Hey guys, my name is Sai Narasimha, and I'm writing this blog on the syncloop api, which is a visual API development platform. Today, I will demonstrate how syncloop aids in cross-platform development.

What is API:

An Application Programming Interface (API) is a set of rules that allows different software applications to communicate with each other. It acts as a middle layer that processes data transfers between systems, enabling companies to share their application data and functionality with external third-party developers, business partners, and internal departments within their companies.

How syncloop helps in creating faster and user interface api:

1. Develop APIs on a large scale

• Enabling application programming interfaces (APIs) to be accessed and utilized by external websites and platforms, allowing for seamless integration and enhanced functionality across different digital environments.

• Develop and integrate business logic and functionality into the system. This involves creating and incorporating the necessary processes and operations to ensure the smooth and efficient functioning of the business.

1. Cloud Transformation for modern businesses

   Syncloop support the transition from on-premises to cloud computing. Maintain consistent service delivery during periods of unpredictable demand. Support the use of Microservices, Containerization, CI/CD, and DevOps. Improve the adoption of cloud technology for better service delivery.

1. API Integration

   Syncloop allow:

• Unlock the value from current and outdated data sources

• Connect to the top apps and tools

• Accomplish anything by reusing Internal/external APIs

• Enhance API development strategy and productivity while managing each API separately

1. Run Syncloop On docker

• Using docker, developers can run the Syncloop on a docker container.

  Run on Docker CLI:

  To run Syncloop use the following command

    docker run -d -p 8080:8080 nature9/syncloop
  

  Use nature9/syncloop-community for community version image

  Run Docker Compose

  You can deploy and manage multi-container applications defined in the ompose file. Create a file called docker-compose.yaml and add following content:

    version: '2.1'
        services:
          syncloop:
            image: nature9/syncloop
            environment:
              - LOGGING_FILE=/logs/server.log
            ports:
              - "8080:8080"
            volumes:
              - eka_vol:/eka
  
        volumes:
          eka_vol:
  

  Download file

  Environmental variables:

  LOGGING_FILE: Full path of server.log file for logging.

  Use the following command to run docker.

    docker compose up
  

  If you see the following message, it means that Syncloop is now successfully running on Docker. You can now open the URL in your browser.

  http://localhost:8080

  1. Minimal Coding

     Syncloop API Platform requires minimal coding. Most API development is done through a unique GUI-based developer experience.
