PRO WORKSHOP (API): AI Needs APIs: Dynamic Data Access for Next-Gen Experiences
Tuesday November 5, 2024 5:00pm - 5:50pm PST
API World -- Workshop Stage C
Andrew Carlson, Apollo GraphQL, Principal Field Architect

Gartner predicts that by 2026, more than 30% of the increase in demand for APIs will come from artificial intelligence and tools using large language models. API sprawl is a hazardous form of technical debt. It has hard costs from hosting and scaling a fleet of APIs, real security risks and an increased operational burden from the sheer number of APIs that platform engineering teams need to manage. With GraphQL, any client, even an LLM, can request exactly the data they need without over or under-fetching. And with federated GraphQL, the data can come from any underlying API.

Learn popular use cases for implementing the graph in an AI-driven experience, how organizations can safely adopt AI on a spectrum from low to high trust, and why GraphQL is an ideal API access layer for AI.

Swagger and OpenAPI revolutionized the API landscape and created a thriving ecosystem of developer tools, from IDEs to contract testing and no-code solutions. In our projects (WireMock, Jenkins, Testcontainers and WireMock Cloud) we adopted OpenAPI to provide a great developer, and achieved great results. At the same time, the v3 version of specification has too many limitations, especially when it comes to behavior modeling: limited extensions framework, poor response flexibility limiting complex API options, and weak examples and self documentation capabilities. Good news is that OpenAPI v4 (Project Moonwalk) addresses many of those concerns and, hopefully, could address others before the release. Let’s, wearing our end user hats, discuss the v3 experiences and how we could address them in the upcoming major release!

Matthew Bae, Deloitte, Specialist Lead in API & Integration Offering

Modern integration techniques, typically implemented through APIs and Microservices, play a pivotal role in propelling digital transformation initiatives. These deployments often occur in highly distributed environments, where a large number of small APIs and Microservices are simultaneously developed by different teams.

This simultaneous development can present challenges such as coordination among teams and delays due to waiting for other teams' completion. Overcoming these challenges requires distributed development techniques like design-first approaches and test-driven methodologies. In these methods, interface specifications written in a common structured language serve as the "contract" to manage interface agreements between applications. These interface contracts, which are machine-readable, and version controlled, facilitate trust among teams and allow parallel development and testing of applications in an early stage of the application development lifecycle. The contracts also aid in dependency management, planning for integrated testing, and releases of all related APIs and Microservices.

This session discusses a GenAI-assisted solution to standardize the development of API specifications, and automate the publishing of versioned, traceable API documentation in an API catalog portal. This pro

Raj Ummadisetty, Netflix, Senior Software Engineer
Vidhya Arvind, Netflix, Staff Software Engineer

Managing data at Netflix scale presents unique challenges, especially with multiple applications requiring diverse databases. Traditional methods risk database sprawl, fragmented knowledge, and redundant efforts. Netflix's Data Access team addresses these issues with Data Abstractions, creating a streamlined data access layer.

Our paved path abstractions—KeyValue, Time Series, Graph, and more—offer robust APIs that hide underlying database complexities. Application teams simply specify their access patterns and requirements, and select the appropriate abstraction. Our platform then handles capacity planning, hardware provisioning, and database deployment.

Data Abstractions allow us to transparently switch databases, ensuring optimal performance and scalability as use cases evolve. This approach has enabled one of the largest database migrations at Netflix, completely transparent to the client. This innovative approach allows Netflix to maintain a high level of service reliability and operational efficiency, even as new database technologies emerge.

Learning objectives
1) Gain a comprehensive understanding of what Data Abstractions are and how they simplify database management by providing a robust data access layer.
2) Discover how Netflix's platform handles capacity planning and hardware provisioning based on application teams' specified access patterns and requirements.
3) Explore the architecture, scale, and novel techniques employed by Netflix to operate Data Abstractions reliably at massive scale.

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.

Thursday November 7, 2024 11:30am - 11:55am PST
API World -- Workshop Stage B
Vishal Motwani, Numbers Station AI,  Founding Product Manager 
Amit Shah, JLL, Senior Director  

Numbers Station Labs is excited to release Meadow, the first open source agentic framework built for data workflows. Data workflows are multi-step processes where an analyst first transforms, generates, and analyzes structured data to gain insights and take action. Mutli-AI-agent architectures are proving to be the key to solving highly complex tasks with AI that one model alone cannot solve, and are paving the way for end-to-end data workflow automation. None of the existing general-purpose agent frameworks are tailor-built for data analysts and lack support for sharing knowledge across a data layer, data-aware task deconstruction, and iterative data debugging. To address these concerns, we’ve built Meadow—the first multi-agentic framework for data tasks where all agents are data-aware and can communicate via shared data layer, hierarchically plan data tasks, and query the data interactively to debug. Early results show that Meadow, without any expensive labeled examples, is within 3.6 points of state-of-the-art on the Spider text-to-SQL benchmark and realizes lifts of up to 20 points over simple, zero-shot text-to-SQL prompts. Meadow is also capable of detecting data errors and uncovering incorrect benchmark queries that did not take into account extra white spaces in the data.

