➰ APIContext's latest insights on cloud-based API performance have been featured on Nordic APIs! In the 2024 report, we delve into crucial aspects affecting API efficiency: 🔐 Authentication is key. Ensuring robust authentication mechanisms in APIs is crucial, yet offloading this function can introduce complex challenges. 📖 DNS configurations matter. How you handle DNS settings can significantly impact API performance, particularly when tied to authentication processes. 🌐 The role of third parties. Critical third-party services play a significant role in 🔗 API transactions, underscoring the need for careful integration and monitoring. ⛅ Not all clouds are created equal. Differences in cloud services can drastically affect API performance, an essential consideration as APIs account for over 80% of all internet traffic. #APIs #CloudComputing #TechInsights #APIContext

Novel technology like #eBPF is a game-changer for cloud stacks, making it easier to deploy and safe by design, from kernel-level functions to runtime application call stacks. Watch Guy Kaplan and Avi Lumelsky in their #BSides session as they explore how eBPF-driven runtime security is leveraged to break down applications into individual library components for scaled monitoring. Learn how this approach detects deviations in real time and provides kernel-level tracing across the entire host. 🍿 https://lnkd.in/d6Jvhe4N

Inspired by Viesturs Proškins to enable Anycast routing for Media over QUIC relays. I added these here: https://vivoh.earth ... So now we can test Latency-based DNS routing, Anycast, or my addition of hard-coded parent-cache to cache routing here: https://lnkd.in/ez8eszFr. Anything seems possible! What should I test next?

Quick note: The Third episode in our series on Value Networks drops tomorrow at 9am CT This one gets into the relationship between value networks and value stream management and also how value network maps can be used alongside value stream maps. If you've stuck with me on my meandering approach to this topic, this one should make it clearer about where I am going with all this.. (Hopefully). Subscribe to The Polaris Flow Dispatch if you'd like these in your inbox as soon as they are available. #valuestreammanagement #valuenetworks

Day 8 of my 45-day challenge to rebuild Fonoster (see the update ✨). Yesterday, I finished the first of five milestones of the rebuild. The planned milestones include: 🟩 M1: Identity, workspace, and membership API design ⬜ M2: Core APIs, Voice Applications, SDK, and CLI ⬜ M3: Autopilot with Dialogflow ES/CX ⬜ M4: WebUI development ⬜ M5: Refinement and documentation The new identity module will give Fonoster users more flexible authentication options (username/password, OAuth2 tokens, and API keys). Additionally, users will be able to invite collaborators to shared workspaces. These are really exciting features! Next, I'll focus on Core APIs, Voice Applications, the SDK, and the CLI. ~~~ ✍️ What new features would you like to see? ♻️ Reshare if this post is relevant to your network

💥⛓️ DIA Lasernet is Live on Testnet! We’re excited to announce the launch of Lasernet, the world’s first Layer-2 rollup purpose-built for oracle infrastructure. This groundbreaking development was made possible in collaboration with leading scaling projects: Conduit, Optimism Foundation, Celestia Labs, and Hyperlane. Why Lasernet? Lasernet enables developers to bring any data to any chain or rollup without trust assumptions, offering the ability to deploy custom oracles, permissionlessly. 🏗️ Built with: • Conduit: Rollup-as-a-Service partner simplifying deployment and operations. • Optimism Foundation: Powers robust scalability using the OP Stack with Ethereum-backed security. • Celestia Labs: Ensures scalable data availability and seamless on-chain storage. • Hyperlane: Delivers cross-chain messaging for oracle data across EVM and non-EVM blockchains. With Lasernet live on testnet, we’re one step closer to the future of decentralized oracle infrastructure. Mainnet launches early 2025. 🔗 Explore the full announcement: https://lnkd.in/dRTbVNmN

Twilio is Returning to its original SaaS Message. https://lnkd.in/eMZUZK7F Before 2021 Twilio could lay claim to the SaaS message, it did not get involved in those difficult #SMS #aggregation deals. However, after the 'investment' in Syniverse of $750M (2022) and the acquisition of Zipwhip for $850M (2021), Twilio solidly positioned itself in the SMS aggregation business, becoming less of a SaaS play. Part of the driver was the price increases in A2P SMS coming from the carriers. Today, Twilio has become an effective A2P SMS monopoly for North America. I should really write Twilio/Syniverse given their 'close cooperation'. We've seen earlier this year the SMS gateway deal it cut with international aggregator, e.g. tyntec, for routes into Mexico and Peru. Twilo is playing a different game internationally, but with a similar end result in dominating routes. https://lnkd.in/eiXcrw8Y Twilio's stock 'seems' to have settled at around $55 for the time being, see below. In the US we've seen Twilio making life difficult for #CSPs (Campaign Service Providers), particularly in toll-free #A2P SMS, since the start of the year. And migrating some CSPs off Zipwhip (because it is closing?) and onto Syniverse. CSPs are reporting the Syniverse platform is less performant than Zipwhip. The A2P SMS business has become much more tough in North America. TADSummit is the only place were you'll have a open and honest discussion on the challenges in #A2P #SMS, what is really happening. For example, will Syniverse close down the unsanctioned A2P SMS path for everyone in Dec 2024? Is Zipwhip really closed down for Toll Free A2P SMS, is Syniverse the only choice? Given the turmoil in 2024, what is going to happen in 2025! The A2P deals being cut across the industry are not open and fair, in the limit CSPs and brands must sue for their survival, the Federal Communications Commission must regulate, beyond the 'lightly notice' suggested by the Von Coalition. https://lnkd.in/e_nxzgVv https://lnkd.in/ew-4Xkdx - registration will be opening soon. - read more on what we have planned here: https://lnkd.in/duqNyHnP BTW, Tata Communications, Kaleyra, The Campaign Registry lost their frivolous lawsuit yesterday against Giovanni Tarone and I, search "Case 1:24-cv-02314-CM Document 44 Filed 06/24/24." Remember I stood up and fought for Bill Peters, the father of SMS in North America. I've been pointing out the reality of the challenges in our industry, while book clubs like the Mobile Ecosystem Forum told its members to ignore our work. What is happening at the moment will define the future of programmable telecoms / communications. Open and innovative, versus closed and in decline. TADSummit is essential to the future of our industry.
