Another Monday morning. Sprint stand-up. Your next task is … drumroll… building an app integration. RIP. Excited to spend the next month getting your hands on developer API keys, fiddling with Oauth, testing SOAP requests, and debugging a poorly documented API? We didn’t think so either.

Now, what if there were an easier way?

Meet Merge: a Unified API for B2B apps. Instead of building lots of integrations to widely varying APIs, you can integrate with a single API and support any integration your customers want. Think of Merge as a universal translator, a Roseta Stone for APIs. Merge returns normalized data across 100s of integrations, all synced continuously, and available in REST API. No SOAP or web scraping required.

Engineering teams at Ramp, TripActions, and Drata use Merge to build dozens of integrations in weeks, speed up time to market, and make their customers happy.

If you’re working on integrations with accounting, CRM, HR, project management, recruiting, ticketing apps, and more, check out Merge today at www.merge.dev/sedaily.

Microservices have transformed software. If your organization hasn’t transitioned into using them , there’s a good chance it will in the future. There are a lot of complex aspects to consider as part of that: portability, automation, security, and observability to name a few. 

To get ready, start by signing up for Microservices March – a free event hosted by our friends at NGINX. The program is a 4-week series of demos and labs that teach the fundamentals of microservices and how to deliver them successfully.  

This event is great because the training is all self-paced and flexible: You can choose the bits and pieces you want to spend time on, and do it on your own schedule.

This segment of Software Engineering Daily is brought to you by Privacy Dynamics, the simple solution for anonymizing data intelligently.

Development and testing environments are the number one source of costly data breaches. Privacy Dynamics creates a de-identified copy of your production data in minutes, allowing developers to maintain their velocity and improve testing without taking on unnecessary compliance and security risks.

Using a proprietary approach based on the latest research, Privacy Dynamics automatically detects and eliminates PII while maintaining the schema, format, scale, and analytical utility of the source data. With a simple integration into any data store, Privacy Dynamics anonymizes data in Postgres, MySQL, Snowflake, Big Query, S3 and more.

Are you letting sensitive PII land in development and testing environments? Eliminate the #1 threat of a data breach and start using de-identified data in your development and testing environments by signing up for a free account today at http://privacydynamics.io/sedaily.
