Cigil Achenkunju, LivePerson, Data and Product Management

How do we know if this gen AI investment is moving the needle? It is a question heard almost daily across finance, healthcare, and retail. And honestly, it is the right question to ask. On top of that, should we continue to invest in AI at the same rate or optimize? How can a stakeholder show that solution usage has a positive or maybe negative impact on their operation?
Survey results indicate that up to 85% of AI initiatives eventually fail to deliver their promises. Organizations using gen AI want to understand the impact of such solutions clearly. Can you blame them? So, let’s define a strategic decision-making framework that broadly answers these business questions in an operational setting that balances the benefits of business value and AI integration.

An analytical framework for operations measurement 2S/2E: Think of it as four pillars used together to tell a complete story of your gen AI-enabled operation's health: Each pillar reveals a different facet of your performance, and I'll show you exactly how to measure them. These pillars offer valuable insights to measure your operations. What makes this framework powerful is its systematic approach and adaptability.

OpenAPI Summit: Building APIs for the AI Era: Why OpenAPI is Non-Negotiable

Thursday September 4, 2025 1:00pm - 1:25pm PDT

API World -- Workshop Stage B (PRO)

Shireen Nagdive, Salesforce, Senior Software Engineer

AI agents are transforming how we interact with APIs, but most APIs aren’t built with AI in mind. Without a clear, machine-readable contract, AI agents struggle to discover, understand, and interact with APIs effectively. OpenAPI Specification (OAS) changes the game by enabling automation, adaptability, and seamless integration. This talk breaks down why OpenAPI is critical for the AI era and shows an AI agent in action, consuming an OpenAPI-defined API in real time. After attending this session, attendees will get a clear understanding of why OpenAPI is essential in the AI-driven API world and see an AI agent in action.

Key Takeaways:
1) Why OpenAPI Matters for AI Agents – Understand how OpenAPI enables AI agents to dynamically discover and consume APIs.

2) Demo: AI + OpenAPI in Action – Watch an AI agent interact with an OpenAPI-defined API in real time.

PRO Session (API): "Network Observability" Overlooked, Underappreciated, more important than ever

Thursday September 4, 2025 1:30pm - 1:55pm PDT

API World -- Workshop Stage A (PRO)

Leon Adato, Catchpoint, Developer Relations Advocate

Remember the network? Long before "infrastructure as code", container orchestration, cluster management, or death by 1,000 clicks in some labyrinthine cloud configuration console, the network was an essential layer (or 3) of IT operations.

This may cause some to call for their fainting couch, but I never the less must inform you that the network never went away, became irrelevant, or was simplified to the point where it didn't matter.

The network - good old route and switch, packets and bits (and more importantly flow) networking - is alive and kicking and more important than ever to those of us who care about the performance and availability of our applications.

More to the point, not only is the network the metaphorical plumbing through which all your precious non-metaphorical observability and monitoring data flows; it holds secrets you'll never find in the traces, events, metrics, and logs of typical application observability solutions.

In this talk I'll reveal the observability secrets hiding in plain sight within your network; suggest ways to access that information; and highlight the insights and value you're missing if that data remains invisible, unused, or ignored.

Thursday September 4, 2025 1:30pm - 1:55pm PDT

CloudX -- Main Stage

Venkat Maddali, Medallia, Global Head - SRE

Data is growing at an unprecedented pace. Every transaction generates data, and with AI, this growth is accelerating. AI-driven automation introduces additional transactions, creating more data. As humans become more inquisitive about AI's operations, we add even more data through observability, logs, controls, and guardrails. Everything we do contributes to this data explosion.

This growth welcomes a new problem: The Challenge of AI and Data Ownership

The Challenge of AI and Data Ownership

Traditional solutions rely on commodity storage to handle data growth. However, AI is forcing industries to rethink data ownership. Many customers want to leverage AI but do not want to send their data to a hosted cloud, whether public, private, or hybrid. The question is: how do we enable AI while keeping data within a customer's control?

AI Data Center in a Box

The answer lies in AI-powered data centers in a box. This is not just a rack of servers but a compact, turnkey solution designed for edge computing. The key components of this AI-driven edge solution include:

Modular design to balance power, compute, networking, and security
Pluggable LLMs (Large Language Models) for customized AI processing
Integrated storage to handle large datasets efficiently
On-demand AI processing to enable offline and secure computations
Kill switch for ultimate control and security

Thursday September 4, 2025 2:00pm - 2:25pm PDT

Casey Morton, Pinnacle Solutions Group, Principal Consultant

In the early days of my career, a mentor once said to me "Everything is a product". He went on to say, "Its less about selling your software and more about creating well-defined (and documented), composable modules or Lego bricks..." This is a lesson that I keep close to my heart over 20 years later. In this session, we'll talk about how this mantra can apply to nearly everyone in IT and then we'll look at it, specifically as it applies to DevOps. What does it mean to "productize" something? Why does it matter? Why should I design for reuse even if I probably never will?We will talk through a couple of examples to better illustrate how to apply this to your daily work. Maybe its your CI/CD pipeline. Maybe its Terraform or Bicep scripts. Maybe its Helm Charts. Let's take a look at these very different scenarios and see how Productized DevOps can make your life easier and help make you more successful.

