During this talk, Fran will explain how the platform team at New Relic creates event-driven APIs using the design-first approach and the AsyncAPI specification.
AsyncAPI is a specification that defines a common language for describing asynchronous APIs. It allows APIs that use messaging systems like IoT, event-driven microservices, and other message-based systems to be documented. The AsyncAPI specification has four main parts - API information, servers, topics, and components - which are used to describe an API using a YAML or JSON file. This file can then be used to generate documentation, client/server code, and power other tools throughout the API development lifecycle. The specification is open source and hosted on GitHub where tooling and examples can be found to help get started using AsyncAPI.
This document provides an overview and agenda for a MuleSoft Meetup event in São Paulo on managing APIs with MuleSoft. The meetup will include introductions, a sponsor presentation from Cognizant, a discussion of API gateway concepts, a demo, and questions. It will provide a safe space for attendees to learn and share integration experiences. The goal is to discuss topics key to successful application integration on MuleSoft's Anypoint Platform. Networking time will conclude the event.
Combining logs, metrics, and traces for unified observabilityElasticsearch
The document discusses Elastic's approach to unified observability which combines logs, metrics, and traces into a single platform to break down silos. Key points include:
- Traditional monitoring tools are siloed and don't work well for modern cloud-native applications.
- Elastic offers a unified approach that brings together APM, uptime, metrics, and logs data on a single platform powered by the Elastic stack.
- This provides benefits like unified anomaly detection, alerting, visualization, schema, and pricing to give developers and operations teams a single tool for observability.
The document provides an agenda for the London MuleSoft Meetup. It includes introductions, a presentation on CloudHub 2.0, a break, a presentation on Anypoint Code Builder, and a trivia and networking session. The CloudHub 2.0 presentation will cover the architecture and migration considerations from CloudHub 1.0. The Anypoint Code Builder presentation will provide an overview and demo of the tool.

DevOps and APIs: Great Alone, Better Together MuleSoft
DevOps has emerged as a critical enabler of agility in enterprise IT; a DevOps model increases reliability and minimizes disruption, with the added benefit of increasing speed. But that isn’t enough. DevOps must be balanced with a focus on asset consumption and reuse to make sure the organization is extracting maximum value out of all the newly built assets. And that’s where an API strategy comes in. In this session, we'll discuss how organizations use DevOps and API-led connectivity to reduce time to market 3-4x.
API Management within a Microservice ArchitectureWSO2
This slide deck will discuss API management's role in a microservices ecosystem. It will discuss the purpose of edge gateways and proxies and how that complements a well defined API management layer.
Benefits of Stream Processing and Apache Kafka Use Casesconfluent
Watch this talk here: https://www.confluent.io/online-talks/benefits-of-stream-processing-and-apache-kafka-use-cases-on-demand
This talk explains how companies are using event-driven architecture to transform their business and how Apache Kafka serves as the foundation for streaming data applications.
Learn how major players in the market are using Kafka in a wide range of use cases such as microservices, IoT and edge computing, core banking and fraud detection, cyber data collection and dissemination, ESB replacement, data pipelining, ecommerce, mainframe offloading and more.
Also discussed in this talk are the differences between Apache Kafka and Confluent Platform.
This session is part 1 of 4 in our Fundamentals for Apache Kafka series.
The document describes Accenture's API Maturity Model, which provides a framework to help organizations develop and manage their APIs from an initial "ad hoc" stage to a fully "industrialized" stage. The model outlines five stages of maturity - ad hoc, organize, tactical, mission critical, and industrial. For each stage, it describes key characteristics and capabilities an organization should develop in areas like strategy, architecture, development process, community management, and optimization. The goal of the model is to help organizations assess their current API maturity and identify steps to progress along the maturity curve to better enable and manage their APIs and digital ecosystems.
Automated Apache Kafka Mocking and Testing with AsyncAPI | Hugo Guerrero, Red...HostedbyConfluent
Apache Kafka is getting used as an event backbone in new organizations every day. We would love to send every byte of data through the event bus. Like traditional REST APIs, a contract-first approach is very useful when designing event-driven architectures. In the case of asynchronous APIs, we have the AsyncAPI specification to document the endpoints where the schema of the records become the main part of the contract payload. Microcks allows us to deploy a testing and mocking platform to have a unified view of the endpoints to speed-up application delivery.
In this session we will:
- Go over the evolution of API specifications
- Review the approach for contract-first design with Apache Kafka
- Introduce the AsyncAPI specification
- Take an overview of an implementation example for automated mocking and testing

