As APIs scale and organizations structure complex systems, it’s almost inevitable that some enterprises are going to end up with more than one API gateway. Sometimes this is intentional — especially when those gateways represent different environments, segmented data services across regions, or different teams and thus different focuses. More often, however, this is just ...

When it comes to building dynamic and real-work solutions, developers need to stitch multiple databases (relational, document, graph, vector, time-series, search) together and build complex API layers to integrate them. This generates significant complexity, cost, and operational risk, and reduces speed of innovation. More often than not, developers end up focusing on building glue code...

From an enterprise resource app owner’s perspective, Cross App Access (XAA) is a game-changer because it allows their resources to be “AI-ready” without compromising on security. In the XAA model, resource apps rely on the enterprise’s Identity Provider (IdP) to manage access. Instead of building out interactive OAuth flows, they defer to the IdP to check enterprise policies and user…
