How does your organisation manage the plethora of APIs that you build and consume? This challenge has been growing over the years as the popularity and importance of APIs has been recognized to decouple and integrate systems.

Julia Kasper, from Microsoft's API Center product team gave Evan Basalik and me the low down on how APIC is on the road to managing this problem. https://lnkd.in/d3u7kwh5 Amber Joyce, Joshua Chalcraft, Raj Mistry, Doug Chisholm, Aditya Sutar, Stephanie Locke, Stephanie Eta, Abdullah Abu-Hassan, Solomon A., Alexandre Durieu, Alexander J.

Last week we delivered on our second, industry focused, breakfast briefing at the impressive Gherkin. This time we honed in on the impact and importance of operational and organisational resiliency within the FSI world. Thanks James Hardy for your interactive talk on this.
