Skype Integrates With Alexa
#ICYMI: It was recently announced that you will be able to make Skype calls using your Alexa device.
Microsoft, who owns Skype, will be stocking Alexa devices in their stores thanks to this integration. https://goo.gl/mttKZ9
GraphQL, Middleware, and Mule
#ICYDK: I’m not sold on GraphQL, and this post is not going to go into detail about GraphQl or anything. This is a just small post to show how middleware and GraphQL, specifically Mule, in this case, play quite well together.
GraphQL and it’s advocates tout how it can fetch multiple resources together and choreograph and combine data from Rest APIs, databases, SOAP services, etc. Sound familiar? It sounds like most middleware tools. But that’s not what GraphQL does. It gives you the API layer to be able to do that, but not actually the middleware part to orchestrate and connect all the systems. https://goo.gl/chnmmF
