Feed: MariaDB Knowledge Base Article Feed. Author: . The MariaDB Foundation maintains a Downloads REST API. See the Downloads API documentation to find out all the tasks that you can accomplish with this API. Generally speaking, we can say that it provides information about MariaDB products and available versions. This allows to easily automate upgrades for MariaDB and related products. The Downloads API exposes HTTPS endpoints that return information in JSON format. HTTP and JSON are extremely common standards that can be easily used with any programming language. How to Use the API with a Unix Shell Linux shells are ... Read More

Feed: Planet PostgreSQL. Encrypting data at rest is often an important compliance task when working on securing your database system. While there are a lot of elements that go into securing a PostgreSQL database, encrypting data at rest helps to protect your data from various offline attacks including the stealing of a disk or tampering. Disk encryption is a popular feature among public database-as-a-service providers, including Crunchy Bridge, to protect data in a multi-tenant environment ... Read More

Feed: Microsoft Power BI Blog | Microsoft Power BI. Author: . We are very excited to announce the public preview of a new REST API to query datasets in Power BI by using Data Analysis Expressions (DAX). Among other things, this new DAX REST API helps to address customer feedback concerning programmatic access to the data in a dataset (for example, the idea Equally important and also consistent with XMLA read access, you need the Build permission for the dataset you want to query by using this new REST API. Contributors and workspace admins have this permission, but you can ... Read More

Feed: Microsoft Power BI Blog | Microsoft Power BI. Author: . Last year in December we announced new Scanner APIs for extracting tenant-level metadata using Power BI Admin REST APIs. Already we see many customers using the new Scanner APIs to query Power BI in order to build their own reporting and homegrown catalogs. We’ve designed the APIs to support scaling for big tenants, while at the same time allowing us to add more metadata to the API response as time goes by. The huge enhancement to the APIs we’re announcing today includes the items our customers have been asking ... Read More

Feed: Recent Announcements. Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra), a scalable, highly available, and fully managed Cassandra-compatible database service, now supports customer managed customer master keys (CMKs) for encryption of data at rest to help you meet your compliance and regulatory requirements. Amazon Keyspaces encrypts data at rest by default by using AWS owned CMKs. Now, you also have the option to use customer managed CMKs to encrypt Keyspaces table data to help meet compliance and regulatory requirements and adhere to your organization’s security policies. Keyspaces handles encryption and decryption of data transparently and continues to deliver consistent, single-digit-millisecond response times ... Read More

Feed: Recent Announcements. Synchronous Express Workflows can now be triggered with Amazon API Gateway’s REST APIs, allowing you to build interactive applications and orchestrate high-volume, short-duration microservices. AWS Step Functions allows you to build resilient serverless workflows by composing AWS services such as AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, Amazon DynamoDB, and more. Synchronous Express Workflows are ideal to build high-volume, short duration, synchronous workflows such as the orchestration of microservices behind Amazon API Gateway. Now you can trigger a Synchronous Express Workflow with Amazon API Gateway’s REST APIs and take advantage of request transformations, request/response validation, and custom domain names ...

Feed: Recent Announcements. You can now create Amazon API Gateway REST APIs to trigger a Synchronous Express Workflow from AWS Step Functions and respond with the output of that workflow. AWS Step Functions Synchronous Express Workflows allows you to build business logic that involves orchestrating a workflow of different microservices. By integrating your REST API with Synchronous Express Workflows, customers can build APIs for interactive applications powered by a sequence of microservices. In addition, customers can use API Gateway to transform the workflow response before sending it back to the caller. For example, customers can build APIs that capture responses ... Read More

Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: Mirko Ortensi; MySQL Server offers, among the different security features, encryption at rest (or Transparent Data Encryption, TDE) in the commercial release (find the differences with Community here). While testing TDE with MySQL InnoDB Cluster, I was wondering what inner mechanism was implemented to deal with TDE, master keys and keyrings, and the clone plugin. If I need to clone an instance, how would everything work so to guarantee my InnoDB Cluster instances will still be encrypted, and the keyring chosen would still use a good master key to decrypt tablespace keys and finally tablespace pages? ...

Feed: The Connector by Workato. Author: Anna Kelley; Your organization is in the API game, utilizing API connections to integrate and automate its services and processes. But are you maximizing the potential of those integrations? If you’re on the varsity squad, you might be used to the traditional SOAP (simple object access protocol) API playbook. It’s time to consider how REST APIs—which offer standardized, scalable, and high-performance integrations—can optimize your team’s performance.  There are instances in which a faster, more agile, and more lightweight group of players is who you need on the court to make the right play. These ... Read More

Feed: AWS Architecture Blog. While building REST APIs, architects often discover that they have particular operations that have to run in the background outside of the request processing scope. Some of these may be “fire and forget”—there is no need to report back to the client—for example, when initiating a shipment. For others, the client may need a response, but can’t get it in the original request because of the long processing time, like if they are generating a complex report. This requires pulling the relevant data together and rendering a PDF, which can be a time-consuming process, often better ... Read More
