Budhaditya Bhattacharya, Tyk, Developer Advocate
Supreet Nagi, Northwestern Mutual, Assistant Director Systems Software Engineering

NorthWestern Mutual is one of the largest financial services providers in the United States with 5 million+ customers and 6700+ financial advisors. APIs are a core part of our business and are supported by a highly mature API platform engineering team.
In this case study, we learn how we combined seamless API creation and centralized governance using an automated workflow-based model to drive an exceptional DevX.
We will examine a combination of tools, such as K8S, KEDA, Jaeger, and OTel, that enabled the creation of our API platform, along with changes to people and processes.
What we will cover:
1. Key challenges when balancing API creation & governance at scale
2. Implementing an automated workflow-based governance model
3. Metrics of success & outcomes achieved
4. How to execute a similar API platform strategy using the platform engineering maturity model
Ultimately, this session provides real-world examples and insights into best practices for implementing this model within your company.
