API Evangelist Conversation with Reza Shafii, Product Executive At Kong

My friend Emanual had tagged me in one of Reza's posts on LinkedIn about API integrations being dead, so I invitied Reza to come over and explain more about what he meant. I knew the title was bait, but I was interested in hearing Reza's argument and after the conversation it is clear that he's done a lot of thinking at this intersection and wasn't just adding to the AI hype. It was interesting to hear the reasoning for signalling a shift in how we see and abstract away the work APIs are doing, and it was validating to hear that governance will play an important role in KILLING API integrations. ;-)