OpenAPI Summit: AI‑Powered APIs and API‑Enabled AI: A Symbiotic Evolution Driving Mutual Innovation

Thursday September 4, 2025 2:30pm - 2:55pm PDT

API World -- Workshop Stage B (PRO)

Neelesh Pateriya, Cisco, Principal Engineer

APIs and AI are no longer separate domains—they’re co‑evolving in a symbiotic relationship that accelerates innovation on both sides. This session uncovers how AI enhances API design, documentation, and developer workflows, while APIs extend AI’s reach into real‑world data, actions, and operational systems.

AI‑Powered APIs:
Developers face rising complexity in discovering, understanding, and implementing APIs. AI can transform this experience by powering intent‑based search and summarization in API documentation, suggesting improvements to OpenAPI schemas (from descriptions and examples to issue detection and guideline‑compliant fixes), and generating production‑ready integration code via natural language prompts in environments like VSCode Copilot.

API‑Enabled AI:
AI systems often struggle to access live, domain‑specific data or act autonomously beyond static model outputs. By exposing data and services through APIs—standardized and secured via protocols like MCP—AI can tap into real‑time sources, enrich its context, and execute complex, multi‑step workflows. MCP‑powered platforms (e.g., Cursor, VSCode Copilot) are already demonstrating how AI agents can both recommend and perform tasks seamlessly.

Thursday September 4, 2025 2:30pm - 2:55pm PDT

API World -- Workshop Stage A (PRO)

Amey Desai, Nexla, Head of Artificial Intelligence

At Nexla, we recently implemented native support for Model Context Protocol (MCP) as part of our agentic AI framework. This included exposing Data Products as an MCP Server, orchestration across MCP servers and LLMs, and mixing MCP with non-MCP (re)sources and tools. While Nexla is used to build agentic systems, it’s been used a lot longer as an iPaaS to create, integrate, and proxy APIs – and for data integration.

Join us as we walk through our lessons learned and biggest challenges in using AI-First MCP, and mixing it with a non-MCP, API-First world. Topics include:
Current strengths and weaknesses of MCP vs other standards
Nexla’s MCP server architecture, and how it supports different APIs and other sources
AI-driven orchestration of MCP and non-MCP sources
How to manage security with MCP, one of the biggest challenges with MCP today

We'll share practical examples of this architecture in action, covering implementation patterns, agent coordination strategies, and a leave behind or follow along developer kit for the developers in the audience.

PRO Session (API): Scalable Region Failover for Microservices: Platform-Level Resilience at Intuit

Friday September 5, 2025 1:30pm - 1:55pm PDT

API World -- Workshop Stage A (PRO)

Chaitanya Bhatt, Intuit, Principal Engineer
Akshay Pratinav, Intuit, Staff Software Engineer

In today’s distributed architecture, where APIs are the backbone of product experiences, regional outages can break critical customer flows and severely impact business continuity. At Intuit, we’ve built a Kubernetes-native platform that delivers seamless, scalable region failover for hundreds of microservices—enabling consistent API resiliency across the board.

This talk explores how our platform empowers services to declaratively onboard and define key components for failover—compute, databases, and routing. During a failover, the platform automatically pre-scales infrastructure in the secondary region based on live traffic data, promotes standby databases (Amazon Aurora, Redis, and others), and orchestrates traffic redirection via AWS Route 53 or Istio DNS controls. This eliminates manual guesswork, reduces recovery time, and helps ensure that API endpoints remain responsive and stable—even in disaster scenarios.

We’ll also compare the risks of non-standard, ad hoc failover strategies—which often result in brittle systems, untested assumptions, and high operational overhead—with the advantages of a standardized, platform-level approach. Our framework simplifies validation, reduces testing complexity, and enables teams to run game days and chaos experiments with greater confidence and less stress.

Attendees will walk away with practical techniques and patterns for building resilient APIs in a microservices-first world, and learn how investing in a failover platform creates a stronger foundation for disaster preparedness, operational excellence, and a better end-user experience.
