"Conformance and Compliance can be Innovative"

In today’s data-driven enterprises, APIs and knowledge graphs are more than technical tools—they are strategic assets that drive innovation, compliance, and operational intelligence. As businesses navigate regulatory mandates like CFPB 1033, ensuring data accessibility, lineage, and governance has become a critical challenge.

This talk explores how API telemetry, knowledge graphs, and real-time monitoring enable organizations to integrate, structure, and govern financial and consumer data more effectively. We will examine how graph-based architectures inherently support compliance by mapping data relationships, tracking lineage, and ensuring structured access—key for financial services, digital ecosystems, and AI-driven decision intelligence.

Additionally, knowledge graphs play a crucial role in tracking API drift and detecting API anti-patterns, ensuring that APIs remain consistent, compliant, and scalable. By mapping relationships between evolving API versions, dependencies, and behavioral patterns.

Attendees will gain actionable insights into how API design-time governance, schema evolution, and runtime analytics help organizations meet compliance mandates, enhance data interoperability, and accelerate AI-driven transformations. By leveraging knowledge graphs alongside real-time API telemetry, enterprises can establish resilient, scalable, and future-ready digital ecosystems that drive both compliance and innovation.
