During this webinar, Kiwibank principal architect ArsaIan will dive into the different shades of API that emerge in classic RESTful thinking. The talk will unveil the current limitations of the popular API-Led Connectivity pattern that reduces business agility and speed to market. These limitations can be resolved by embracing two paradigm shifts in platform engineering. Arsalan will also demystify a few coupling patterns to watch out for in your platform journey.

In this session, participants will gain insights into:

3 out of 11 Architecture IMPAIRMENTS (a.k.a Couplings) in Sociotechnical Systems. Each letter in the word “IMPAIRMENTS” represents a unique type of coupling.
The drawbacks of the popular API-Led Connectivity Pattern.
Two key platform components to unleash business agility and faster time to market.

After a 30-minute talk there’ll be a 15-minute Q&A, for which we encourage you to submit questions in advance.

A webinar recording and related materials will be shared with all attendees after the event.
