#apacheapisix

When I introduce #ApacheAPISIX in my talks, I mention the massive number of existing plugins, and that each of them implements a specific feature. One of the key features of Apache APISIX is its flexibility. If a feature is missing, you can create your own #plugin, showcasing the platform’s adaptability to your specific needs. In this post, I aim to provide practical alternatives to writing a custom plugin, offering solutions you can quickly implement in your projects.

Lots of service providers offer a #freetier of their service. The idea is to let you kick their service’s tires freely. If you need to go above the free tier at any point, you’ll likely stay on the service and pay. In this day and age, most services are online and accessible via an #API. Today, we will implement a free tier with #ApacheAPISIX.

Last week, I described how to add a dynamic #watermark to your images on the JVM. Another alternative is to use ready-made components, namely #imgproxy and #ApacheAPISIX I already combined them to resize images on-the-fly.

Here's how to achieve it:

A Java geek · Dynamic watermarking with imgproxy and Apache APISIXLast week, I described how to add a dynamic watermark to your images on the JVM. I didn’t find any library, so I had to develop the feature, or, more precisely, an embryo of a feature, by myself. Depending on your tech stack, you must search for an existing library or roll up your sleeves. For example, Rust offers such an out-of-the-box library. Worse, this approach might be impossible to implement if you don’t have access to the source image. Another alternative is to use ready-mad

I continue to work on my #OpenTelemetry demo. Its main idea is to showcase traces across various technology stacks, including #asynchronous communication via an #MQTT queue. This week, I added a couple of components and changed the #architecture. Here are some noteworthy learnings; note that some of them might not be entirely connected to @opentelemetry

I recently read a post on "6 Ways To Pass Parameters to #Spring #REST API". Though the title is a bit misleading, as it’s unrelated to REST, it does an excellent job listing all ways to send parameters to a Spring application. I want to do the same for #ApacheAPISIX; it’s beneficial when you write a custom plugin.

Last week, I wrote an analysis of the #ITEF #Idempotency-Key specification. The specification aims to avoid duplicated requests. In short, the idea is for the client to send a unique key along with the request:

* If the server doesn’t know the key, it proceeds as usual and then stores the respons

* If the server knows the key, it short-circuits any further processing and immediately returns the stored response

This post shows how to implement it with #ApacheAPISIX.

Last week, we listed 16 practices to help secure one’s APIs and described how to implement 7 of them with #ApacheAPISIX.

This week, we will look at the remaining practices.

In my previous post Evolving your APIs, I mention the main #API #versioning approaches. During the talk of the same name, I sometimes get some questions on the subject. In this post, I’ll detail each of them, and how you can implement them with #ApacheAPISIX

In this post, I’ll detail each of them. I assume readers know the reasons behind versioning, semantic versioning, and product lifecycle. If not, I encourage you to read a bit about these themes; in particular, chapter 24 of the excellent API Design Patterns book focuses on them. I’ll summarize the subject in a few wo

The post will cover two alternatives to resize images: the traditional storage-heavy one and a on-the-fly one with #imgproxy
and #ApacheAPISIX

blog.frankel.ch/resize-images-

A Java geek · Resizing images on-the-flyAs a web architect, one of the many issues is asset management. And the most significant issue in assets is images. A naive approach would be to set an image and let the browser resize the image via CSS: img { height: 100%; width: 100%; object-fit: contain; } However, it means that you download the original image. It entails two problems: the size of the original image and the suboptimal browser-based resizing. This post will cover two alternatives: traditional and brand-new s

#etcd is an great key-value distributed database. It’s a great option, and that’s the reason why #ApacheAPISIX uses it too. Yet, it’s not devoid of issues.

You may prefer to use a #SQL database with APISIX. In this post, I show how you can use #MySQL instead.

It’s a great option, and that’s the reason why Apache APISIX uses it too. Yet, it’s not devoid of issues. First, some mention scalability, but one can expect this from a distributed data store that values consistency. Another issue may be the need for more familiarity with etcd. It’s relatively new, so your Ops team may need help operating it correctly while having
