Designing a Composable API Platform Powered by Open Standards
summary
Claims a working composable API platform built from OpenAPI specs, Kubernetes CRDs and an operator that auto‑imports APIs into a gateway, applies Open Policy Agent rules, and wires Keycloak for OIDC tokens, with observability pushed via OpenTelemetry to Grafana/Tempo or Jaeger and metrics to Prometheus. Demo deploys with Argo CD and Helm, generates traffic with k6, and shows deployments in minutes and saved over $100,000 for some customers; cites 71% of web traffic and 1.5 billion API calls to justify scale. The demo runs end‑to‑end and proves the automation works.
