The Path to Microservices – how to put your organization on the right track for your needs

Kevin Matheny, Senior Director Analyst

Microservices architecture (MSA) is at the top of the hype cycle, but organizations that “do microservices” without a clear understanding of the problems it solves — and the problems it can create — risk creating new and unforeseen problems. The right architecture for your organization is a mix of fine-grained and coarse-grained services. This talk provides guidance on determining if MSA is right for your organization and  clear steps for how to put your organization on the path to the right level of service granularity for your needs and helps identify the data challenges that emerge and how to mitigate and overcome them.

Not Just for Public APIs: Why You Need API Management and How to Implement It

Kevin Matheny, Senior Director Analyst

APIs are essential to modern application integration and digital business strategies. But while almost every organization has APIs, far too few have API management capabilities in place. This talk explains why you need API management — even for purely internal APIs — and how to successfully implement the critical API management capabilities you need to govern and safeguard your APIs.
