One of my side projects (the Telegram Photo Bot), have some performance issues that I will have to tackle.

If you are running integration tests embedding 3scale or are doing a lot of 3scale demos, you might sooner or later have plenty of services declared in the 3scale Admin console, which could reveal difficult to work with.

OpenShift 4 went all-in on Kubernetes operators: they are used for installation of the platform itself but also to install databases, middlewares, etc.

OpenShift, starting with the version 4, is installed with a temporary administrator account, kubeadmin.

In the article “Install OpenWRT on your Raspberry PI”, I explained how to install OpenWRT on a Raspberry PI and the first steps as an OpenWRT user.

OpenWRT is a Linux distribution for embedded systems.

APIs continue to spread, as seen in this 2019 report from ProgrammableWeb, which shows a 30% increase over last year’s growth rate.

In the previous article, APIs as a Product: Get the value out of your APIs, we presented a new approach called “APIs as a Product” to maximize the value of your APIs.

If like me you are using an RSS reader to stay informed, there is nothing more frustrating than reading a website that does not advertise an RSS feed.

My Ansible playbooks sometimes use features that are available only in a very recent versions of Ansible.

Recently, in one of my Ansible playbooks I had to prefix all items of a list with a chosen string.

Some customers, especially large banks, have very tight security requirements.

Miniflux is a minimalist, open source and opinionated RSS feed reader.

Invidious is an alternative frontend to YouTube that is slimmer, faster and at the same time offer more features than YouTube itself.

In this article on the Red Hat Developer blog, I explained how to deploy an API from a Jenkins Pipeline, using the 3scale toolbox.

In this article on the Red Hat Developer blog, I explained how to deploy an API from the CLI, using the 3scale toolbox.

On the 12th November 2019, I spoke at Société Générale for their TechWeek event on a session named “Accelerate and secure your API releases with Microcks”.

Microcks and Apicurio are nice Open Source projects that can even talk to each other to deliver greater value than the sum of their parts.

During the three Red Hat Tech Exchange sessions (Americas, EMEA and APAC), I presented two sessions: “Leverage the power of open source communities to manage your APIs” (full recording) “Complementing your Istio Service Mesh with 3scale and Fuse” (demo re…

On the 10th October 2019, I spoke at a Red Hat webinar on a session named “Simplify your API Strategy with Istio” where I showcased the integration between 3scale and Istio.

Recent versions of Apicast have a pluggable policy mechanism to apply different treatments to each exposed API.

In the previous article of this series, Deploy your API from a Jenkins Pipeline, we discovered how the 3scale toolbox can help you deploy your API from a Jenkins Pipeline on Red Hat OpenShift/Kubernetes.

In a previous article, 5 principles for deploying your API from a CI/CD pipeline, we discovered the main steps required to deploy your API from a CI/CD pipeline and this can prove to be a tremendous amount of work.
