The Architectural Shift: In my recent projects involving Ruby and Go, I’ve started thinking: instead of building an API for a frontend, should we be building APIs specifically for AI Agents? This means: Stricter OpenAPI specs: If the AI doesn't understand your schema, the system fails. Resilience is key: A Go-Gateway with aggressive rate-limiting is more important than ever when an AI agent can trigger 1,000 requests in a loop by mistake. State Management: How do we track state when the execution path is no longer hardcoded? The Question for the Community: Are you already designing "Agent-friendly" APIs?…