It begins with an introduction to service mesh and what problems it addresses in microservices architectures. Istio is presented as an open source service mesh that provides traffic management, observability, and policy enforcement for microservices. Kiali is specifically discussed as a tool for visualizing the topology and traffic flow of services in an Istio mesh. The rest of the document provides an agenda and then a live demo of Kiali's features using the Bookinfo sample application on Istio.
Building an AppSec Pipeline: Keeping your program, and your life, saneweaveraaaron
Are you currently running at AppSec program? AppSec programs fall into a odd middle ground; highly technical interactions with the dev and ops teams yet a practical business focus is required as you go up the org chart. How can you keep your far too small team efficient while making sure you meet the needs of the business all while making sure you’re catching vulnerabilities as early and often as possible?
The AppSec team and the business created an AppSec Pipeline to handle the work flow. The pipeline starts with “Bag of Holding”, an open source web application which helps automate and streamline the activities of your AppSec team. At the end of the pipeline is ThreadFix to manage all the findings from all the sources. Finally we incorporated a chatbot to tie all the information into one place.
Introducing the Apache Flink Kubernetes OperatorFlink Forward
Flink Forward San Francisco 2022.
The Apache Flink Kubernetes Operator provides a consistent approach to manage Flink applications automatically, without any human interaction, by extending the Kubernetes API. Given the increasing adoption of Kubernetes based Flink deployments the community has been working on a Kubernetes native solution as part of Flink that can benefit from the rich experience of community members and ultimately make Flink easier to adopt. In this talk we give a technical introduction to the Flink Kubernetes Operator and demonstrate the core features and use-cases through in-depth examples."

Apache Kafka is the de facto standard for data streaming to process data in motion. With its significant adoption growth across all industries, I get a very valid question every week: When NOT to use Apache Kafka? What limitations does the event streaming platform have? When does Kafka simply not provide the needed capabilities? How to qualify Kafka out as it is not the right tool for the job?
This session explores the DOs and DONTs. Separate sections explain when to use Kafka, when NOT to use Kafka, and when to MAYBE use Kafka.
No matter if you think about open source Apache Kafka, a cloud service like Confluent Cloud, or another technology using the Kafka protocol like Redpanda or Pulsar, check out this slide deck.
A detailed article about this topic:

If you are looking to gain all the benefits of Splunk software with all the benefits of a cloud-service, this is a must-attend session. In this session learn why Splunk Cloud is the industry-leading SaaS platform for operational intelligence and hear how Splunk Cloud customers use Splunk software with zero operational overhead. You will also learn how Splunk Cloud offers the full feature set of Splunk Enterprise, access to 500+ apps and single pane-of-glass visibility across Splunk Cloud and Splunk Enterprise deployments.
An edge gateway is an essential piece of infrastructure for large scale cloud based services. This presentation details the purpose, benefits and use cases for an edge gateway to provide security, traffic management and cloud cross region resiliency. How a gateway can be used to enhance continuous deployment, and help testing of new service versions and get service insights and more are discussed. Philosophical and architectural approaches to what belongs in a gateway vs what should be in services will be discussed. Real examples of how gateway services, built on top of Netflix's Open source project, Zuul, are used in front of nearly all of Netflix's consumer facing traffic will show how gateway infrastructure is used in real highly available, massive scale services.
#APIOps- Agile API Development powered by API Connectpramodvallanur
API development needs to be agile to quickly adapt to changing business needs. API Connect supports agile API development through tools that simplify each stage of the API lifecycle from development to production. It provides developer tools, enables continuous integration and deployment, automates testing across environments, and ensures governance as APIs are promoted. This allows teams to focus on API development while removing distractions and friction through automation.
API Gateway How-To: The Many Ways to Apply the Gateway PatternVMware Tanzu
The document discusses different patterns for using an API gateway, including:
1) API management for existing APIs to handle cross-cutting concerns in one place
2) Ingress for APIs and services to manage traffic entering a cluster
3) Application modernization to help split a monolith into microservices gradually
4) Simplified aggregated API to simplify access to multiple complex internal services
5) Using a service mesh for internal east-west traffic between services while using a gateway for north-south external traffic
The document provides examples and use cases for each pattern and concludes that the right approach depends on specific needs, and that gateways and service meshes can overlap on common concerns like security and observability.

