I caught up with CTO Itiel Shwartz about leveraging finely tuned models like Komodor’s KlaudiaAI agent for ultra-specific DevOps challenges, like Kubernetes error diagnosis and remediation challenges.

Rolling out AI is all about framing it in a positive light, says GitLab's CTO, Sabrina Farmer. I interviewed her for the latest edition of DirectorPlus for LeadDev, which is out today.

Surmounting risks are encouraging CIOs to future-proof and update their resilience strategies. My latest feature for CIO.com explores resilience head-on.

Today, DX debuted a new developer productivity framework, DX Core 4. Excited to break the news with LeadDev, interviewing one of the designers of the framework.

In this issue of DirectorPlus, Gus Fune shares the story behind reverse engineering a monolithic e-commerce platform following MACH principles, which stands for microservices, APIs, cloud-native, and headless.

Having good API documentation is one thing. Being specification-first is next level. Here are the benefits a specification-driven, git-based approach to documentation can bring to partner API integrations.

75% of APIs stray from their OpenAPI specifications. My feature explores why API drift is so common and how engineering leaders should mitigate this issue.

At the latest KubeCon, Kubernetes maturity, AI workloads, platform engineering, open-source funding, and WebAssembly were recurring themes.

My latest feature for InfoWorld explores where WebAssembly (Wasm) shines and where containers can't be beaten, featuring perspectives from a cast of industry experts.

My keynote from Platform Summit 2024 walks through API economy trends like AI, description languages, spec drift, unbundling, developer experience, governance, and more.

I had a great experience at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon NA in Chicago 2023 and look forward to the Salt Lake City edition. I'm excited about the co-located events, sitting in on certain talks, meandering the showcase area, and attending some post-show events.

I'm putting together a feature to discuss both the potential for widespread AI adoption and the practical steps necessary for overcoming current limitations. I hope to predict whether AI-generated code will truly be part of mainstream development in 2025.

For a feature for CIO.com, I’m exploring how CIOs are preparing to face these challenges head-on by addressing technical debt, strengthening risk management postures, modernizing legacy systems, and utilizing emerging technologies.

Another DirectorPlus edition is out! For this one, I synced with Rod Garcia, VP of Engineering at Slack, for a tasty look at continuous learning.

The rise of AI is influencing new edge deployment patterns. My latest feature for CIO.com dives into use cases for AI on the edge.

Like the rise of northern light sightings worldwide, Nordic APIs is something awe-inspiring from the north that’s starting to seep into regions globally. The knowledge shared at last week's Nordic APIs Platform Summit was incredible! Check out my wrap-up post on the Nordic APIs blog that reviews the key takeaways from the talks I was able to attend. In short, what stood out to me was the need to solidify the role of APIs as an enablement layer for AI. Speakers also emphasized security trends, new description languages, recent developments in developer experience, and evolving API governance and management practices. I kicked off the conference with a keynote that walked through API trends from the last year. I also moderated a couple of panel discussions, one on API authorization and another on developer experience — I like these because the conversation is a bit more free-flowing. I was continually impressed by the speakers and fascinating side conversations about APIs and other areas, too, like open source, quantum computing, and environmental awareness. I see this community leading a lot of positive discussions in the API space (and beyond). I was proud to take part in such a well-oiled event! Keep up the good work, everyone. I hope to welcome you all back next year. Until then, follow our work on the Nordic APIs blog .

How we support open source is the question of our time. My latest story on InfoWorld outlines the possible ways to fix maintainer inequities and fund this critical ecosystem.

My article on the Bump.sh blog dives into all things partner APIs. Check out common partner API business models, examples of affiliate developer programs and partner ecosystems, from AirBnB to eBay, Shutterstock, Walgreens, Kroger, and beyond.

Another DirectorPlus edition is out! For this one, I synced with Jack Tam, SVP and CTO at Intuit Mailchimp, about how to motivate engineers by bringing them closer to the end user.
