You Might Be Doing API-First Wrong, New Analyst Research Suggests

Ever feel like you're fighting an uphill battle with your API strategy? You're building APIs faster than ever, but somehow everything feels harder. Wasn’t API-first supposed to make all this easier? Well, you're not alone. And now industry analysts are noting it as well. New Gartner research on successful API-first integration just came out, and it validates something we've been saying for a while: many organizations are fundamentally misunderstanding what API-first actually means. The result?

Comparing MCP (Model Context Protocol) Gateways

The rise of Model Context Protocol (MCP) has given AI agents and large language models (LLMs) a standardized way to talk to external tools, APIs, and data sources. In theory, it solves the messy integrations and custom connectors that have slowed down real-world agent adoption. A clean protocol should mean smooth interoperability. However, we’re observing certain patterns of fragmentation. Each MCP server runs in isolation. Agents have to handle multiple connections.

Level Up Your Digital Health Platform with Kong, SMART on FHIR, Okta

The healthcare industry is buzzing about FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources). Pronounced “fire,” this widely adopted data standard has been revolutionizing how healthcare information is exchanged. But building a truly modern, secure, and scalable digital health platform takes more than just a data standard. Here comes SMART on FHIR, a framework that builds on FHIR to create a universal, secure, and user-friendly way for applications to access electronic health records(EHRs).

Fast-Tracking AI Integration with Security & Compliance: A CISO's Best Practices Guide

Integrating AI into enterprise systems is a high-wire act: you must deliver value quickly—without breaking security, compliance, or scalability. This guide distills security-first patterns CISOs can operationalize immediately: zero-trust for every AI interaction, least-privilege RBAC, end-to-end encryption and secret management, auditable-by-default pipelines, and a platform approach that minimizes custom code and speeds delivery. Bottom line: Treat AI like any external, untrusted client.

Unlock Seamless Integration with DreamFactory's AI Gateway

APIs have become the backbone of modern software architecture—but building and securing them is often harder than it should be. Developers today are expected to expose dozens of data sources as clean, secure, and compliant APIs—fast. From managing authentication to documenting endpoints and enforcing governance, the traditional approach to API integration comes with friction, delay, and technical debt.

How to Build a CI/CD Pipeline for APIs Using WSO2 API Manager and GitOps

Continuous integration and continuous delivery/deployment (CI/CD) in API management refers to the automation of building, testing, publishing, and promoting APIs across environments (development, staging, and production) using CI/CD practices. It brings DevOps principles to the API lifecycle, enabling faster and more reliable API releases.
