Alexandra Noonan, software engineer at Segment, recently topped Hacker News with a blog about Segment’s journey to microservices and back again. In this Q&A session with Kong CTO Marco Paladino, Alexandra discusses Segment’s adoption of microservices, its recent move back to a monolith and the unique insights they gained into the principles of software architecture along the way.

Want to take your API to the next level? Then you should give your API an OpenAPI spec. An OpenAPI spec is more than just documentation -- with it, you can leverage your API to generate client code, do automated testing, and more! In this talk, Wordnik founder, Erin Mckean, gives an overview of the universe of OpenAPI tooling and show how you can go from zero to OpenAPI spec in just a few straightforward steps!

Neha Narkhede, who co-created Apache Kafka, co-founded Confluent and is now its CTO, and Marco Palladino sit down for a far-ranging conversation about the history of Kafka. They also discuss trends driving the software industry, strategies for open core businesses, and the challenges of being a CTO. The conversation closes with both CTOs’ advice for engineers aspiring to found companies or become Chief Technology Officers.

The OpenAPI Specification (formerly known as the Swagger Specification) provides an elegant way to design and document your APIs. During and after design and documentation, mocking helps you create prototypes and achieve coverage for all your scenarios during testing and development. The problem is that mocking is hard to do and static. It involves a lot of work and makes it difficult to simulate different scenarios you want to test and develop against.

Learn about the central role that APIs play in innovation, and how Apigee Edge enables you to manage APIs to power that innovation.

If you have services, or you’re developing services, you'll want to expose them as consumable APIs, with the appropriate security and behavior and management. Apigee Edge offers many options to help you with that.

Once APIs are exposed and available, you want external developers to be able to find them, get access, and try them out.

Apigee Analytics provides an overall view of your API program and enables you to see overall traffic for all of the APIs in an organization, watch how developers engage with your APIs, and see which apps receive the most traffic.

In this webinar, we will look at different approaches to generating an OAS definition for your existing APIs.
