ASC 2022 - API Specifications Conference

API standards and schemas have helped to automate much of API design, implementation, and maintenance -- and not a moment too soon. As many tech companies experienced growth spurts in recent years, they encountered the challenges of having multiple teams launching new APIs. Consequently, they learned that their ways to create well-designed APIs wouldn't work so easily when multiple teams have to create them.

Beyond well-designed APIs, is the need for consistency across APIs, coordinated across teams. How can this be managed - ensuring consistency while allowing individual teams the autonomy to plan their APIs?

Thanks to new API tooling, growing companies can establish a scalable system for designing, implementing, and launching consistent APIs across multiple teams. We’ll share best practices and solutions from experiences among growing software companies in this phase to understand how to be effective working across Product, Infrastructure, and Engineering teams to do so.
