Getting squeezed by Google Maps and Apple Maps, a consortium of relegated players sees openness as a key differentiator with the creation of the Overture Maps Foundation.

Great to see Linux Foundation taking on data, not just code, but big questions about how ‘free as in speech and beer’ this will be.

Scaling is the new API challenge for banking-as-a-service.

“‘Embedded finance’ will lead to more hypermedia style APIs.” —John Phenix, Lead API, Integration and BaaS Architect at HSBC

Embedding a bank’s UI into a partner app does not feel seamlessly integrated.

Getting partner to write complex UIs negates the ease of working with a banking partner.

A partner rendering its own UI based on the bank’s logic is the winning solution for best end UX and low integration effort.

The data and API governance practices described at L'Oréal seem more mature than anything I saw at Spotify and Stripe. I took a photo of nearly every slide they presented. So much great stuff.

For the 10 year anniversary of #ApidaysParis, the conference organizers asked speakers to do a 2022 update to their first talk given at the conference.

Ori Pekelman updated his talk on the problems of REST-ifying SOAP APIs to be the problems of GraphQL-ifying REST APIs.

The update: Actually GraphQL does not give you benefits over REST for most use cases and you cannot escape intentional domain modeling just because you have strong types built into the API style. 👏

First hour at an in-person conference and I have decided i am not yet comfortable attending in-person conferences again just yet.

SO MUCH COUGHING. 😷

Top API-related challenges in business:

1. Lack of API-specific product manager
2. Lack of predefined standard
3. Lack of API-related engineering skills

Biggest market opportunity: API management for *consumption* of APIs. The focus of API management so far has been almost exclusively for API producers.

If you use @fastmail and want a Calendly-like meeting scheduler, https://simplymeet.me/ seems good and is free for personal use.

Calendly not supporting CalDAV is quite a limitation.

Twitter announced it is shutting down Revue, the email newsletter service I use, on 2023-01-18.

I need to find a new inexpensive way of sending mass email.

Apple reportedly is preparing to allow third-party app stores on the iPhone—but only in the EU.

Government regulation works.

My SAS flight is winter weather delayed and I will miss this afternoon’s sessions, but I am en route to #APIDaysParis!
