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.

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.

Did you know that data privacy is a compliance requirement mandated by almost every country? It differs from data security, with a greater focus on protecting personal information. API privacy plays a crucial role in this, as it extends beyond securing databases and cloud data. In this session, I’ll introduce the API Privacy Top-10 List and demonstrate how AI can automate API privacy testing, freeing developers from tedious tasks while ensuring your applications and APIs remain compliant with privacy regulations.

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

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.

Ensuring frictionless integration for developers is key to ensuring that your APIs are used to their fullest potential. By offering reference implementations and a Quickstart wizard in eight programming languages, we highlight the main use cases for our APIs, enabling developers to use our tools efficiently. This talk will discuss how providing ready-made code enables developers to start using your APIs as quickly as possible.
Raileen has been a Programmer Writer with Docusign for two years. As a member of the Developer Content team, she is passionate about developer enablement, developing code and writing guides to assist developers in the enablement of Docusign APIs to meet their needs.
Great API documentation is essential when developing a product but it can often be an afterthought during a project. While a technical writer can solve this problem, not every development team or project is assigned one. To create a sublime user experience, you must contemplate how to build a good doc set that’s complete, consistent, and easy to use. In this session, we’ll explore multiple best practices and recommendations that developers can employ to improve their technical documentation.
This session describes:
- Developing personas for your audience - How to create an engaging style and consistent tone for your documentation - How to write documentation for your APIs - Incorporating AI into your documentation process - Drafting some of the “must-have” docs - Creating a feedback loop and maintenance plan for your docs

Within API-First development, a dichotomy has formed: Code-First or Design-First. Are these approaches destined to be adopted in polarized isolation, or rather, are they equally valid phases of a healthy API development cycle? This presentation will reveal a new way to visualize the cyclical nature of Code-First and Design-First API development, discuss parallels to Test-Driven development, and explore the benefits unlocked from leveraging both methodologies in tandem.

Agentic AI is the next frontier. Whilst current chat-bot + RAG use cases were the first wave, they are ultimately limited in how much they can transform work and deliver on the productivity growth that we have all been promised. Agentic AIs can autonomously pursue complex goals and workflows with limited direct human supervision, making it possible to automate large amounts of knowledge work.
However, whilst the systems of today, namely GPU-based systems, were well suited to chatbots and knowledge retrieval use cases, they are not equipped to handle this new wave of Agentic AI. From ultra-fast token generation, running lots of models of each node and instant model switching, we walk through why this matters, and how fast inference speeds through SambaNova unlock this capability.
