This is a talk about why you should be investing in the API for your internal platform and how you can get started with the existing user experiences in your org to drive the adoption of the new API.
Building a great internal platform starts with the API Abigail Bangser
Platform engineering has grown in popularity as a way to enable application teams to focus on their customers while consuming non-differentiating tech from an internal team. Successful platform teams operate as a product team. They collect requirements; identify offerings that provide innovative and easy to use solutions to their customers’ problems; and package their offerings in a discoverable and easy to use interface. A platform team is successful when they focus on the differentiating tasks (identifying internal challenges/innovative solutions) while leveraging community solutions for commodities like API design and delivery. Join Abby as she introduces Kratix: a new OSS solution built after years of working on in-house solutions with the goal of enabling great APIs in the open.

Application Programming Interface or APIs create a wholesome environment of information exchange between users and services. With the APIs bridging interfaces to back-end data streams, data requests are handled effortlessly.
Talk given at Equal Experts internal conference (gEEk) and talks about the patters associated with DevEx and the need for better platform engineering experience if we are expected to build great application engineer experiences.
In this session, Massimo will go through the Swagger specification and some open source tools built on top of Swagger. This includes Swagger editors and how they can be used to create our API stubs,
the Swashbuckle tool to auto-generate swagger.json, to keep it in sync with the server code and to make it discoverable. Finally he will demonstrate the Swagger integration in the API Management space (Azure API Management and Sentinet).

Crafting a Cloud Native API Platform to Accelerate Your Platform Maturity - B...Nordic APIs
A presentation given by Budhaditya Bhattacharya, Developer Advocate at Tyk, at our 2024 Austin API Summit, March 12-13.
Session Description: APIs and microservices are powering domain-driven design architectures and have become the fabric of modern cloud-native applications. However, focusing on technology isn't enough - there is a need for a synergy between people, processes, and tools.
Based on the CNCF platform maturity model, we will look to bridge the gap between an org's current and desired platform maturity level when creating cloud-native API platforms. We'll discuss:
1. The platform team model - team topologies and key roles for developing internal API platforms
2. Processes like platform discovery, jobs-to-be-done analysis, and continuous feedback loops to understand and meet developer needs
3. Applying a "platform as a product" mindset to measure and communicate platform success
4. Architecting for discoverability, security, observability and integration capabilities 5. The role of technologies like service meshes, API gateway, identity management, internal developer portals and OpenAPI specifications

"API Design: From User Need to Finished Spec" by Andrew Jordan, ex-Product @T...TheFamily
Heard of Twilio? It's the $2.4B cloud communications company behind 2016's hottest IPO.
You use it everyday without knowing it. The text message saying your Uber arrived? Twilio sent it. When you lose your Netflix password? They have you covered.
Considered as one of the most innovative & developer-friendly company out there today, if there's something they got right it's the product!
We were glad to have Andrew Jordan, ex-Product Manager and early employee at Twilio share his experience on stage! In this talk, Jordan explains API design and principles, covering how to identify a good opportunity for an API, how to write a well defined API spec and how to gather user feedback and iterate on APIs.
Before quitting his job to travel, spent the last five years designing, building, and selling APIs at Twilio. The last product he shipped was a speech recognition API for the company's voice product. Once he's done traveling, he plans to look into new ideas around speech processing and insurance.

10 Key Criteria for Mobile Platform SelectionJason Haygood
Is your company ready to meet the mobility challenge?
Anyone who’s faced the urgency of creating a mobile solution is all too aware of the limitations. They have most likely tried a few different approaches, ranging from developing on native SDKs to using frameworks to developing in-house using HTML5. And they have most likely come to the conclusion that true enterprise-grade technology is necessary.
Mobile application development platforms (MADP) are the solution, but figuring out which MADP to use can be time-consuming at best and confusing at worst. To help you make that decision, we’ve created a MADP vendor selection guide checklist, which outlines the top 10 things you need to consider when evaluating a mobile platform. These include:
- Support for multi-channel app development
- Developer productivity and designer creativity
- Middleware capabilities and B2E capabilities
- Platform maturity and developer ecosystem
Understanding and Executing on API Developer ExperienceKeshav Vasudevan
Developer experience (DX) is an extension of general User Experience, which emphasizes the developer, and their experiences working your API. A good API developer experience goes beyond technical writing. It is about providing all the right resources that help your end consumers successfully integrate and work with your API. A well designed developer experience has API documentation at the center of it.
API documentation is the information that is required to successfully consume and integrate with an API. This would be in the form of technical writing, code samples and examples for better understanding how to consume an API.
The OpenAPI Specification is the industry standard API design framework, allowing developers and teams to design, build, document and consume RESTful web services. The OpenAPI Specification is the de facto framework used when API practitioners want to optimize the developer experience.
This talk covers what it means to have an API with good DX by understanding the types of API consumers and their journey from discovery to API integration, and how OpenAPI Spec/Swagger Spec can help in improving general API DX with great documentation.

Providing as-a-Service Across Multi-Cluster KubernetesAbigail Bangser
Waypoint is a powerful abstraction that allows software developers to manage the deployment and operations of their software in both local and remote environments. The power of Waypoint is in the reduction of complexity for software developers, but this does come with more software for the platform engineering team to run.
As a platform engineer, you want to provide Waypoint, but likely also want to do so in a sustainable and self-service way. This is the challenge of creating an internal platform. You can use and purchase amazing tools like Waypoint, but you still need to integrate them into your environment and your workflows. This is where Kratix comes in.
This talk will look at how Kratix can help you enable Waypoint on all of your clusters and provide an interface for your software engineers to request Waypoint environments that you can customize and deliver on demand without any waiting.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

13. Code is NOT an API
The difference is in the
“Shared Responsibility Model”
15. ➔ Level of business customisation
➔ Ease of adding new capabilities
➔ Speed of access to resources
➔ An extensible API
Current tools drag us into false dilemmas
@a_bangser
17. ➔ Customised to the needs of the organisation
➔ Abstractions as high level business offerings
➔ An on demand, self service offering through different clients
➔ Widely used, consistent, and extensible tooling
Focus on the intentions, not the implementations
@a_bangser
18. Introduce a platform API as-a-Product
➔ Consumer (user) benefits:
◆ Catalog of offerings
◆ On demand offerings
(even if not instant)
◆ One or more interfaces
➔ Provider (creator) benefits:
◆ Separates implementation from
behaviour
◆ Can be evolutionary
◆ Manageable business logic

20. Start with the experience using
API Driven Development

21. Exposed variables
➔ Time To Live (TTL)
➔ Branch to deploy
➔ Update strategy
Test environment-as-a-Service
Platform defaults
➔ Size of database
➔ Region
➔ …

28. Kratix provides the ability
to create a simple API
With the building blocks
to handle complexities as
you grow
@a_bangser
29. ➔ Platforms should be treated like any other software
➔ Communication starts manual but can become automated
➔ APIs enable extensibility and evolution
➔ Toil can make it seem impossible to make improvements
Key takeaways

30. While an evolution
may be more practical,
by using the right (OSS) tools
you can achieve a revolution
