APIs Are Bridging the Mobile App Gap

APIs Are Bridging the Mobile App Gap

By Quinton Wall on April 15, 2014

Almost overnight, it seems, our lives came to revolve around social networks: We scan our Facebook feeds for updates from our families and relevant news, use Twitter to follow friends and celebrities, and pin the latest fashions or home-improvement ideas via Pinterest. Behind it all is the desire to drive engagement, to stay connected with […]

Open Letter to the OpenStack Community: OpenStack’s Future Depends on Embracing Amazon. Now.

Open Letter to the OpenStack Community: OpenStack’s Future Depends on Embracing Amazon. Now.

By Randy Bias on July 24, 2013

Dear Stackers,  For three years, elements of the OpenStack community have arbitrarily and unfairly positioned OpenStack against incumbents, especially Amazon Web Services (AWS) and VMware (VMW). The practical expression of this view is that OpenStack should build and maintain its own set of differentiated APIs. I’ve made no secret of my belief that this choice […]

The Rise of the Cloud Stack

The Rise of the Cloud Stack

By Aaron Levie on June 27, 2013

Something changed this week in the enterprise software world. In an industry known for ruthless competition, a number of players – Microsoft, Oracle, Salesforce and NetSuite – introduced partnerships that portend a very different future. In very un-Larry Ellison-like fashion, something akin to harmony was proposed, “when customers choose cloud applications, they expect rapid low-cost […]

Getting Github : JavaScript Libraries Spilled EVERYWHERE! Series #003

Getting Github : JavaScript Libraries Spilled EVERYWHERE! Series #003

By Adron Hall on March 18, 2013

This how-to is going to kind of go all over the place. My goal is to get github data. The question however is, how and with what. I knew there were some available libraries, so writing straight and pulling straight off of the API myself seemed like it would be unnecessary work. The github API […]

Is Infochimps running from the Data Market business?

Is Infochimps running from the Data Market business?

By Paul Miller on March 1, 2013

Infochimps is one of the early champions of the data market business, and one that I’ve followed for several years. As I mentioned in my last post on the topic, the company has recently begun to pivot towards delivery of their (compelling) Enterprise Cloud big data analysis offering, with the company’s data market origins slipping further […]

ETLs and APIs – A Thought Stream on the Matter, Are Things Really Changing That Much?

ETLs and APIs – A Thought Stream on the Matter, Are Things Really Changing That Much?

By Adron Hall on October 22, 2012

Often the tendency has been, and largely still is in Enterprises, to build things really large. Doing big design up front (BDUF) all the way to creating massive JavaScript libraries for generating JavaScript from non-JavaScript langauges, leading to a huge case of analysis paralysis and other such keywords that all point to the mythic man month or […]

Cloud Architecture And Best Of Breed

Cloud Architecture And Best Of Breed

By Krishnan Subramanian on October 10, 2012

As cloud computing becomes all the more pervasive, people are rethinking the idea of buying software and hardware suites in favor of best of breed approach. In a way, cloud architecture makes it easy to avoid the integrated stack lock-in as interoperability through open APIs is taken for granted in most cases. At Boxworks 2012, […]

Mashery’s Tool Aims To Make APIs The Dominant Enterprise Interface

By Krishnan Subramanian on April 23, 2012

The way organizations communicate is changing fast. With cloud adoption increasing across businesses of all sizes and shapes, this shift is accelerating even in the enterprise segment. I am talking about APIs becoming the dominant interface for programatic communications between applications. It used to be the domain of some modern web companies, mostly focussed on […]

Of little clouds and big clouds, local clouds and global clouds

By Paul Miller on April 20, 2012

Image: NASA Amazon’s globe-encircling cloud infrastructure is compelling to many. From Virginia to California, from Ireland to Singapore, and from Japan to Brazil; wherever you find yourself there’s a local instance of the same familiar set of services. And, in all likelihood, Australia will soon be added to the list. For those primarily interested in just serving […]

Why API's suck, and what they lack

Why API’s suck, and what they lack

By Martijn Linssen on March 29, 2012

The Social Media Movement is slowly moving towards monetisation. Social Business, yes even Social Enterprise, is neigh. Infographics bite the dust in an ever-increasing frenzy to prove that social is here to stay, to rule, to conquer the world! And as yet another evidence of that, API’s are brought forward – by the hundreds, no […]

Do We Need A Standardization Around Amazon APIs?

Do We Need A Standardization Around Amazon APIs?

By Krishnan Subramanian on February 17, 2012

Today there was a debate among the #clouderati about whether OpenStack should standardize their APIs around AWS APIs. Even though two years back I had an opinion that standardizing around AWS API will be good because of interoperability advantages, I have since changed my position and I now feel that it is too early to […]

Why I Think Office 365 Is Not (Yet) Ready

Why I Think Office 365 Is Not (Yet) Ready

By Krishnan Subramanian on January 12, 2012

Earlier this week I had a Tweetbate with few folks who have a soft corner for Microsoft products on whether Office 365 (previous CloudAve coverage), Microsoft’s cloud based productivity suite, is a credible player in the modern cloud business applications space. When I say modern cloud business applications, I expect them to have, at least, […]
