As API adoption becomes increasingly pivotal for companies, understanding the evolution from cURL commands to robust Software Development Kits (SDKs) is paramount. Your initial developer experience may focus on API reference docs with cURL commands, but as you scale, you'll need to help developers beyond “Hello World.” Discover the pivotal role SDKs play in propelling developers towards production-ready solutions.
However, building and maintaining an effective SDK program can be resource-intensive. This talk will address this challenge by demonstrating the key – SDK generation. Learn how your OpenAPI definition can serve as a source of truth, enabling the automated generation of SDK libraries in multiple languages, comprehensive documentation, and illustrative code samples. Join us as we explore the transformative potential of SDK generation as the linchpin in crossing the API Adoption Chasm.
As the VP of Developer Relation at APIMatic, Sid Maestre works with companies to automate how they build developer experiences and drive adoption of their APIs through SDKs, interactive documentation, guides and code samples. Sid is building a community of practice for SDKs builders... Read More →

API governance is crucial for enterprise success. By integrating policy guidance as developer signals within their Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) tools and processes, enterprises achieve higher policy compliance at substantially lower recovery costs. This approach enhances the developer experience and offers management a transparent overview of their API portfolios, facilitating ongoing improvements in API production. The API Health Dashboard, an exemplary governance application for internal portals, provides upper management with a clear perspective on the performance of their APIs.
In the game of API development, the world is getting more and more complex. How do you power up your dev team to complete each level faster and better? In this session, we’ll share the top five “cheat codes” that will put you in the winner’s circle. From design through testing, we’ll share how to give developers ultimate control over the development process, automate spec gen, and remove unnecessary infrastructure obstacles from impeding the advancement of your API strategy.

Matthew Bae, Deloitte, Specialist Lead in API & Integration Offering
Modern integration techniques, typically implemented through APIs and Microservices, play a pivotal role in propelling digital transformation initiatives. These deployments often occur in highly distributed environments, where a large number of small APIs and Microservices are simultaneously developed by different teams.
This simultaneous development can present challenges such as coordination among teams and delays due to waiting for other teams' completion. Overcoming these challenges requires distributed development techniques like design-first approaches and test-driven methodologies. In these methods, interface specifications written in a common structured language serve as the "contract" to manage interface agreements between applications. These interface contracts, which are machine-readable, and version controlled, facilitate trust among teams and allow parallel development and testing of applications in an early stage of the application development lifecycle. The contracts also aid in dependency management, planning for integrated testing, and releases of all related APIs and Microservices.
This session discusses a GenAI-assisted solution to standardize the development of API specifications, and automate the publishing of versioned, traceable API documentation in an API catalog portal. This pro

Augusto Goncalves, Autodesk, Developer Advocate Manager
Well-designed and well-maintained APIs are the foundation of any successful API ecosystem program. In this session, we'll explore best practices for architecting APIs across various formats – REST & GraphQL – to deliver performant and developer-friendly services. Drawing from the experience of building a world-class developer program that supports thousands of active third-party developers, we'll delve into the architectural considerations and strategies for creating a cohesive platform that provides a seamless experience across all APIs.
Dugald Morrow, Atlassian, Developer Advocacy and Extensibility Standards
API technologists are becoming increasingly aware of the benefits of an API first approach to software development, but there are many challenges related to the establishment of an API First culture throughout an organisation.
In this session, learn about the tactics used by Atlassian’s Extensibility Standards team to uplevel Atlassian’s API culture. The session covers the challenges faced by Atlassian, how API First overcomes these challenges and how API First fits within Atlassian’s API lifecycle management practices.