Parth Shah, Cruise, Staff Software Engineer
Bianca Tamayo, Cruise, Staff Software Engineer

In today's micro services world, it is far too common for an API service to explode at an unbounded rate. The journey starts off as a shiny new micro service, which was designed to contain APIs for 1 business entity, becoming so heavily utilized that over time, it evolves and turns into a massive monolith, which contains hundreds of APIs for dozens of business entities. In the early days, new features could be introduced and rolled out within a few hours. Now, a small database schema change takes a few days or weeks to roll out. In this madness, how do you effectively and efficiently decompose and modernize your monolith? This session goes over a real world case study of how a group of 5 engineers decomposed a 160+ API monolith into smaller and focused micro services with 0 outages, 0 downtime, increase in overall service availability from 99.9% to 99.999%, decrease in latencies from 15% to 95% and ability to handle 90x more traffic with a reduced resource footprint (68% reduction in compute and 55% reduction in memory).

Agentic AI is the next frontier. Whilst current chat-bot + RAG use cases were the first wave, they are ultimately limited in how much they can transform work and deliver on the productivity growth that we have all been promised. Agentic AIs can autonomously pursue complex goals and workflows with limited direct human supervision, making it possible to automate large amounts of knowledge work.

However, whilst the systems of today, namely GPU-based systems, were well suited to chatbots and knowledge retrieval use cases, they are not equipped to handle this new wave of Agentic AI. From ultra-fast token generation, running lots of models of each node and instant model switching, we walk through why this matters, and how fast inference speeds through SambaNova unlock this capability.

Gartner predicts that by 2026, more than 30% of the increase in demand for APIs will come from artificial intelligence and tools using large language models. API sprawl is a hazardous form of technical debt. It has hard costs from hosting and scaling a fleet of APIs, real security risks and an increased operational burden from the sheer number of APIs that platform engineering teams need to manage. With GraphQL, any client, even an LLM, can request exactly the data they need without over or under-fetching. And with federated GraphQL, the data can come from any underlying API.

Learn popular use cases for implementing the graph in an AI-driven experience, how organizations can safely adopt AI on a spectrum from low to high trust, and why GraphQL is an ideal API access layer for AI.

Wednesday November 13, 2024 2:00pm - 2:25pm PST
VIRTUAL API World -- Workshop Stage B
Gabriel Schulhof, Auction.com, Senior Software Engineer

Two aspects of resolvers have an outsized influence on their performance: the size of the execution context, and the way we compute their value. In the Node.js implementation of graphql, promises wrapping primitive values are especially disruptive, since they add a large computing overhead. The context size creates a memory usage baseline that can rise very quickly with even small additions to the context, when there are many concurrent contexts. The execution can create temporary objects, increasing memory usage. Often-run resolvers, such as those responsible for filling out large arrays of objects, can become performance bottlenecks.

At Auction.com, our search results page (SRP) requests up to 500 items of roughly 80 fields each. The query resolving these fields was suffering a high latency. We shall examine the tools to instrument our code and identify memory usage and CPU utilization bottlenecks.

Our realtime elements (e.g. realtime updates to the status of currently viewed properties) are implemented using a translation of kafka messages to graphql updates. We shall present the tools and procedures to reduce memory usage and CPU usage when fanning out such messages.

Matthew Bae, Deloitte, Specialist Lead in API & Integration Offering

Modern integration techniques, typically implemented through APIs and Microservices, play a pivotal role in propelling digital transformation initiatives. These deployments often occur in highly distributed environments, where a large number of small APIs and Microservices are simultaneously developed by different teams.

This simultaneous development can present challenges such as coordination among teams and delays due to waiting for other teams' completion. Overcoming these challenges requires distributed development techniques like design-first approaches and test-driven methodologies. In these methods, interface specifications written in a common structured language serve as the "contract" to manage interface agreements between applications. These interface contracts, which are machine-readable, and version controlled, facilitate trust among teams and allow parallel development and testing of applications in an early stage of the application development lifecycle. The contracts also aid in dependency management, planning for integrated testing, and releases of all related APIs and Microservices.

This session discusses a GenAI-assisted solution to standardize the development of API specifications, and automate the publishing of versioned, traceable API documentation in an API catalog portal. This pro

Raj Ummadisetty, Netflix, Senior Software Engineer
Vidhya Arvind, Netflix, Staff Software Engineer

Managing data at Netflix scale presents unique challenges, especially with multiple applications requiring diverse databases. Traditional methods risk database sprawl, fragmented knowledge, and redundant efforts. Netflix's Data Access team addresses these issues with Data Abstractions, creating a streamlined data access layer.

