Great to see your OpenAPI. I would love to interview y'all about your OpenAPI journey and showcase as part of the OpenAPI Initiative (OAI) blog and social storytelling. Ping me at kin.lane@postman.com and happy to coordinate.

Good to sea Jerome! Thanks. Will keep an eye on what you guys are building (as usual).

Thanks Lukas!

Hello. Thanks for the kind words. Happy to be back. I'm glad you are tuning into streams, events, and the evolving API landscape. I am definitely all in on OpenAPI + AsyncAPI to cover the full scope of APIs being delivered internally and externally. I'll keep an eye on the design guide -- referenced it several times before.

Re: API Interoperability is a Myth

Kin Lane — Tue, 09 Jul 2019 19:01:31 -0000

Thanks. I definitely don't want to dissuade from anyone from investing in--go for it. My belief is more focused on always being cautious of people evangelizing in the name universal interoperability. I regularly invest in interoperability (OpenAPI, APIs.json, API Commons), but I'm not selling universal interoperability.

Definitely advise you to disregard my advice as a base rule--never listen to me. Also, I'm bad at humor AND stunningly elitist.

Talk to the folks over at API Fortress - https://apifortress.com/ they are investing in these areas heavily, after that take a look at the Stoplight.io approach - https://stoplight.io/testing/

Re: A Summary Of Kong As An API Management Solution

Kin Lane — Fri, 23 Nov 2018 14:12:45 -0000

Hey Carlos. At their core they are both API management solutions. Apigee has just been at it longer, has more features, resources, and experience. Kong will get there, and is maturing as a solid enterprise grade solution, but Apigee has just been on their journey longer and are going to cover more bases for you.

Re: An Open Banking in the UK OpenAPI Template

Kin Lane — Fri, 23 Nov 2018 14:10:16 -0000

I haven't come across any OpenAPI 3.0 support in the UK. I did see STETS released a version 3.0 support in France - https://streamdata.io/blog/...

Re: Swagger Visualization Layer Using D3.js

Kin Lane — Fri, 26 Oct 2018 04:10:32 -0000

Unfortunately I haven't seen the movement in this area that I'd like....I should do another story series on it to try and drive activity. Eventually something has to give -- I finally got more diversity in the number of open source documentation offerings, so I'm hoping it is just a matter of time before someone invests in visualization layers.

Re: Please Refer The Engineer From Your API Team To This Story

Kin Lane — Tue, 18 Sep 2018 13:08:42 -0000

Its all good man. Love it when these situations reverse course, and turn into loyal reader. You'll learn if you stay subscribed I'm not as EGO-driven as this article appears. You'll learn I'm genuinely interested in helping API providers shift behavior, and find positive ground with their consumers. I hear ya on the long day -- I recommend venting on your blog. It is a great tool for releasing steam within your domain, where it will cause less harm than venting in other people or platform's domain. Glad my assholeness didn't just perpetuate your own. ;-) #onward.

Boy you got me. I'm gonna pack it in now man. Why the fuck would you feel compelled to leave a comment like that? Ain't you got anything better to do with your life? Get the fuck off my domain - https://apievangelist.com/ Yeah, certs are really fucking hard to do. I wonder what I'm installing on CloudFlare, and all my servers on a regular basis? Or maybe you are asking why I don't enforce encryption? That would be a different conversation and since you didn't ask, I ain't going into it.

Re: We Need Your Help Moving The AsyncAPI Specification Forward

Agreed. Do you feel Flickr's business model is sustainable for whoever the caretaker is? SmugMug seems like a good steward.

Thanks for sharing. Will review the rest of your research, and keep in tune, and hopefully make time to write about again. Keep up the good work.

Re: People Do Not Use Tags In Their OpenAPI Definitions

Kin Lane — Wed, 11 Jul 2018 18:58:29 -0000

Just any plain language words applied to the tag element of an OpenAPI -- look at Slacks OpenAPI - https://github.com/slackapi... and look at any "Tags": properties -- they don't capitalize, and use dotted notation, but still add more context than most I see.

Re: People Do Not Use Tags In Their OpenAPI Definitions

Kin Lane — Wed, 11 Jul 2018 18:56:25 -0000

I think you are right Ted. The coupling between Swagger 2.0 and the UI is still very real....and any strange interpretation by the UI would dissuade folks from doing in the definition. I had similar conversation with 42Crunch team today about their tagging structure which they opted to do as vendor extensions to avoid conflict. I'm not ready to submit anything for the issue for group yet, still thinking about big picture.
