In this episode, Nuwan Dias, Vice President and Deputy CTO at WSO2, joins to explore what effective API lifecycle management really looks like. Drawing on his deep experience building API platforms, Nuwan outlines the key pillars of successful API programs—from strategy and governance to security, testing, and deployment. He shares how organizations can operationalize API-first thinking at scale, and the role of dedicated API teams in enabling this shift.

Many pharmaceutical companies have been around for decades and must continually adapt to a rapidly evolving, technology-driven world. Even those that keep pace with digital trends often struggle with data silos and disparate systems, making it difficult to share information across platforms. This fragmentation hinders their ability to meet patient expectations, accelerate drug launches, and develop personalized therapies.

The Java Native Interface (JNI) stands as a pivotal link between the realms of Java and native programming languages like C and C++. It plays a crucial role in Java programming, particularly when integrating native libraries — .so files in Linux or.dll files in Windows. JNI allows Java applications to access and leverage the performance and capabilities inherent in native code.

REST APIs are now the backbone of modern systems, powering 83% of APIs, while SOAP lags behind at 15%. Why? REST is faster, simpler, and better suited for today’s needs, including AI and MCP (Model Context Protocol). DreamFactory makes this transition easy with automated REST API generation, robust security, and scalability. Here’s what you need to know.

Today’s software developers depend on suitable tools to perform better in their work. People working as developers during 2025 seek text editors which offer comprehensive functionalities and improve their work efficiency by incorporating intelligent functions. The dev community embraces two innovative editors – VSCode and Cursor.

Imagine a world where you could deploy your API gateways across any cloud, enforce enterprise-grade policies, and meet compliance standards all within a single Terraform apply. Most teams think about infrastructure as code only in terms of spinning up VMs, networking components, databases, or maybe a Kubernetes cluster. But what if your API platform was just as programmable? With Kong’s Konnect platform and its support for Terraform, that reality is here today!

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is rapidly becoming the connective tissue for agentic AI systems and IDE tooling. Whether you’re building a dev tool that integrates with LLMs or enabling a context-aware API backend, standing up an MCP server is a rite of passage. But MCP is still in its early days and there are some sharp edges. Here are four practical shortcuts to fast-track your MCP server development so you can skip the boilerplate and get to the good stuff: intelligent tooling.
