In a world where loneliness is an epidemic, could artificial intelligence be the answer? Are ‘friends’ truly electric?

In 1979, Gary Numan asked this in his hit song ‘Are ‘Friends’ Electric?’, inspired by Philip K. Dick’s novel “Do Androids...

JSON Web Tokens (JWT) are the basis of many single-page applications and are actually quite simple. However, this simplicity also harbors dangers, as errors can creep in quickly: signature issues, ignored expiration date, insecure storage - a lot ...

Step into the future of API-driven ecosystems with Vertical AI Agents. This session reveals how AI is transforming the API landscape, moving beyond generic solutions to precision-driven Vertical Agents tailored to your industry. Explore how these ...

APIs drive innovation by enabling seamless integration across platforms, but effective API Management alone is insufficient for a robust ecosystem. Beyond traffic and security management, a comprehensive API design solution, governance processes, ...

The OWASP Top Ten as a list of the ten biggest security risks for web applications has been a de facto standard for over ten years. Somewhat out of the limelight, however, there are other lists. The OWASP API Security Top Ten highlights risks for ...

When tackling your complex software projects how do you choose to represent your data? Do you simply pass around arrays of JavaScript objects of the any type that you get from your API calls? Have you ever found yourself writing too much code and ...

As organizations increasingly rely on APIs, managing their security at scale has become a critical challenge for developers and operations teams. With the exponential growth of every organization’s APIs, ensuring robust and scalable security...

So you have a well-functioning Identity Provider, be it in the cloud or self-managed, and you're thinking: "All's well that ends well". Don't make that mistake. OAuth is a living specification. It is constantly revised because new attacks ...

As AI-powered APIs become the backbone of digital ecosystems, ensuring Responsible AI practices is no longer optional—it’s a necessity. From mitigating bias and enhancing transparency to securing data and complying with evolving regulations,...

Data spaces play a pivotal role in advancing digitalization and interoperability within and across different business domains, both nationally and across borders. However, it is not a new concept, as its roots date back to 2005. The definition has...

At first, testing in production may seem unusual, but it is justified by the limitations of pre-production environments, which often fail to capture the full complexity of real-world systems. Only production environments can truly reveal use...

Explore a mind-bending feature of functional programming, how you can easily get started with GPU programming, and learn about underappreciated SQL features that you didn't know you needed. Having facilitated code retreats for years, I’ve witnesse...

A look at current trends in platform engineering: creating platform teams, creating shared resources, supporting developer teams, creating and implementing standards, automatic CI/CD delivery pipelines, internal developer portals, data gover...

APIs have become the backbone of digital ecosystems, enabling seamless interactions across applications and platforms. But as their adoption grows, so do security threats. This talk

Platform Engineering is the new hype on the block. But we've been doing this for some 10 years, we just didn't call it Platform Engineering. We provided self service enabled platforms with guardrails for development teams to consume. Some did suc...

DevOps teams are often perceived as a necessary cost for critical operations. Increasingly, they’re being rebranded as DevEx, with expanded responsibilities but little clarity around goals or strategy. This leaves engineers feeling confused ...

Unlock the power of seamless innovation with an all-encompassing approach to API and AI governance. In this session, you’ll discover a game-changing framework that integrates strategy, tactics, and operations to fuel growth while staying sec...

The evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) provides a compelling narrative of innovation and cautionary lessons. Drawing on the themes explored in Rebels of Reason, a new book by John Willis, ...

Building on my KubeCon EU 2022 talk, "From Kubernetes to PaaS to... err, what's next", I'll introduce the topic of platform engineering through the lens of a software developer and architect. My primary goal is for developers to understand...

Can an application be a monolith and microservices at the same time? Spoiler alert: yes! In this session, we will explore a TypeScript codebase that defies traditional boundaries. Much like Schrödinger's famous thought experiment, the application ...

The rise of AI-powered development is fundamentally changing how teams build, manage and consume APIs. This session explores the two-way relationship between AI and API governance: how AI tools can strengthen governance through API design, d...

Nowadays, a rising number of systems incorporate AI agents for retrieving data or performing specific tasks. Let’s leverage this trend to rethink how we build APIs. By using a hands-on approach with a cloud-based AI agent in Azure we will sh...

From the pioneering trailblazers of mainframe computing and space exploration to the
rockstars who unleashed the internet and cloud revolution—and now to the emergent
Artificial Engineers redefining our digi...

In this hands-on workshop, you will get to know vulnerabilities and how they can be exploited to break into an application through an API. A closer look at OWASP’s API Security Top 10 will provide you with details about some possible attacks and t...

This workshop guides participants through a structured Lean Inception to define, design, and secure an
API product while integrating governance best practices. Using interactive exercises and the API Board
Game, attendees will engage in ha...
