How to accelerate your API platform maturity

1:40 - 2:10 PM ET ; Epic Hall Room

APIs and microservices are powering domain-driven design architectures and have become the fabric of ​modern cloud-native applications. However, focusing on technology isn't enough - there is a need for a ​synergy between people, processes, and tools.


Based on the CNCF platform maturity model, we will look to bridge the gap between an org's current and ​your desired platform maturity level when creating cloud-native API platforms.


We'll discuss:

1. The platform team model - team topologies and key roles for developing internal API platforms

2. Processes like platform discovery, jobs-to-be-done analysis, and continuous feedback loops to understand ​and meet developer needs

3. Applying a "platform as a product" mindset to measure and communicate platform success

4. Architecting for discoverability, security, observability and integration capabilities

5. The role of technologies like service meshes, API gateway, identity management, internal developer portals ​and OpenAPI specifications
