PRO SESSION (API): Unleashing GenAI's Potential for Advanced API Linting
Thursday November 7, 2024 9:30am - 9:55am PST
API World -- Workshop Stage B
Sridhar Kunisetty, Equinix, Principal Architect

An API linter plays a crucial role in ensuring that API specifications adhere to established standards, best practices, guidelines, and are free from potential errors. It is an essential component in the development process to ensure that APIs are well-designed, consistent, maintainable, reliable, secure and follow the organization's conventions and guidelines.

We present a new approach to API linting by harnessing the power of Generative AI (GenAI). Our solution involves training a Large Language Model (LLM) to act as an Advanced API Linter, capable of not only answering correctness queries but also analyzing API specifications and providing a comprehensive list of errors, violations, and issues.

Unlike traditional API linters, our GenAI solution eliminates the need for complex validation rules and specialized expertise. By training the LLM with our organization's API standards, best practices, and guidelines, we enable it to understand and enforce these rules effortlessly. Moreover, the training process is straightforward, and we can alternatively provide the necessary content as a context in the prompt to the LLM.

One of the key advantages of our GenAI approach is its user-friendliness. Instead of grappling with new syntax or programming languages to define validation rules, users can express their requirements in plain English. This democratizes API linting, empowering developers to improve API quality through self-service and facilitating the seamless adoption of an API-First approach.

During this session, we will showcase a range of use cases that demonstrate how GenAI can be leveraged to achieve advanced API linting capabilities. Additionally, we will explore the potential of utilizing a Small Language Model (SLM) as an alternative to the LLM, opening up new possibilities for API linting efficiency.

Join us as we unveil the future of API linting, where GenAI revolutionizes the development process, enhances API quality, and empowers developers to build robust and reliable APIs effortlessly.

PRO SESSION (API): Designing A Lingua Franca for Data Access
Thursday November 7, 2024 9:30am - 9:55am PST
API World -- Workshop Stage A
Tom Harding, Hasura, Software Engineer

How could we design an API for querying data across all kinds of sources? How could we describe complex queries that join data across them? This problem is tough enough when all the sources are, say, Postgres, but what about when we need to join data from Postgres to MongoDB? Or an arbitrary CSV file? Or even another API? How do we talk about data access and manipulation in a way that makes sense for all these possible backends?

In this talk, we'll discuss how we've been designing a solution to this problem. We'll talk about some of the challenges in keeping API design consistent across data sources, balancing simplicity and expressivity, and even making all of this performant behind the infinite number shapes that a GraphQL request can take.

As AI technologies like Machine Learning (ML), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and predictive analytics become central to marketing strategies, they facilitate unparalleled personalization and efficiency in analyzing vast datasets and optimizing marketing efforts. Despite these advancements enhancing customer engagement by 40% and reducing operational costs by 30%, the rapid proliferation of AI tools in marketing raises significant ethical concerns. Key issues include the potential for data privacy breaches, the accuracy and bias in AI algorithms, and the lack of transparency in AI-driven decisions. These challenges not only affect consumer trust, which has seen a decline of 20% in brands using AI indiscriminately but also pose risks to brand integrity and compliance with evolving regulatory frameworks. To navigate this landscape responsibly, this presentation will explore best practices and frameworks for ethical AI usage in marketing. We will discuss the implementation of rigorous data governance protocols that ensure user data protection and privacy, techniques for auditing and mitigating biases in AI models to boost decision transparency, and strategies for maintaining compliance with international data use regulations. By fostering an ethical AI deployment approach, companies can enhance customer satisfaction by 25% and improve brand loyalty. This talk aims to equip professionals with actionable insights to leverage AI in marketing ethically and sustainably, ensuring long-term business success and consumer trust.

This abstract emphasizes the balance between leveraging AI's capabilities and addressing ethical considerations, backed by relevant data points to enhance its appeal to conference reviewers.

Microservices are currently the architecture du jour for building cloud native applications. This session will describe how microservices, each with their own database, can work together to ensure the data they maintain is consistent with the databases of other microservices.

