This week on the API Intersection podcast, we spoke with Wesley Beary–Architect of Engineering Practices and Culture, previously at Salesforce Technology. We originally reached out to Wesley after writing about the history of API Style Guides, as he played a key role in publishing one of the first open-sourced API standards. However, that was many years ago, and Wesley has continued to grow into a broader role at Salesforce after Heroku was acquired.

Focused on people, innovation, and learning, Wesley has been a part of Salesforce for over a decade now (including his time at Heroku). Using his technical background and focusing on API governance evidently led him to the organizational side of things. With hundreds of architects and thousands of developers, things can get muddled quickly without proper process, education and communication. And that's where Wesley comes in.

We’ve yet to have an episode where the lines of API governance blur with greater company standardization and company-wide process, it was definitely a unique insight into a very large scale way of doing things.
