Monetizing APIs Effectively
Monetization of APIs requires a thoughtful plan to ensure the cost of API access is aligned with customer value. This talk walks through usage-based billing models and how to apply them to create additional revenue streams. We'll also discuss some of the gotchas and requirements when charging for API access vs providing for free.

How AI is Shaping the Future
We are in a dizzying and contradictory moment. One minute, AI is achieving superhuman feats of logic with a gold in the Math Olympiad; the next, it is failing in spectacularly human-like ways, deleting production databases in a single act of misaligned agency. This is not noise; it is the signal of a paradigm shift, moving us from an era of passive software tools and predefined user experiences to one of active, autonomous agents with fluid interactions. This new reality is changing the very nature of computing and leading to more - not less - code.

Making Enterprises Quantum Safe
The race towards quantum computing is accelerating — and with it, the threat to today’s encryption is no longer theoretical. Algorithms like RSA and ECC, once considered unbreakable, are now vulnerable to future quantum attacks that could expose sensitive data harvested today. This isn’t a distant problem. It’s a silent risk already being exploited in “harvest now, decrypt later” strategies.

Isabelle began her career nearly three decades ago in France as a C developer at IBM, working on cutting-edge networking technologies. Her passion for problem-solving and technical evangelism quickly led her to roles that spanned the globe, where she supported customers in both presales and professional services roles. Since then, Isabelle has consistently been at the forefront of technological evolution, from the pioneering era of e-business through the shift toward cloud computing, microservices and Kubernetes. As the founder CTO of 42Crunch, Isabelle used her deep expertise into creating a platform that empowers developers to build secure APIS. At WSO2, she brings her experience to enhance the developer journey across the company's diverse portfolio.