Deciding on a pattern to guarantee data consistency is dependent upon many factors. This session will describe some of those factors and provide practical solutions to ensuring data consistency across a broad range of microservices.

At the completion of this session, attendees should understand that it's more important to determine the context and requirements for their application than just going with the current mantra. Hopefully this will lead them to consider simpler design patterns that have been discarded for no other reason than someone decided they're an anti-pattern.

This presentation demonstrates a method for validating network configurations in a lab environment, both pre- and post-deployment, to build confidence before implementing changes in production networks. Using open-source tools, custom scripts, and containerlab, we'll walk through each step of implementing a CI/CD pipeline. This approach not only enhances confidence in network deployments but also bridges the gap between traditional networking practices and modern DevOps methodologies.

Locationless API management is a paradigm shift in API governance and security. This innovative approach allows organizations to efficiently manage their APIs distributed across multiple clouds and clusters without exposing them publicly over the internet. Instead, it leverages a sophisticated layer seven service network, offering a secure and seamless solution for API management. By operating locationless, businesses can maintain a high degree of control and privacy over their APIs, mitigating the risks associated with public exposure while facilitating efficient communication between services across diverse deployment environments.

A Layer 7 service network provides the necessary infrastructure to establish secure connections between services, regardless of location. Through this network, APIs can be efficiently managed and accessed within a controlled environment, ensuring that sensitive data and functionalities remain protected. This locationless API management approach not only enhances security but also streamlines operations, as it minimizes the complexities of public-facing API management. As organizations continue to prioritize data privacy and security, locationless API management, powered by technologies like a Layer 7 service network, emerges as a game-changing solution that empowers businesses to securely manage and utilize their APIs without the need for public internet exposure.

PRO SESSION (API): Gridlock: The Dual-Edged Sword of EV and Solar APIs in Grid Security
Thursday November 7, 2024 2:30pm - 2:55pm PST
API World -- Workshop Stage A
Vangelis Stykas, Atropos, CTO

In this talk, we delve deep into the increasingly interconnected world of electronic vehicles (EVs), photovoltaic (PV) solar systems, and the broader power grid infrastructure—a nexus that is becoming a fertile ground for potential large-scale cyber disruptions. As we navigate through this complex interplay of technology and infrastructure, we will uncover the critical vulnerabilities lurking within the API connections that bind these systems together. Our exploration will not only highlight these weaknesses but will also demonstrate, through real-world scenarios and potential attack vectors, how they can be exploited to launch sophisticated cyber-attacks, emphasizing the urgent need for robust security frameworks and proactive cybersecurity measures to safeguard our collective future.
The advent of PV inverters and EV charging systems has been marred by the industry's "rush to market" mentality, leading to overlooked security considerations. These critical weaknesses potentially allow remote attackers unprecedented control, with the ability to fully commandeer or even incapacitate these devices. Our investigation will reveal how targeting cloud platforms used by installers could unlock elevated access not just to PV inverters but also to EV chargers. This access includes functionalities usually restricted from the systems' proprietors, thereby opening a pandora's box of vulnerabilities.

PRO SESSION (CloudX): Petabyte-Scale Deployments: Balancing Immutability and Flexibility
Thursday November 7, 2024 2:30pm - 2:55pm PST
CloudX -- Stage 1
Anup Ghatage, Salesforce, Lead Member of Technical Staff
Varun Shah, Salesforce, Software Engineer

At Salesforce, our team does Kubernetes deployments at the petabyte scale, with 100+ clusters, 10000+ pods, and 25+ PiB of provisioned storage and innumerable Kubernetes jobs. Operating at this massive scale necessitates an approach that reduces engineering toil. Maintaining such mammoth clusters while keeping security in mind is a whole different challenge.

We specifically talk about how and why we picked immutability and Infra-as-code as the cornerstone of our design and the challenges around it. Immutability provides security and scalability and eliminates config drift. Infra-as-code guarantees that changes to our infrastructure follow the same software lifecycle. but the trade-off is a lack of flexibility to adapt to changing requirements.

In this talk, we go over the unique design choices that help us manage, grow, and configure petabyte-scale deployments at Salesforce.
