Choosing the proper API protocol can be challenging but selecting the one that will fit your needs is essential. In this post, we’ll explore some of the most common protocols and help you decide which is right for you.

For most enterprises, microservices and agile methodologies tend to go together. So, when you adopt a microservice architecture, you’re embracing more than just a new paradigm for building services.

Software developers have been putting badges on their repositories for a long time. Since they’re easily recognizable and have high information density, badges make it simple for developers to signal (or understand) things like code quality, test status and coverage, version, framework, or adherence to various standards.

Testing microservices can be difficult. Often, we underestimate these difficulties when first working with microservices.

Engineering organizations often look for ways to improve their engineering teams’ efficiency. The more efficient the team, the faster they can ship new features and products to their customer base. From this need for efficiency, combined with developer empathy, we’ve seen the rise of DevOps and site reliability engineering across the industry.

Snyk is rapidly becoming the de facto standard for businesses that want to build security into their continuous software development processes. And with their developer-first tooling and best-in-class security intelligence, it’s no surprise.

Earlier this month OpsLevel added personalized, automated notifications to our Service Maturity offering. With these weekly emails, service owners don’t need to remember to review their services in OpsLevel; each Monday OpsLevel will send them a digest report that makes it simple to stay on top of service maturity and encourages a regular review cadence.

A service catalog is a valuable asset for any growing engineering organization delivering software at scale. But valuable assets aren’t created or earned easily. That’s why, at OpsLevel, we’re always thinking about ways to make building and maintaining an up-to-date service catalog simpler. Recently we upgraded our Discovered Services capabilities to do just that.

Over the last decade, shrinking feedback loops have been a core part of building and delivering software. Across every phase of development and delivery, software engineering organizations are getting faster answers to questions like:
