Snowflake is a leading cloud-native data warehouse. Integration patterns include batch data integration, Zero ETL, and near real-time data ingestion with Apache Kafka. This blog post explores the different approaches and discovers their trade-offs. Following industry recommendations, it is suggested to avoid anti-patterns like Reverse ETL and instead use data streaming to enhance the flexibility, […]
Automated testing of web applications often requires interaction with external APIs. However, relying on actual API responses can introduce variables beyond your control, such as network issues or server downtime. This is where API mocking comes in. Mocking allows you to simulate API responses, making your tests more reliable and faster. In this article, we’ll […]
I spoke at Swiss PgDay in Switzerland in late June. The talk was about how to create a no-code API with the famous PostgreSQL database, the related PostgREST, and Apache APISIX, of course. I already wrote about the idea in a previous post. However, I wanted to improve it, if only slightly. PostgREST offers a […]

Imagine millions of customers trying to book last-minute deals on a hotel or flight during one of the biggest sale events of the year, and while some customers can book, others see failures while making their bookings. This inconsistency results in frustrated customers and logistical nightmares. This typical scenario highlights a fundamental challenge in distributed […]
Managing database connection strings securely for any microservice is critical; often, we secure the username and password using the environment variables and never factor in masking or hiding the database hostname. In reader and writer database instances, there would be a mandate in some organizations not to disclose the hostname and pass that through an […]
