Keynote : AI for Fun or API for Run?

AI is not entirely newborn but last years came with a boom in AI as regards to the public and to th top management at commercial enterprises. You could (and you can) make « AI for fun » (used to be called « POC »), but whenever an AI project is to enter into « real life », there’s obviously a gap to compensate. Questions are: what does it look like?, and foremost: what shall I do to put the fun at work, meaning industrial, robustly and legally (rentability should be naturally implied, isn’t it?).

Putting the 'Engineering' into Prompt Engineering

As a prompt engineer people always tell me it isn't real engineering, or that it's going away in five years, or even that it's already dead. In practice the top model companies and frameworks invest heavily and promote prompt engineering techniques, and new papers are released every weeks showing gains from prompting. There is a big difference however between what Twitter gurus or the average ChatGPT user is doing, and what a prompt engineer actually does day to day to earn the engineering title. To call it engineering you have to be testing how LLMs work at scale, and I'll walk through several practical examples of how to do that, as covered in my book on prompt engineering for O'Reilly and my work on client projects and my own products.

Walk the OpenAPI Talk, Moonwalk the Developer Experience!

Swagger and OpenAPI revolutionized the API landscape and created a thriving ecosystem of developer tools, from IDEs to contract testing and no-code solutions. In our projects (WireMock, Jenkins, Testcontainers and WireMock Cloud) we adopted OpenAPI to provide a great developer experience including automated generation of plugins, pipeline integrations, and the creation of Mock APIs directly from OpenAPI definitions. Not everything went well. OpenAPI excels at documentation but not so much for machine processing. We had to craft our own tooling, apply some AI magic to reverse engineer specifications and build behavioral models. Most of it could have been prevented if OpenAPI v3 was more flexible and extensible.

In this talk we will discuss using OpenAPI for service modeling, also known as ""mocking"" and its impact on developer experience. Then, we will discuss the current limitations of OpenAPI 3 and offer a glimpse into the anticipated enhancements in OpenAPI v4 "Moonwalk," which we anticipate will be released in the near future. Finally, we will explore the potential synergies between OpenAPI and Async API, offering developers a promising outlook on future developments in the API landscape.

Using xRegistry To Centralize Entity Schemas for Integration Products

Each microservice owns entities such as an insurance policy, cargo or fruit. They are exposed through synchronous interfaces such as REST APIs and asynchronous interfaces such as messages in service buses and events in event brokers. When describing these interfaces using OpenAPI and AsyncAPI, you find yourself repeating one thing: the schema of entities owned by the microservice.

This talk shows how HDI Global SE uses xRegistry as an unopinionated schema registry to store these entity schemas in a central place. Decoupled from the integration product and the interface descriptions these schemas can be referenced by OpenAPI and AsyncAPI documents and have developer portals with catalogues built around them.

Thinking about thinking: Metacognitive Capabilities of LLMs

Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) is a go-to solution for aligning large language models (LLMs) with human preferences; it passes through learning a reward model that subsequently optimizes the LLM's policy. However, an inherent limitation of current reward models is their inability to fully represent the richness of human preferences and their dependency on the sampling distribution. In the first part we turn to an alternative pipeline for the fine-tuning of LLMs using pairwise human feedback. Our approach entails the initial learning of a preference model, which is conditioned on two inputs given a prompt, followed by the pursuit of a policy that consistently generates responses preferred over those generated by any competing policy, thus defining the Nash equilibrium of this preference model. We term this approach Nash learning from human feedback (NLHF) and give a new algorithmic solution, Nash-MD, founded on the principles of mirror descent. NLHF is compelling for preference learning and policy optimization with the potential of advancing the field of aligning LLMs with human preferences. In the second part of the talk we delve into a deeper theoretical understanding of fine-tuning approaches as RLHF with PPO and offline fine-tuning with DPO (direct preference optimization) based on the Bradley-Terry model and come up with a new class of LLM alignment algorithms with better both practical and theoretical properties. We finish with the newest work showing links between and building on top of them.

Hands-on Apache APISIX

It has been said that data are the new oil. To connect oil pipelines between heterogeneous systems, the de facto standard is HTTP APIs, whether plain, RESTful or REST. But no company just expose their information system to the outside. You need a central unified entry-point to handle cross-cutting concerns: classic ones like authentication and IP blacklisting, but also API-related ones like rate limiting and canary release.

In this workshop, we will use Apache APISIX on Docker to show a couple of nifty features that can help your information system cope with the challenges introduced by APIs.

