Connecting SAP Commerce and AEM: Experimenting with OpenAPI-Based APIs Adobe keeps releasing new OpenAPI-based APIs, and I got curious: could I use them to connect SAP Commerce and AEM? This post is a proof-of-concept and a look at what I discovered.

It was nice to see Juan Ayala's article on using our Open APIs to build an integration with SAP Commerce: www.theaemmaven.com/post/connect.... Seeing feedback from those who are out in the field using these tools for their implementations is so valuable to us.

OpenAPI Is Not Enough There are things you simply can't do with OpenAPI.

"I used to think OpenAPI was the best way to define REST APIs. And I bet you think that way, too. After all, OpenAPI has so many benefits that it's easy to ignore its drawbacksβ€”until you feel them, that is."

An exciting week here for the AEM Assets API team. We're releasing another stable API today that will allow you to import assets from a URL into your DAM. This will be a big win for a lot of our customers! You can find the API spec at developer.adobe.com/experience-c...

OpenAPI: How to Handle File Management As more organizations adopt OpenAPI, it's good to get up to speed on managing the files you create and consume.

Great article by @lornajane.net on using $refs for OpenAPI specs. We take this a step farther for AEM APIs. Many of the $refs that we reuse across our teams get stored in a git repository that teams can include as a submodule, making our APIs more consistent. thenewstack.io/openapi-how-....

APIs connect systems.
Bluesky connects people.

We're here for both. πŸ‘‹

Enforcing API consistency with a large team Keeping APls consistent in large organizations to speed up integrations, improve code-reuse, and avoid wasting time and money.

@philsturgeon.com and @alexanderkaran.bsky.social put out an article today on enforcing API consistency with a large team at apisyouwonthate.com/p/75e05d1e-e.... These practices align with what we do in the AEM team for keeping our APIs consistent. What practices would you add to the list?

In apisyouwonthate.com/blog/openapi..., @philsturgeon.com has some nice things to say about Redocly CLI. We've had good luck with it as a bundler and decorator for our APIs. We've recently started adding Spectral for linting, and I find it to be more robust and extensible than Redocly OOTB.

Zuck’s announcement today just underscores the importance of platforms like Bluesky. I’m a little concerned that we may be moving into a more fragmented world in social media, though, further cementing the echo chambers that are already there.

Lots of folks talking about donating to Wikipedia. If you’d like to make a bigger impact, sign up to make a recurring monthly donation! That way, when everyone has forgotten about Elon and donations aren’t flooding in, you can still help.

OpenAI and others seek new path to smarter AI as current methods hit limitations Artificial intelligence companies like OpenAI are seeking to overcome unexpected delays and challenges in the pursuit of ever-bigger large language models by developing training techniques that use more human-like ways for algorithms to "think".
