Get insights from leaders changing business through API innovation.
Organizations are gradually realizing that API and AI observability aren't two separate problems; they're intertwined and require unified solutions. Without waiting on engineering, it's hard to answer simple questions like "Who's using my APIs?" or "Which APIs are causing the most issues?" Now…
The myth of the silver bullet The conventional wisdom that API security can be solved with a single tool or approach isn't just misguided — it's dangerous. This mindset has led many organizations down a path of false security, believing that deploying a WAF or implementing authentication provides…
Ever feel like you're fighting an uphill battle with your API strategy? You're building APIs faster than ever, but somehow everything feels harder. Wasn’t API-first supposed to make all this easier? Well, you're not alone. And now industry analysts are noting it as well. New Gartner research on…
The word on the street is that ambient mesh is the obvious evolution of service mesh technology — leaner, simpler, and less resource-intensive. But while ambient mesh is an exciting development, the reality is more nuanced. It is more than likely that a sidecar-based mesh is still a better fit for…
Kafka delivers massive value for real-time businesses — but that value comes at a cost. As usage grows, so does complexity: more clusters, more topics, more partitions, more ACLs, more custom tooling. But it doesn’t have to be that way. If your team is managing Kafka at scale, here are five…
Enterprise adoption of large language models (LLMs) is surging. According to Gartner , more than 80% of enterprises will have deployed generative AI (GenAI) applications or used GenAI APIs by 2026, up from just 5% in 2023. That stark increase paints a telling picture: LLMs have evolved from a…
Managing Kafka as an island on its own got you this far. But scaling it securely and efficiently across your organization? That's another matter entirely. Apache Kafka is the number-one event streaming platform used by developers and data engineers worldwide to build reliable, scalable real-time…
In today's fast-paced digital landscape, secure and scalable identity verification systems are the backbone of trust. That’s where SecureID , a European digital identity platform, identified an opportunity to provide secure, private, and compliant digital identification. The SecureID platform…
As businesses increasingly harness the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs), a new challenge emerges: managing the deluge of AI requests flooding systems. This exponential growth in AI traffic creates what could be considered a gratifying predicament—high demand…
The world of artificial intelligence is undergoing a seismic shift, with the emergence of agentic AI redefining the landscape of API development and management. As businesses and developers navigate the complexities of digital transformation, understanding the implications of this groundbreaking…
The adoption of LLMs is accelerating faster than most technological trends we’ve witnessed before. According to recent Gartner projections, by 2026, over 80% of enterprises will have used or experimented with LLMs , a dramatic increase from less than 5% in 2022. Their integration spans across…
I'm commonly asked by customers for advice on how they can build a good platform cross-charging model for their organization. And my gut reaction is nearly always "don't." We'll come back to why I think that later, but first let's look at what cross-charging means, why you might want it, and how it…
For the past several years, there have been murmurs of an incoming convergence between API management and event management. This has been more than a vendor-led phenomenon; industry analysts — such as Gartner and Forrester — see the worlds colliding as well, which is why Gartner mentions event…
Recent leaks have once again brought API and data security concerns into the spotlight. Specifically, the leaks pointed at the following as major areas to consider when thinking through your API and data security strategies: When considering the above, it’s critical to think about best practices…
AI is quickly transforming the way businesses operate, turning what was once futuristic into everyday reality. However, we're still in the early innings of AI, and there are still several key limitations with AI that organizations should remain aware of to ensure that AI is being leveraged in a…
