JavaLand 2025 was a blast! 🚀 Miriam & I talked OpenAPI & RESTful APIs. Shout-out to @jaapcoomans.nl for a great talk on contract-first API testing with Quarkus – awesome demo of real dev enablement! 💥

Standards in Software Engineering – Navigating the Maze Standards are vital for building interoperable systems, yet managing them requires strategic enablement.

As the year draws to a close, I have finally had the time to put together a final post for this year on the codecentric blog. https://bit.ly/3BwrcCc

This Wednesday at apidays I will take a look at the second iteration of the Federated API Management Specification Framework idea. Because Federated API Management is not just about tools. We also look at things from a socio-technical perspective. So be sure to join us at 11:35 in Aubépine 3!
