In today’s rapidly changing business environment, enterprise architecture frameworks must evolve to maintain relevance. The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) is a widely used methodology that provides a strong foundation for designing and implementing enterprise architecture. However, the modern demands of agility, scalability, and rapid innovation necessitate the integration…
In the evolving world of software, API management is key, traditionally seen as complex and critical for security and efficiency. Yet, the concept of "The Great Unbundling," suggested by Erik Wilde, proposes a shift towards simpler, scalable API components. This change intertwines with Team Topologies' principles, advocating…
Exploring Team Topologies' impact on modern enterprises, this series highlights its role in enhancing team interactions and driving digital transformation, focusing on API Federation. We examine interaction modes—collaboration, X-as-a-Service, and facilitating—essential for efficient API management across organisations, ensuring scalability, reliability, and agility. These modes facilitate optimal team…
