academy team for what promises to be a most interesting discussion. Our team will be talking about API Security – not only from an API management perspective (i.e. locked down gateways, best practices, secured mobile apps) but also enterprise-wide API security tactics, as well as emerging threat vectors.
