This is Part 1 of a three-part blog series that will dive into industry insights from technology leaders who are facing the next wave of digital innovation head-on. Today, we meet again at the cusp of the next frontier. This time, it’s Web3, the metaverse and boundless connectivity. Businesses everywhere are bracing for what’s next while preparing for the onslaught of new-wave digital experiences.
This is part of a 3-part series on APIs, sustainability, and climate change. Check out part 1 on managing a greener API lifecycle, and part 2 on ways to embed and innovate on top of third-party APIs to make greener products. In this final part, we will look at the environmental impact of common architecture trends and recommend steps to take to minimize the impact of each.
Recently, I was fortunate to have an insightful conversation with Matt Klein, Lyft software engineer and creator of Envoy, the popular open-source edge and service proxy for cloud-native applications. Envoy was the third project to graduate from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), following Kubernetes and Prometheus. Before Lyft, Matt held positions at Microsoft, Amazon and Twitter, and served on the oversight committee and board of the CNCF.

TBC Bank is a technology-driven company in Georgia. We are happy to announce that we have chosen Kong to improve our API ecosystem and leverage its technological resources, expertise and international footprint to further simplify the daily lives of our users. TBC wanted to partner with a company that, in addition to providing the technology platform required to publish APIs in our bank, would also offer a strategy for developing and implementing API management principles.
This is the second part of our three-part blog series on APIs, sustainability and climate change. Missed the first part? Check it out here. In this blog, we examine ways to consume and embed APIs to make our own processes greener and show how APIs are the building blocks of a new wave of green innovation. The API economy – and therefore the ways we can use APIs to cut carbon emissions and make technology more sustainable – is not just about building APIs but consuming them too.
The proliferation of microservices has led to many new innovative approaches in the software world. However, building robust, quality APIs that consistently deliver the business outcomes you desire can be a complex task. It’s no wonder a recent survey of organizations adopting microservices found that nearly 30% of the respondents listed “API quality” as one of their biggest challenges. API-based applications don’t just come in one flavor.
The quest for resilience and agility has driven us into the modern age of microservices. Bringing services to market on a microservice architecture demands utilization of sprawling technology offerings and tooling. While daunting at first glance, we can break down the process into 3 major categories: In this hands on series, we will use.
