API Management vs API Gateways - what's the difference? API Gateways are the traffic controllers of your API ecosystem. They direct the flow between clients and backend services, acting as a single entry point for all API calls.

Has the lack of quality API tooling for Ruby ever thrown you into a Rage? Sure, Ruby on Rails has an API-only mode, but this is missing many features that modern API frameworks have, like OpenAPI generation. Additionally, it's simply not a performant framework compared to other scripting languages.

OpenAI just released Codex, a terminal-based coding assistant that uses their new o4-mini model. So we asked Codex to write an OpenAPI document, lint it using Rate My OpenAPI, analyze and implement the feedback, and give us a final version. How well did that go? zuplo.link/codex-openapi

AsyncAPI is quickly emerging as the defacto standard for describing all non-REST APIs. If you're already familiar with OpenAPI, below is a quick overview of AsyncAPI and analogous properties. Fundamentally AsyncAPI is channel-first - it defines how data flows via topics, events, or message brokers.
