Largest drops in API performance
Auth0 in the Corporate Infrastructure collection dropped 9 places. This was due to a general rise in server processing time at the start of the month, which did then subside later on affecting all monitored endpoints.
Stripe in the GGV Capital API-First collection dropped 16 places. This was due to a massive increase in outliers from the 22nd of September onwards.
Tide Platform Ltd in the Open Banking UK Production collection dropped a whopping 28 places.
This was due to a massive jump in SSL handshake time starting on the 6th of September, peaking on the 10th and then slowly recovering until around the 20th of the month. Yikes!
Large Changes in API Performance CASC Score
Merge in the GGV Capital API-First collection decreased by 13% from 8.4 (in the Green Zone) to 7.26 (in the Yellow Zone). This was due to a general increase in outliers this week across all of their monitored endpoints.
Dept of Commerce in the US Government collection decreased by 61% from 4.79 (in the Red Zone) to 1.83 (in the Red Zone).
We might just have a new worst API – and look who it’s from, the US Government! With failures ranging from broken DNS resolution to HTTP 502 Bad Gateway responses, the US Government is sure to impress everyone with how well they manage their online infrastructure.
