Something I’ve been toying with for a while is a community led cloud platform. The idea of an AWS alternative that’s built, managed and maintained by developers. Why would you even do such a thing? Cloud platforms have become pretty pivotal to how we operate businesses day to day, but…

Platform APIs are a set of building blocks for platform teams to deliver self-service infrastructure to engineers within their orgs. They are a way of delivering the required dependencies for applications without the need for direct interaction with cloud infrastructure, using APIs, SDKs, CLI and Web UI. As platform engineers…

Something I’ve been trying to understand for a long time is how to be a digital nomad. Ok not really. But I thought the dream at least represents something real. Being a digital nomad is more about ownership of your time than anything else. It’s about freedom. The freedom to…

We’re all in search of a community, whether we realise it or not. A place to belong. Community starts as our family, friends, relatives and neighbours. This is not something we chose, we were born into it. …

Micro is an API first development platform. It’s a single solution for building API first products from source to running and beyond. Micro abstracts away the complexity of cloud infrastructure and provides simpler building blocks to build on. …

Micro Web was a dashboard built for querying Micro services in a browser. In v3 we largely sidelined it to focus on a headless server driven by a CLI and consumed via APIs. Today though we’re bringing it back in an all new way. …

Over the years I’ve become pretty frustrated by the state of tech and engineering in general. One of the biggest issues we face in the industry is the lack of reusability in software. GitHub made a major revolutionary change for developers, enabling all of us to reuse libraries, and code…

by Patrick Ford Introduction Many people think that building apps takes years of schooling, lots of technical know-how, and massive amounts of time and money. But in today’s age of web development, that’s simply not true. Through platforms like M3O, developers and non-technical builders alike can easily bootstrap the functionality they…

M3O is a serverless micro services gateway that provides one way to explore, discover and consume public APIs as simpler programmable building blocks. What that means is you can leverage 2–3 APIs together to build out an MVP. The best way to showcase this is with a real demo. …
