The modern business world is software-powered and API-driven. Any application, whether public or private, needs powerful and convenient APIs to be truly useful. Building and maintaining APIs is hard work, so it’s no wonder that whole classes of software have sprung up around API management.

Most API management products provide a common clutch of features: routing and proxying, transformation of data and URLs, dashboards and analytics, policies and restrictions, and developer tools like documentation generators. Here we’ll look at 10 popular API management tools—open source projects, commercial products, cloud services, and mixes of same—that offer everything from a full-service suite for APIs to focused tools for specific scenarios.

Want a good reason for the smashing success of the Python programming language? Look no further than the massive collection of libraries available for Python, both native and third-party libraries. With so many Python libraries out there, though, it’s no surprise that some don’t get all the attention they deserve. Plus, programmers who work exclusively in one domain don’t always know about the goodies available to them for other kinds of work.

Lift the hood on most any business application, and you’ll reveal some way to store and use structured data. Whether it’s a client-side app, an app with a web front-end, or an edge-device app, chances are it needs an embedded database of some kind.

SQLite is an embeddable open source database, written in C and queryable with conventional SQL, that is designed to cover those use cases and more. SQLite is designed to be fast, portable, and reliable, whether you’re storing only kilobytes of data or multi-gigabyte blobs.

Where you can use SQLite

One of SQLite’s greatest advantages is that it can run nearly anywhere. SQLite has been ported to a wide variety of platforms: Windows, MacOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and more. Windows users in particular can use precompiled binaries for regular Win32, UWP, WinRT, and .Net. Whatever the deployment target is for your app, odds are there’s an edition of SQLite available for it, or a way to port the C source code to that target.
