Discover the undercurrents of API consuption management with Eyal S. . Rob Allen also shared how to make challenging API architecture decisions.
Also, ??????Daniel Kocot shares what the future holds in the post-OpenAPI era. In short, frameworks and tools are abstracting complexity, making API design more straightforward. Attend Platform Summit for these great these and more!
Paul Dumas is back on the blog to propose an API management framework, AIR, which considers business and strategic motivations. Lastly, we look into LLM testing methods, how AI could assist API testing, and j simpson asks: will WebAssembly replace your APIs and microservices?
Thanks for reading,
