Profound Logic Shows Off No-Code API for Salesforce

June 15, 2022 Alex Woodie

IBM i shops that are looking for a way to integrate their Db2 for i data with Salesforce applications may be interested in a new REST API unveiled by Profound Logic last month. What’s more, the vendor says the solution works without writing a single line of code.

Profound API, which the company launched just over a year ago, is a Node.js-based offering that runs directly in a Web browser. The product contains several editors and a runtime that enables users to define their APIs, test them, manage them as they’re pushed into production, and monitor performance over time. …

Back in the old days of the AS/400 and the iSeries, most customers had a single box or maybe two, one for production applications and databases and one for development of high availability. And everything that box needed was inside of itself.

And at most, you applied two kinds of PTFs – those for the operating system and those for the microcode – to the machine, and you did that maybe once or twice a year and every once in a while you might add some group PTFs to update security or other important features.

But the world has changed …

I’m working from the road this week, and we are experiencing record breaking heat in East Texas. We have had some minor issues – no Wi-Fi in the hotel, the A/C died in the rental car – but nothing we haven’t been able to solve – new hotel, exchanged rental car – and annoying as it was, I am quick to remember when traveling for an extended period was a lot harder when it wasn’t so easy to adapt and work from the road. This week, we have had several new entries into our Calendar, which means many of you …