This is a retrospective of my 30 year career in Software Engineering. Most of the tools I worked on have to do with Java, Eclipse, Python, visualization, profiling, and people.
API.AI is a natural language understanding platform that makes it easy for developers (and non-developers) to design and integrate intelligent and sophisticated conversational user interfaces into mobile apps, web applications, devices, and bots.
The document discusses several paradigm shifts related to open source software and the internet:
1) The shift from proprietary hardware/software models to open commodity hardware and software decoupled from specific hardware, exemplified by Linux, Apache, and MySQL.
2) A further shift to internet platforms and customization, where value comes from services rather than standalone software/hardware.
3) The rise of collaboration and communities improving software through open participation and sharing of information.
This document summarizes Mitch Pirtle's talk at the International PHP Conference in Berlin 2014 about cloud deployment tools and scenarios. The talk provided an overview of different cloud approaches like self-hosted machines, virtual machines, and virtualized services. It then discussed various tools for dependencies, builds, front-end work, continuous integration, and deployment to the cloud, including Composer, Phing, Grunt, Bower, Travis, Jenkins, Ubuntu Juju, OpenShift, and PHP Cloud. The talk concluded with looking at the current state of PHP deployment in the cloud.

⚛️ Building a cyber threat intelligence knowledge management system using Grakn
Knowledge of cyber threats is a key focus in many areas of cybersecurity. Adapting intrusion detection systems, building relevant red team scenarios, guiding incident response activities, providing a more effective risk assessment through better knowledge of threat agents: all of these require a deep understanding of the issues related to the relevant cyber threats and its associated human and technical elements. During this talk, we will describe how we are using the hyper-relational data model, the logical inferences and the core features of Grakn to build an application (openCTI) allowing organizations to manage their cyber threat intelligence knowledge and technical observables. We will go through the data model, the implementation of nested relations and give you an overview on how you can create powerful applications using Grakn.

Slides from my DevOpsExpo London talk "From oops to NoOps".
They tell you in these conferences that DevOps is not about tools, but about culture. And they are partially right. I am going to tell you that it’s not only about culture or tools but also abstractions.
It is a lot about how you see software and its value. About our mental model of what software is: how it runs, evolves, and interacts with the other facets of an enterprise.
We used to view software as code. As a state of code. Now we think about software as change, as a flow. A dynamic system where people, machines, and processes interact continuously.
At Platform.sh we spend a bunch of time asking ourselves not “How do you build?” - or even “How do you build consistently?” - but rather “What does it mean to consistently build in a world where change is good?” A world that lets you push security fixes into production as soon as they’re available because you don’t want to be an Equifax but you do want stability.
In this presentation, I will go over what we think software is and why having the right ideas about software will help you get your culture right and your tooling aligned, as well as gain in productivity, and general happiness and well-being.

The internet of things in now , see how golang is a part of this evolutionYoni Davidson
This document discusses how Golang can help with Internet of Things (IoT) development. It summarizes that IoT development requires skills in many areas, from embedded programming to backend development, which makes it challenging. Golang can help unify development by allowing code to run natively on devices and be used for both device and backend code, simplifying context switching. It also discusses examples of using Golang with IoT, including a code sample accessing a webcam from a Raspberry Pi. Recommended Golang packages for IoT are also listed.
A significant proportion of developments in the Internet of Things (IoT) is driven by non-technical innovators and ambitious hobbyists. Node-RED targets this audience and offers a widely used rapid prototyping platform for IoT data plumbing on the basis of JavaScript. Data platforms for the IoT provide storage facilities and value in the form of visualisation & analytics to business and end users alike.

Inclusive, Accessible Tech: Bias-Free Language in Code and Configurations - A...Nordic APIs
A presentation given by Adrienne Moherek, Developer Experience Technical Leader, Cisco, at our 2024 Austin API Summit, March 12-13.
Session Description: Heard of suss? You can suss out more information or you can find someone’s information to be suss. “Suss” shows the flexibility of language. It’s an ongoing process to change how we use certain words. It’s important to choose words carefully to convey the correct meaning and avoid harmful subtext or exclusion. Let’s explore some of the tools and triage methods that it takes from an engineering viewpoint to make bias-free choices. How can you ensure that biased words do not sneak into code, UI, docs, configurations, or our everyday language? First, let’s walk through how to take an inventory of assets from code to config files to API specifications to standards. Next, by placing those findings into categories, prioritize the work to substitute with inclusive alternatives. Let’s examine some examples using both API and code assets. Next is a demonstration of how to automate analyzing your source code or documentation with a linter, looking for patterns based on rules that are fed into the tool. What’s in the future for these efforts? Inclusive language should expand beyond English and North America efforts. To do so, let’s organize the work with automation tooling, as engineers do.