Our paved path abstractions—KeyValue, Time Series, Graph, and more—offer robust APIs that hide underlying database complexities. Application teams simply specify their access patterns and requirements, and select the appropriate abstraction. Our platform then handles capacity planning, hardware provisioning, and database deployment.

Data Abstractions allow us to transparently switch databases, ensuring optimal performance and scalability as use cases evolve. This approach has enabled one of the largest database migrations at Netflix, completely transparent to the client. This innovative approach allows Netflix to maintain a high level of service reliability and operational efficiency, even as new database technologies emerge.

Learning objectives
1) Gain a comprehensive understanding of what Data Abstractions are and how they simplify database management by providing a robust data access layer.
2) Discover how Netflix's platform handles capacity planning and hardware provisioning based on application teams' specified access patterns and requirements.
3) Explore the architecture, scale, and novel techniques employed by Netflix to operate Data Abstractions reliably at massive scale.

Swagger and OpenAPI revolutionized the API landscape and created a thriving ecosystem of developer tools, from IDEs to contract testing and no-code solutions. In our projects (WireMock, Jenkins, Testcontainers and WireMock Cloud) we adopted OpenAPI to provide a great developer, and achieved great results. At the same time, the v3 version of specification has too many limitations, especially when it comes to behavior modeling: limited extensions framework, poor response flexibility limiting complex API options, and weak examples and self documentation capabilities. Good news is that OpenAPI v4 (Project Moonwalk) addresses many of those concerns and, hopefully, could address others before the release. Let’s, wearing our end user hats, discuss the v3 experiences and how we could address them in the upcoming major release!

Thursday November 14, 2024 9:30am - 9:55am PST
VIRTUAL CloudX -- Expo Innovation Stage
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.

[Virtual] PRO SESSION (API): Bridging the Gap: A Case Study in Unifying Disparate Systems for Seamless Smart Home Security
Thursday November 14, 2024 10:00am - 10:25am PST
VIRTUAL API World -- Workshop Stage B
Arun Narasimhan, Google, Senior Software Engineer

The Internet of Things (IoT) landscape for smart home security is often fragmented, with various providers offering distinct solutions. This presentation explores a collaboration between ADT, a leader in traditional security systems, and Google, a pioneer in smart home devices.

Previously, customers would have had to juggle separate applications and ecosystems from ADT and Google to manage their security needs. This project addressed this challenge by integrating data and functionality from both systems into a single, user-friendly mobile application called "ADT+".

The talk will delve into the technical aspects of integrating siloed systems and explore how APIs were leveraged to this enable it.

Takeaways will include a list of best practices for doing large scale system integrations between industry behemoths.

[Virtual] PRO SESSION (API): Meadow: LLM Agents for Data Tasks
Thursday November 14, 2024 11:30am - 11:55am PST
VIRTUAL API World -- Workshop Stage B
Laurel Orr, Numbers Station AI, ML Architect
Ines Chami, Numbers Station AI, Co-founder & Chief Scientist

Numbers Station Labs is excited to release Meadow, the first open source agentic framework built for data workflows. Data workflows are multi-step processes where an analyst first transforms, generates, and analyzes structured data to gain insights and take action. Mutli-AI-agent architectures are proving to be the key to solving highly complex tasks with AI that one model alone cannot solve, and are paving the way for end-to-end data workflow automation. None of the existing general-purpose agent frameworks are tailor-built for data analysts and lack support for sharing knowledge across a data layer, data-aware task deconstruction, and iterative data debugging. To address these concerns, we’ve built Meadow—the first multi-agentic framework for data tasks where all agents are data-aware and can communicate via shared data layer, hierarchically plan data tasks, and query the data interactively to debug. Early results show that Meadow, without any expensive labeled examples, is within 3.6 points of state-of-the-art on the Spider text-to-SQL benchmark and realizes lifts of up to 20 points over simple, zero-shot text-to-SQL prompts. Meadow is also capable of detecting data errors and uncovering incorrect benchmark queries that did not take into account extra white spaces in the data.

VIRTUAL API World -- Expo Discovery Stage
Parth Shah, Cruise, Staff Software Engineer
Bianca Tamayo, Cruise, Staff Software Engineer

In today's micro services world, it is far too common for an API service to explode at an unbounded rate. The journey starts off as a shiny new micro service, which was designed to contain APIs for 1 business entity, becoming so heavily utilized that over time, it evolves and turns into a massive monolith, which contains hundreds of APIs for dozens of business entities. In the early days, new features could be introduced and rolled out within a few hours. Now, a small database schema change takes a few days or weeks to roll out. In this madness, how do you effectively and efficiently decompose and modernize your monolith? This session goes over a real world case study of how a group of 5 engineers decomposed a 160+ API monolith into smaller and focused micro services with 0 outages, 0 downtime, increase in overall service availability from 99.9% to 99.999%, decrease in latencies from 15% to 95% and ability to handle 90x more traffic with a reduced resource footprint (68% reduction in compute and 55% reduction in memory).
