API Hubs. API Portal. API Platforms. What are some of the differences?

blobr, apiable, kong, and the list goes on... Let's understand the similarities and differences between some of the providers in the same space (of APIs).

How many developers does it take to build something?

That's a very generic question! So, let's take a hypothetical scenario and discuss that.

What’s more difficult? Building something, or selling something?

Is it more difficult to build something than sell the same thing? Or, is it vice-versa?

Do not reinvent the wheel. Create what is not readily available.

To prove your Unique Selling Proposition to your investors and/or end users, you should build what is not readily (already) available.

Rome was not built in a day. Nor will your next feature be.

Too often, I see developers look a little flustered when they embark on a journey to build something new. Some of the questions/comments that repeatedly pop up: "There's a lot to do". "Will I be able to do it?". "Is the deadline reasonable?"
Let's talk about this a bit, and see how we should approach this.

[Paid Course] Snowpal Education: Develop AWS Lambda Applications locally

If you are thinking about building Serverless Functions, there’s a high chance you are thinking about AWS Lambda. They’ve been around a long time.
They are fairly easy to build but the one thing I’ve seen developers do repeatedly is rely on a deployment to the Cloud before they test their changes. There’s more optimal ways. Let’s discuss one of them.

[Paid Course] Snowpal Education: Interfaces in Go (Golang)

According to Golang documentation, “An interface type is defined as a set of method signatures”. Fair enough, and that sounds like it is quite similar to how interfaces work in other languages. While there certainly are similarities, there are also nuances that you would be better served understanding before leveraging this construct.
In this course, we will take a simple example (a manufactured one, sure) to understand how interfaces work in Go, and do a bit of LIVE coding. The idea is that by the end of this course, you will have a good sense of how interfaces work, and when they may be a good fit for the problem you are trying to solve.
