[DZone Research] API Management: Integration, APIs, and OSS Tools

#ICYMI: This article is part of the Key Research Findings from the DZone Guide to API Management: Comparative Views of Real-World Design.

Introduction

For this year’s API Management Guide Survey, we received 1,287 responses with a 55% completion rate. Based on these responses, we’ve compiled a quick article on why respondents use APIs, the integration approaches they use, and the prevalence of open-source tools.  https://goo.gl/3z3qjg

Mule 4: Creating Global Custom Functions in Dataweave 2.0

#ICYDK: In this article, I will explain how to create a global function that can be access or reuse by other Transform Message Component within a Mule Application.

First, We need to create a Dataweave File (.dwl) and save it in src/main/resources/modules/. Now,we can define our global custom functions here by using the fun directive and global variable by using var directive. Also note thatthis dwl file should not contain an output directory, body expression, or the separator (—) between header and body sections. https://goo.gl/T53nSQ #DataIntegration #ML

Proven Ways to Speed Data Integration

Data integration is a challenge that keeps getting more difficult. It’s no surprise considering the explosion of cloud-based tools, the proliferation of devices that consume and produce information, and the way information is shared between systems and from systems to humans. Plus, IDC predicts that the volume of data will reach around 40 Zettabytes (1 billion Terabytes equals 1 Zettabyte) by 2020 — and that 90 percent of it will be unstructured.

This rapid growth of data is making legacy data integration technology nearly unusable. https://goo.gl/otJdhH
