API Management Should Consider Third-Party APIs
Bill Doerrfeld | June 7, 2024
To date, API management has only covered internal APIs or productized APIs. There has been a real lack of focus in the market on how we manage the third-party APIs we consume. There are rising costs and security vulnerabilities from blindly ingesting external APIs and a lack of scalable tools to manage it all.
This is changing, however, as new platforms are being developed to manage third-party APIs, like gateways focusing on egress. I'm excited about this trend, as I see many benefits from considering the entire API journey, such as cost savings, better inventory management, and improved performance monitoring.
Anyway, check out the entire article on the Lunar.dev blog on why we should see the end-to-end picture.
The Kubernetes ecosystem has exploded with managed platforms tailored to multi-cloud, edge, on-prem, and regional deployments.
Some internal projects are too good to stay hidden. For DirectorPlus, Spotify's Pia Nilsson shares how to identify and externalize internal platforms — like they did with Backstage.
My latest feature for InfoWorld looks into the gaps surrounding AI-generated code and what leaders believe we need to improve the status quo.
New research shows LLMs outperform humans in software requirements engineering, reducing weeks of work to seconds while improving completeness by 10.2%.
Containers are designed to be isolated—that's great for security but tricky for networking. My feature with InfoWorld explores how eBPF is evolving container networking.
I recently synced with Camden Swita, Head of AI and ML Innovation at New Relic, to see how software engineers are implementing agentic AI in practice.
The 2nd annual code quality report from GitClear found 10x more duplicated code than two years ago and fewer signs of code reuse than ever before.
My feature on InfoWorld explores the state of Kubernetes usability, highlighting various advancements across workload types, support for edge and AI, and new features like observability and security.
It's up to leadership to help prioritize large-scale engineering updates that keep software running smoothly. Kent Wills, Director of Engineering at Yelp, provides insight on the latest DirectorPlus.
Italian for “tapestry,” Arazzo is aptly named since it can be used to weave together sequences of API calls to illustrate a specific business pattern.
