Since launching SwaggerHub in 2015, we’ve received a ton of great feedback from users about how we can improve the platform to help teams collaborate on and coordinate more effectively across the workflow of the API cycle.
To kick off 2016, we are excited to announce a few significant upgrades to SwaggerHub:
Our most requested feature, Private APIs, is now publicly available.
With Private APIs, you can now create API definitions, collaborate, and share your designs privately within SwaggerHub. You have full control over the release of API definitions to the public on a per-version basis.

With or Without Net Neutrality, Business Can Deliver Fast Internet | @CloudExpo #Cloud
The Net Neutrality fight has been all over the news this year with the latest installment on Net Neutrality coming in from T-Mobile. Private and public companies alike are tuned into to this continual saga to see how the eventual outcome will affect business and ultimately their online lives. But whether the FCC’s recent ruling on Net Neutrality stands the test of time or not, there is a new technology that will provide customers fast, reliable Internet services at much lower costs than private business lines.
Bootlegging, Piracy and Document Management Have Things in Common By @IanKhanLive | @CloudExpo #Cloud
No seriously, I mean it. There are serious correlations and similarities between smuggling alcohol and piracy in any form, whether it’s the real life bad guys on ghost ships in the seas or digital pirates who download stuff off the internet thinking it’s all free stuff while some artist starves to death, or for that matter an enterprise user; quite specifically a certain type of enterprise user. The ones that love free applications and start using them, well and not just use them but spread it to the entire department. You probably have a Bob or Sally or Travis in your department who sends you an innocent link to Dropbox or Google Drive with the Excel file that was too big to send through email. How about that file from accounting that is conveniently shared on Google drive that can be accessed by everyone, including the CFO from his home? Convenient right? Well yes, convenient but also an early preparation to being sued by your customers or probably tens of other people as well. I am really not trying to scare you off but I know this drum has been beaten too many times. Only 19% of organizations have adopted something that does not put their business at risk doing something almost illegal.
[slides] Managing Remote Operations Teams By @WebairSagi | @CloudExpo #Cloud
Advances in technology and ubiquitous connectivity have made the utilization of a dispersed workforce more common. Whether that remote team is located across the street or country, management styles/ approaches will have to be adjusted to accommodate this new dynamic.
In his session at 17th Cloud Expo, Sagi Brody, Chief Technology Officer at Webair Internet Development Inc., focused on the challenges of managing remote teams, providing real-world examples that demonstrate what works and what doesn’t. He covered proper training and integration of these teams into the corporate structure, and the most effective ways to introduce them to customers. He also discussed proper vetting of third-party teams should these functions be outsourced.
Why Application Modularization Matters: Testing By @MassHaste | @CloudExpo #Cloud
A few weeks ago my colleague PJ Hagerty wrote about driving your existing monolithic application toward a more modular design. This time around I’ll dive a little bit deeper into its importance and the benefits of application modularization.
One of the most important best practices in application development is testing, and more specifically automated and continuous testing. When your application is a monolith with multiple functionalities and responsibilities, automated testing becomes massively unwieldy. To illustrate this issue let’s use the following illustration of conceptual (and, admittedly trivial) photo gallery web application.
[session] Data as a Service By @LakshmiLJ | @CloudExpo #Cloud
Data-as-a-Service is the complete package for the transformation of raw data into meaningful data assets and the delivery of those data assets.
In her session at 18th Cloud Expo, Lakshmi Randall, an industry expert, analyst and strategist, will address:
What is DaaS (Data-as-a-Service)?
Challenges addressed by DaaS
Vendors that are enabling DaaS
Architecture options for DaaS
Hybrid Cloud Versus Hybrid IT: What’s the Hype? By @Kevin_Jackson | @CloudExpo #Cloud
Once again, the boardroom is in a bitter battle over what edict its members will now levy on their hapless IT organization. On one hand, hybrid cloud is all the rage. Adopting this option promises all the cost savings of public cloud with the security and comfort of private cloud. This environment would not only check the box for meeting the cloud computing mandate, but also position the organization as innovative and industry-leading. Why wouldn’t a forward-leaning management team go all in with cloud?
How Are Cloud-Based Solutions Benefiting Procurement Organizations? | @CloudExpo #Cloud
I sat down with Michael Rösch, COO of POOL4TOOL, to chat about cloud computing. With a lot of buzz about the impact of the cloud on business, it was a chance to get a perspective, as well as a few hints and tips, from someone who has been at the coalface of procurement cloud services for the past 15 years. Michael has been at POOL4TOOL since 2000, becoming COO in 2012, and has worked on projects with German giants like Behr, Hansgrohe, Heidelberger Printing Presses, Carl Zeiss and ThyssenKrupp Presta in that time.
[session] Offline-First Apps with PouchDB and Cloudant By @BradleyHolt | @CloudExpo #Cloud
It’s easy to assume that your app will run on a fast and reliable network. The reality for your app’s users, though, is often a slow, unreliable network with spotty coverage. What happens when the network doesn’t work, or when the device is in airplane mode? You get unhappy, frustrated users. An offline-first app is an app that works, without error, when there is no network connection.
How to Create a High Performing API: A New Perspective for 2016 | @CloudExpo #Cloud
Performance is the elusive butterfly of API development. Everybody is intrigued with its beauty, yet few know how to capture it.
In the old days, the approach of many shops to ensure a performant API was to create some code and then pass it over to the wall to QA to do load testing. Later some integration testing took place. As long as the API worked and it was met some marginal performance benchmarks, things were good.
This worked well when a public, HTTP based API, consumed by a wide variety of distributed devices was more the exception than the rule. However, today APIs are a big deal and they are everywhere, so much so that companies are posting very big infographics prominently in the front page of the New York Times to create even more awareness about the technology to the general public.
