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…
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…
LLMs operate as highly capable, non-deterministic pattern matchers. But they come with two significant privacy challenges: If you pass raw user input, internal logs, or structured data directly into an LLM without safeguards, you’re risking the exposure of names, emails, credit cards, health info,…
As the need for speed in business can seemingly be at odds with the need for control, organizations developing APIs today face a critical challenge: how can you empower developers to build and deploy APIs quickly while maintaining enterprise-wide governance and security? More traditional API…
AWS offers its own out-of-the-box API gateways. For many AWS teams, AWS API Gateways are a natural place to start when beginning their API management and API gateway journeys. However, as API practices and programs begin to scale, many organizations begin to look beyond AWS due to major…
The rise of AI and LLMs in our world is revolutionizing the applications we’re building and the customer experiences we’re delivering. This is one of the pivotal moments in our industry where we cross over an intersection in our technology evolution to enter a new journey with a paradigm shift.…
The proper management of APIs is vital for organizations seeking to optimize their digital experiences and application performance. API management solutions facilitate the efficient administration of APIs by offering several features such as access control, rate limiting, developer portals,…
It’s no secret that artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the way companies operate with its ability to sift through mountains of data and make accurate predictions at record speed. But with great power comes great responsibility. As AI systems are more regularly incorporated into…
APIs have become fundamental to the digital economy, enabling integration and communication between different systems and services. A mature API platform is not just a technical achievement but a strategic asset that can drive innovation, efficiency, and growth. However, reaching this level of…
Enterprises are investing in data mesh initiatives to accelerate how decisions are made and to create novel experiences based on machine learning models. Similarly, enterprises are investing in API platform initiatives to productize business domains (or bounded contexts in domain-driven design…
You would think in the Internet age, primary sources for a widely discussed event — one that's helped define cloud computing and today's cascading digital transformation of enterprises — would be easy to track down. The original footprint must be somewhere. But that's not so in the case of the…
Microservices have an entirely new set of problems due to their distributed service-oriented architecture. As a result, microservice design patterns have surfaced. This post will consider the specific design patterns that can help us build reliable, secure and traceable microservices. Monitoring is…
If you've done any reading about service meshes, you've probably come across mentions of an open source project named Envoy. And if you've done any reading about Envoy, you've probably seen references to service meshes. How are these two technologies related? How are they different? Do they work…
