Security tooling has a reputation problem with developers. Alert too early and you're noise. Gate too late and you're a blocker. So where's the sweet spot? naftiko.io/blog/finding...

I sat down with Anna Daugherty, CPMM of Arnica to talk about AppSec & governance at the intersection of IDE, Copilots, Git, Pipelines, and source code in today's episode of the Naftiko Capabilities podcast. www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5ZJ...

Emmanuel Paraskakis came by to talk API products and AI with me today during my live weekly conversation, and shared some insight into what spec-driven development is all about.

For decades, code has been king. Specifications existed to serve code. Product requirement documents (PRDs), architecture diagrams, and technical plans were scaffolding—useful early on, but quickly outdated. naftiko.io/blog/why-spe...

What are the implications of artificial intelligence (AI) at both geopolitical and industry-specific levels naftiko.io/blog/navigat...

I discuss the highest levels of AI with Simon Wardley, and how to stay sane in the depths of the hype cycles with Kevin Swiber and Mike Amundsen in this week's episode of the Naftiko Capabilities podcast. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ombZ...

We spent the last several months talking to platform teams, API architects, and integration leaders across the enterprise. We asked a simple question: What's actually blocking you right now? www.linkedin.com/pulse/enterp...

The API economy is evolving faster than the tooling, governance, and organizational muscles built to support it. After dozens of conversations with platform teams, API architects, and integration leaders across the enterprise, a pattern has emerged. naftiko.io/blog/42-prob...

Product managers are connecting copilots to Jira and Confluence through MCP servers. Sales reps are wiring up CRM integrations. The Model Context Protocol has made it remarkably easy for anyone to plug third-party services into their AI workflows. - naftiko.io/blog/shadow-...

API governance has always had a branding problem. The word "governance" conjures images of gatekeeping, enforcement, & pipeline failures. What we're seeing now is a fundamental shift in how that help gets delivered — and it's converging on a familiar pattern -- the README. naftiko.io/blog/the-fut...

There's a quiet standoff happening inside enterprises right now. On one side: engineering teams eager to ship AI-powered integrations using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and real-time streaming. naftiko.io/blog/is-mcp-...

Every new wave of technology brings a familiar chorus: "This will kill everything that came before it." GraphQL was going to kill REST. MCP was going to kill all APIs. Now MCP apps are supposedly going to kill all web UIs. naftiko.io/blog/are-age...

What is JSON Structure? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dc11...

Every platform leader eventually faces the same uncomfortable question from the executive floor: "Are we actually getting value from our API investments?" naftiko.io/blog/the-hid...

Clemens Vasters is coming by tomorrow for my Thursdays webinar conversation @ 10:00 AM EST to talk about JSON Structure, a data structure definition language that enforces strict typing, modularity & determinism. Register - bit.ly/3O0gOsl & JSON Structure - json-structure.github.io/core/draft-v...

AI copilots have quickly become a board-level expectation. Once leadership sees a demo—natural language queries flowing seamlessly into internal systems—the question is no longer if but how fast.

On this week's Naftiko Capabilities podcast, I sat down with Christian Posta, CTO at Solo.io, to dig into a question that's been on my mind: what's the role of a gateway in the age of AI agents? naftiko.io/blog/what-is...

Talking with Christian Posta about the role of the gateway in todays enterprise landscape, exploring identity and access management, commercialization, and what is shifting with AI, and specifically the Agent Gateway. youtu.be/xuiTNyCKMQ8?...

Patrick Kelly came by this morning for a talk on context engineering during my Tuesday's weekly webinar. The highlights from the conversation show up as a Naftiko Capabilities podcast in coming weeks, but here a short to wet your appetite. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ar4S...

In this short, we delve into the innovative ways developers are extending the OpenAPI specification to accommodate custom use cases and data injection. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlLl...

The AI agent social network called Moltbook has officially reached fever pitch. Your inbox and social media is flooded. Your leaderships is asking questions. Your teams are either panicking or overselling what this means for the business.

As we map out the next phase of the Naftiko roadmap, one question keeps surfacing in our planning sessions: how do we protect the sustainability of our business while staying true to the open-source is so important to us and our customers? naftiko.io/blog/why-wer...

🎯 Another milestone hit! Coolify now has 50,000 stars! Amazing work 🌟 Self-hosted cloud platform for effortless deployment

AI explains your product before customers talk to you. If your product can’t explain itself, AI fills the gaps with partial context. Explainability is where context engineering becomes real.

I recently sat down with Fran Méndez on the Naftiko Capabilities podcast, the creator of AsyncAPI about what happens after you build something successful, the brutal economics of open source & why he walked away from the project he spent a decade building. naftiko.io/blog/after-t...

👀 It'd be pretty cool to easily build and explain OAuth scopes and permissions eh? @lexicon.garden #ATProtocol #OAuth #Lexicon

When we talk about a business capability, syntax is important. It's a thing that gets done—a function that's abstract in nature. For the grammatically curious, a capability is usually expressed as a compound noun (mix of one or more nouns and/or a verb in noun form). naftiko.io/blog/what-is...
