Internal APIs are ubiquitous in modern software development. However, the handover between the team building the API and the team that’s meant to consume it tends to break down - resulting in late feedback and considerable delays in shipping features and products.
In this workshop, we'll use WireMock Cloud's API prototyping feature, which allows developers to collaborate and iterate better from the initial design discussions through integration testing. We refer to this approach as mock-first API prototyping.
Uri is the Co-Founder and CEO of WireMock Cloud. Built on WireMock, the #1 open-source API mocking framework, WireMock Cloud is an API platform that enhances developer productivity by breaking dependencies on the 3rd party APIs, internal APIs and micro-services that delay their deliveries.Tens...

This presentation will include practical tips for crafting APIs that data scientists and machine learning engineers will love, along with code examples using Python and the FastAPI framework.
Data scientists are not like your average software developer. They want to use your APIs, but they have some unique quirks. To make them happy, you need to understand their needs: - Who are data scientists? - What tasks do they perform with your APIs? - What tools do they use? - What features are important to them?

In this session, we'll dive into the world of secrets and configurations in a multi-cloud environment. Get answers to your questions like: What are secrets, and why are they so important for security? How do we use them effectively in our software environments?
We'll also discuss the critical role of configuration in the installation and integrating an oss tool. You'll also learn best practices for managing secrets and how templates for different configurations can accelerate adoption by streamlining setup.

In an era where digital transformations drive business value, the importance of developing consistent, scalable, and robust APIs cannot be overstated. As teams expand and projects multiply, maintaining a unified API design can pose significant challenges. This presentation delves into the powerful combination of linting and reusable models as tools to navigate these challenges and ensure consistency across large-scale API designs.
We will explore API linting using the open-source Spectral project to enable teams to identify and rectify inconsistencies during design. In tandem we will navigate the need for reusable models, recognizing that the best specification is the one you don't have to write or lint at all! These two approaches not only facilitate the smooth integration of services but also foster collaboration across teams by providing a shared, consistent foundation.
