Adrian Machado from Zuplo came by for a talk on API rate limiting, but not just the technical bits. Zuplo is doing a good job at bridging the business and technical aspects of rate limiting at the API gateway layer, and we had a compelling discussion around how planning your rate limits will shape your overall API business plan. Adrian provided some compelling thoughts around the need for standardization of API rate limits and how we approach the API access plans and policies we are implementing in regions around the globe. After the gateway layer Adrian shared more about the Zuplo ethos of API documentation should be free with their Zudoku offering, something I can definitely get behind. Thanks for the great talk Adrian, come by antyime.

API Evangelist Conversation with Adrian Machado Staff Software Engineer at Zuplo

I am the API Evangelist.  Not in the sense that I’m evangelizing a single API to you--In the sense that APIs are important for everyone to be aware of.  I’m paying attention to not just the technical, but the business and politics of the web API movement.  I share my insights by blogging on the business of APIs at apievangelist.com, politics of APIs at apivoice.com and you can find more information about me at kinlane.com.
