Catch my interviews with key Platform Summit speakers
Bill Doerrfeld | September 4, 2024
Ahead of Nordic APIs' Platform Summit 2024, I've been syncing with some of our great speakers for a sneak peek at their upcoming sessions. We've covered a lot of ground in these interviews, like API design trends, the undercurrents of third-party consumption, making the community more inclusive, and more.
Here are links to all of the interviews published on the Nordic APIs blog:
- Championing Diversity in the API Community - Claire Barrett, APIsFirst, Director and Founder
- API Design in the Post-OpenAPI Era - Daniel Kocot, Head of API Consulting, codecentric AG
- The Undercurrents of Third-Party API Consumption Management - Eyal Solomon, Lunar.dev, CEO
- Context Should Direct API Architecture Choices - Rob Allen, Nineteen Feet Limited, software consultant
- Why API Security Needs a Proactive Approach - Antoine Carossio, Escape, co-founder and CTO
The
Platform Summit 2024 agenda is looking nearly complete, and the team has been doing a killer job in the last mile of this event prep. I hope to see as many of you as possible at the show, October 7-9 in Stockholm!
MCP shines for indeterministic workflows, novel integrations, and giving AI coding agents context on the fly. But for more predictable automation it may be overengineeering.
For my latest DirectorPlus column with LeadDev, I synced with JB Brown, VP of engineering at Smartsheet, to learn about their multi-agent AI development strategy.
Alternative clouds are having a moment. Nearly 75% of orgs are using two or more alt clouds beyond the hyperscalers, according to a HostingAdvice.com report.
The cloud is no longer borderless. Rising regional data laws and sovereign cloud mandates are forcing CIOs to act.
In a multi-agent coding workflow, an engineer leads a "team" of specialist AI agents to perform various SDLC tasks: scaffolding, coding, testing, log analysis, deployment, and more.
Open-source software churn is accelerating. With more frequent version end-of-lives and even total project abandonments, it's harder than ever to keep up.
I covered a report from HostingAdvice.com, which found that the majority of programming language migrations are driven by hype, instead of proven outcomes.
Facing an existential crisis, Stack Overflow has had to pivot quickly. I synced with a director to discover what team strategies are helping them adapt.
System Initiative aims to replace the toil of maintaining config files with a data-based digital twin and visual modeling engine. An engine for DevOps, if you will.
My latest feature on CIO.com explores why CIOs view APIs as a critical linchpin to realize success with agentic AI. Learn what it'll all take.
