4 Steps to Finding & Implementing the Right Modern Enterprise Search Solution

As the amount of an organization’s structured and unstructured digital information grows, productivity can be directly tied to workers’ ability to find the right information in a timely and effortless manner. And that data is growing at a tremendous rate. 26% of organizations saw their content management budget grow over 10% in the past year. Organizations need effective enterprise search solutions because when workers can’t find information they need, their productivity is curtailed by having to ask peers and content creators for the resources directly.

Having an enterprise search solution that searches across cloud applications and returns relevant results keeps knowledge workers productive. Organizations with modern enterprise search solutions are 50% more likely to enjoy double digit revenue growth than those that don’t. This ebook provides 4 easy steps to help when considering to invest in an enterprise search solution.

Secrets of a Great API

Not all APIs are created equal

A great API encourages developers to use it and share it with others, creating a virtuous cycle where each additional successful implementation leads to greater engagement and more contributions from developers who add value to your service.

Unfortunately, too many API providers build their APIs before thinking through the critical success factors, resulting in APIs that fail to meet business objectives. Delivering a great API isn’t hard if you follow a few proven principles.

In this paper you’ll learn:

What developers really want from your API
How to make your API stand out from the crowd
Strategies for driving broad developer adoption
A fool-proof way to design for great user experience

Best Practices for Microservices

Today's business environment is extraordinarily competitive. No company, no matter its size or what industry it is in is safe from disruption. To mitigate this risk, it's important to consider implementing microservices best practices in order to change quickly, innovate easily, and meet competition wherever it arises.

Organizations that have successfully laid a foundation for continuous innovation and agility have adopted microservices architectures to respond rapidly to the never-ending demands of the business.

In this whitepaper, we will address:

Why microservices are such an important software trend
Design principles for a microservices architecture
How Anypoint Platform can help you implement microservices best practices in your organization

Principles of Microservices Security

Organizations adopt microservices architectures to develop a foundation for continuous innovation and agility as well as to respond rapidly to business demands. However, the financial incentive associated with this agility is often tempered with the fear of exposing valuable information that the microservices possess. How can organizations best manage this digital risk?

Providing Continuous, Pauseless Operation for Java Applications

Business critical apps based on the Java platform are now facing challenges that were inconceivable a few years ago. They demand large amounts of data and memory at runtime to support high user and transaction loads.

That’s why Java applications can quickly reach scalability barriers. Learn how developers are improving garbage collection processes with technology that provides:

Predictable, consistent application response times
Greatly simplified deployments with fewer, large instances
Smooth scaling to memory heap sizes over 2TB without pauses
Reduced garbage collection tuning and JVM tuning

Creating More Consistent Performance for Java and Apache Cassandra

Because Apache Cassandra - a NoSQL distributed database designed for reliability and high scalability - is written in Java, it’s subject to limitations and performance issues associated with traditional Java Virtual Machines (JVMs).

Due to response time outliers, frequent Java garbage collections, and out of memory errors, deploying Java-based apps and databases like Cassandra can be expensive, time-consuming, and require frequent re-tuning.

Learn how to resolve these issues and improve Java performance, even for workloads that require large memory, high transaction rates, low latency, and consistent response times.

How to Build (and Scale) with Microservices

How to migrate, implement, and optimize with microservices, and why your business needs it.

Microservices are a type of software architecture where large applications are made up of small, self-contained units working together through APIs that are not dependent on a specific language. Each service has a limited scope, concentrates on a particular task and is highly independent. This setup allows IT managers and developers to build systems in a modular way.

Read this eBook to gain a deep dive on the essentials of microservices, including the characteristics of the technology and its meaning as a business initiative.