- Routing your calls to the correct upstream
- Available abstractions: Route, Upstream, Service
- Configuring APISIX with the command-line

AI Evaluation as a Tool for Regulatory Compliance

AI-specific regulations are gaining momentum globally. In order to justify safety and control of AI systems, regulatory provisions increasingly ask for testing and evaluation of AI systems. Among the latter, general purpose AI models are one of the main targets. How do we measure the degree of compliance of an AI system and convey results in an intelligible way to authorities? Evaluation stems as a tool enabling understanding of AI and informed deployment based on regulations. However, it does not come without challenges.

Embeddings : Core Concepts for Developers

A dense but accessible talk about the core concepts of embeddings.

If you had a collection of every kind of animal on earth, from mules to narwhals to goldfish, how would we pick out just the animals that are housepets? And how does AI distinguish between a pack mule and a Moscow Mule?

Embeddings are numerical representations that capture the essential features and relationships of discrete objects, like words or images, in a continuous vector space, enabling tasks such as semantic search, clustering, and recommendations.

This talk introduces specialized terms and breaks them down into simple, everyday examples to help learners relate difficult concepts to familiar things. Then, it gradually builds back up to the specialized terms. This back-and-forth approach deepens understanding. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of how embeddings work, their benefits, and why they are leveraged in machine learning tasks.

Second, many networks, such as those operated by Internet Service Providers (ISP), are intentionally over-provisioned. Combine the two: most energy is spent on turning on barely-used hardware!

In this talk, I will give real-life examples of this problem and present practical ideas to reduce the Internet’s energy footprint today.

Simplifying API Management for a No-Sweat Developer Experience

"APIs are the backbone of digital communication, and effective API management is crucial not only for seamless integration but also for fostering a positive developer experience.
However, building and operating APIs is inherently challenging, as developers face high demands for performance, design, security, and governance, making it difficult to maintain a balance between functionality and reliability.

From designing an API to serving it to consumers, a lot of work goes into configuring numerous parameters across the entire stack—from the application layer to the service mesh, gateway, and edge. Development teams also need to streamline and standardize these processes to stay agile and respond effectively to changing customer demands.

In this session, we will discuss the strategies that successfully worked at Maersk to address API lifecycle management challenges. Attendees will gain insights into best practices for streamlining API design, automating critical processes, and enhancing the developer experience."

Fostering API Productization in Federated API Architecture

The concept of productizing APIs via federated API gateways centres around the idea of decentralizing policy enforcement and management duties by distributing them among multiple gateways, thereby effectively treating APIs as standalone products. This innovative approach brings several advantages, including enhanced scalability, as it allows systems to handle an increased load by distributing requests across several nodes; and improved resilience, owing to the distributed nature which ensures that the failure of one node does not compromise the entire system.

Creating APIs That Data Scientists Will Love

"Data Scientists and machine learning engineers are important users for APIs. With the growth of generative AI, they are getting more important all the time. They have unique needs that API providers should understand and design for. Ryan’s upcoming O’Reilly book “Hands-on APIs for AI and Data Science” is a deep dive into this audience.


Ryan will share practical tips for making APIs that data scientists will love. He will explain the tasks that data scientists perform and the tools they use with a focus on the Python ecosystem. This includes tools such as Jupyter notebooks, Airflow, FastAPI, and Streamlit.
Ryan will demonstrate how to implement data scientist-friendly APIs with a hands-on example that uses Python frameworks FastAPI for the API control, SQLAlchemy for data access, and Pydantic for data validation."

Bridge the Gap Between LLMs and Legacy Apps (such as SAP)

CXOs at enterprises are funding LLM / GenAI experiments. Why do even the successful experiments rarely reach production and bring business value? Even with good APIs, integrating them to reach legacy systems (such as SAP or Mainframes) turns out to be a very high barrier!

We will show a practical demo and reference architecture using an API First approach and a low-code iPaaS to easily connect SAP to modern AI systems. Come and learn how to do this yourself!

Governance of Event-Driven Distributed Systems

The software revolution has climbed several steps toward the goal of optimizing the important pillars of communications and each revolution directs us toward a challenge that covers several issues, event-driven systems provide the answer to several problems encountered in a distributed design but it remains by nature a distributed system with the same challenge to solve.

One of the major problems of distributed systems is governance at the communication edge, we will demystify the main elements of distributed system governance and see how the consumption and revolution of event-driven systems should be simplified.
