API Management - DZone Trend Report
Developers globally are reclaiming their voice and authority in shaping the software and tools they use regularly. Pivoting from more rigid mindsets around integration management, APIs are taking a needed turn toward development-centric workflows, automations, and evolving use cases.
API and Security: From IT to Cyber
The primary inspiration for this article was my feeling that unfortunately, IT and Cyber too often work in silos — with security constraints often poorly addressed or insufficiently shared. It was also inspired by meetings with people working in Cyber, who may recognize each other. Indeed, on the IT side, API security is often perceived as a subject that is covered as long as authentication and rights are properly managed and an API Gateway is used. Of course, this is necessary.
Get Some Rest! A Full API Stack
Editor's Note: The following is an article written for and published in DZone's 2024 Trend Report, Modern API Management: Connecting Data-Driven Architectures Alongside AI, Automation, and Microservices. REST APIs have become the standard for communication between applications on the web. Based on simple yet powerful principles, REST APIs offer a standardized yet flexible approach to the design, development, and consumption of programming interfaces.
Numérique souverain : embrasser le modèle chinois sans sacrifier nos libertés individuelles
Souveraineté numérique : de quoi parle-t-on ? D’exercer un contrôle étatique ou national sur les infrastructures, les données et les services cloud utilisés sur le territoire d'un pays. L’objectif : garantir que les données sensibles des citoyens, des entreprises et des institutions du pays restent sous le contrôle direct ou indirect du gouvernement national, plutôt que d'être stockées et gérées par des acteurs étrangers.
API Governance, a Simple Complexity
API Management projects are straightforward. It's all about exchanging data from system A to system B. But that's without taking into account the fact that an API Management project involves a large number of players, which creates complexity.

Join the DZone community and get the full member experience. Join For Free Microservices and SOA: the uphill battle. In my previous article on the integration stack, we discussed all of the digital integration stacks. We had discussed the relationship between SOA and microservices, two types of architecture that are total opposites and at the same time very close. Thus, it is common to read literature about anything and everything about this infernal couple, such as: Microservices will kill SOA.

Enterprise AI - DZone Trend Report
DZone > Trend Reports > Enterprise AI Machine Learning, Design Paradigms, and Operational Impact In recent years, artificial intelligence has become less of a buzzword and more of an adopted process across the enterprise. With that, there is a growing need to increase operational efficiency as customer demands arise. AI platforms have become increasingly more sophisticated, and there has become the need to establish guidelines and ownership.
What TikTok Tells Us About Data Regulations and About the Future of Cloud
Many people are surprised by the brutality of Donald Trump, and are offended to see TikTok either banned or bought by Microsoft. The Chinese are shouting robbery, and we can understand them. If the United States of America did the same thing with a company from my country, I would certainly have the same reaction. However, looking at this subject from a purely legal point of view and in the light of recent events, one might be tempted to believe that these fears are justified.

Article Retrospective Integration – All You Can Find in Corporate It! - DZone Integration
Application integration is a relatively old subject now, which finds in API Management its latest fashionable offspring. However, in the past, we have not only done API Management.

From Zero to API in One Month!
There are still several companies today that are not put on APIs and are still wondering how to do it. There are many questions and they are quick to block an API initiative. That's why I'm advocating an MVP approach. This MVP approach may come as a surprise. We will easily ask ourselves questions about security, techniques, organization, API roadmap, the definition of good practices, and a framework that will seem essential.

API — It's All About Organization Part 2 - DZone Integration
Well, I would split the activities of an API Team into two kinds of activities: regalian activities and extended activities.
