Conversation with David Biesack of Apiture October 2025

A very compelling conversation with David Biesack about JSON Schema, and a deep dive into how they are using it for managing OpenAPI, but also their change log and pipelines, offering a compelling look at the roll that JSON Schema should and can play when it comes APIs, but also specifically schema.

A great discussion of the spectrum of uses by Apiture of JSON Schema to validate and stabilize operations.
