Kin Lane believes that the bill for AI is coming soon, arriving on top of an overdue tab that has been accumulating for almost a decade, as API sprawl & application proliferation have outpaced businesses ability to understand, govern, or cost what has been built. thenewstack.io/ai-spend-bus...

Thank you, @naftiko.bsky.social, for supporting the API Changelog newsletter.

The bill is coming due.

Every legal, policy, and AI governance team I have talked to in the last six months is trying to keep up with the same thing — fifty states writing AI legislation in parallel, at different speeds, in different vocabularies, with nobody centralizing the picture.

I have been walking through the Naftiko Framework use cases one at a time, and this is the one I have been quietly saving for last. Capability-first API reusability. naftiko.io/blog/capabil...

Anthropic’s Building Effective Agents is the single most important reference document I have read in 2026. Inside the team here, we treat it as a week-to-week input rather than background reading. . naftiko.io/blog/anthrop...

Apify just shipped the right pattern. Their new MCP Configurator lets a consumer pick 10–15 Actors out of the 25,000+ on the platform and expose just those to an agent through a custom MCP URL. Pre-configured. Bounded. Searchable when the agent needs to escape the box. naftiko.io/blog/apify-e...

→ Is there an OpenAPI spec? → Is there an AsyncAPI? → Is there a Swagger 2 still hanging around? → Is there an MCP server descriptor? → Are there Agent Skills? → Are there JSON Schemas? → Postman collections? Bruno collections? www.linkedin.com/pulse/capabi...

Last week I participated embedded event at a larger builders conference in Philadelphia. The event itself was three hours. The room held about thirty people. The mix was startups, enterprise CIOs, and a handful of investors. naftiko.io/blog/engagem...

🧠 The conversation around AI for developers usually starts with the model. But inside @code, what really shapes the experience is the coding harness: the layer responsible for context, tool calling, agent loops, terminal execution, memory, and more. code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2026/0...

"More than half of large companies now manage more than 1,000 APIs. And, if each API has, on average, 10 operations, you end up with an inventory that is almost impossible to manage." apichangelog.substack.com/p/moving-fro...

There is a sentence I keep hearing in enterprise conversations, usually from a leader who is genuinely trying to move fast on AI and feeling pulled in two directions by their org. naftiko.io/blog/governa...

I am at APIDays NYC for the second year in a row. The conference is still very much about AI and agents — that is the center of gravity and probably will be for a while. What has changed in twelve months is the texture of the conversation. naftiko.io/blog/apidays...

I am giving two talks at APIDays NYC this week. On paper they look like two different topics — API governance on Wednesday, OpenAPI examples and tags on Thursday — but they are really one argument from two sides. naftiko.io/blog/two-api...

Three of the largest enterprise SaaS vendors on the planet just made the same move & it tells you exactly which decade their internal product roadmaps live in. Salesforce locked down agent access first. Slack followed a few weeks later. SAP just announced its own version. naftiko.io/blog/when-sa...

Tell me you don't have a handle on API management without telling you don't have a handle on API management. - www.cio.com/article/4166...

What if MCP servers are better deployed by API consumers for what they need, instead of API providers publishing their own MCP servers?

A pattern keeps repeating & we are watching it repeat right now in real time. A category opens up. A startup makes the entry point easy & free, gets people hooked at the team & individual level & then funnels everyone toward the SaaS-cloud version where the revenue lives. naftiko.io/blog/privati...

The Cannabis industry presents a tale of two competitive tiers. Curaleaf Holdings and Green Thumb Industries have built technology foundations that, while modest by cross-industry standards, represent genuine multi-layer investment across cloud, operations, data, and security. bit.ly/42ggpWG

I keep getting asked where Naftiko Capabilities came from. The honest answer is that they came from three places at once, and most of the conversation about agents in 2026 is only willing to talk about two of them. naftiko.io/blog/naftiko...

Today's Naftiko Capabilities podcasts revisits our talk with Budhaditya Bhattacharya and Supreet Nagi to talk about Zero-Touch Governance Under Pressure. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RW6G...

Palo Alto Networks' planned acquisition of Portkey turns the AI gateway from developer plumbing into an enterprise security checkpoint for agents.

Roadmaps are buyer documents. The platform team reads them to know whether to pilot now or wait. The security team reads them to know whether the right governance hooks are coming. naftiko.io/blog/the-naf...

I am four posts into walking back through the Naftiko Framework use cases, and this is the one I have been looking forward to, because it is the use case that everybody has and nobody talks about. naftiko.io/blog/elevate...

The conventional wisdom says Tesla leads automotive AI. The signal data says otherwise. www.linkedin.com/pulse/naftik...

Your CFO knows your cloud bill. They know your model-provider spend. They certainly know your enterprise SaaS subscriptions. They almost certainly do not know your per-capability AI spend. naftiko.io/blog/capabil...

Every conversation I have with someone trying to navigate their company’s AI investment eventually collapses into one of three things. They are trying to cut cost. They are trying to ship faster — velocity. Or they are trying to manage risk before something goes wrong. naftiko.io/blog/cost-ve...

Anthropic's Managed Agents platform bundles sandboxing, checkpointing, and persistent memory into a single API layer — and the company's ambitions look a lot less like a model provider and a lot more like AWS.

The second alpha of the Naftiko Fleet-code name “Catamaran” is out. The release was announced today by Jérôme Louvel in Naftiko Discussions #7 & it lands as the biggest single update yet for the open-source Framework, the VS Code extension & the Backstage templates. naftiko.io/blog/naftiko...

For this episode of the Naftiko Capabilities Podcast I sat back down with Rose M — a few years on from our first conversation about API governance and product management — to check in on what has shifted as AI has reshaped how we design, build, and govern APIs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=79KR...

Most enterprise AI rollouts fail in one of two ways. The first treats the entire stack as non-deterministic. The team gives an agent a long tool list, lets it call whatever it wants, prompts it to figure things out & watches it hallucinate against an unbounded surface.r. naftiko.io/blog/determi...

JSON Schema is essential for grounding unpredictable AI outputs. Discover why this standard ensures enterprise data reliability in 2026. thenewstack.io/json-schema-...

Most MCP servers in production today are observability dead-zones. You can call them. You cannot see what they did. You cannot see how long it took. You cannot see whose token paid for it. naftiko.io/blog/does-yo...

I keep watching teams copy-paste an entire JSON response into a prompt and then wonder why the model is slow, expensive, and distracted. naftiko.io/blog/rightsi...

The Head of AI is becoming a real role. Not a strategy deck, not a re-titled VP of Data Science, but a distinct executive function: standardize and govern how MCP servers get produced and consumed, shepherd AI integration from idea through compliance to production. naftiko.io/blog/five-pr...

I keep running into the same conversation. A team wants to put an agent in front of “the data,” and somebody finally has to admit that a meaningful slice of “the data” lives in CSV files. naftiko.io/blog/convert...

I am walking through the Naftiko Framework use cases in order one post at a time, because the more copilot & agent projects I see inside real companies the more I notice the same failure mode-every team connecting an LLM to an internal system ends up writing glue code. naftiko.io/blog/ai-inte...
