[Virtual] PRO WORKSHOP (API): Crafting Consistent APIs at Scale: Embracing Linting & Reusable Models

Wednesday November 13, 2024 9:30am - 10:20am PST

VIRTUAL API World -- OPEN Workshop Stage

Travis Gosselin, SPS Commerce, Distinguished Software Engineer

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.
