357: Why is REST connectivity still hard? (With Kumar Vikesh)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Dave Rubinstein, Editor in Chief of SD Times, discusses with Kumar Vikesh, Senior Product Owner at Progress Data Direct, the challenges of REST connectivity and the introduction of an AI-driven solution to automate the creation of model files for the Autonomous REST Connector. Progress Data Direct offers a standard connectivity platform with over 60 connectors and 100 data sources. The new AI-driven approach uses three agents: a generator, validator, and launcher, to create, validate, and test REST model files, reducing manual effort from days to hours. The solution is currently in an early access program, with plans for future general availability and integration with Visual Studio Code.
