Transcript

  1. API Design Lifecycle Collaborating to Build Great APIs

  2. – Leslie Lamport “I believe that the best way to

    get better programs is to teach programmers how to think better.”

  3. Architecture is related to a set of (self- imposed) constraints

    that produce a set of favorable properties of a system

  4. Design First • Include variety of stakeholders • Top-down vs.

    bottom-up • Develop good designs early • Re-usable description format as contract • Write less code

  5. The best design of an API is not a particular

    paradigm or architecture – it is a design where everybody at the table agreed on what the API is/will be.

  6. Prototyping • Collaborative • Realtime mocking • Code Generation

  7. Implementation • Parallel Client/Server Development • TDD/BDD/CI Integration

  8. Documentation • Auto-generated • Interactive • Validated in CI

  9. Monitoring • Post-deployment Smoke Testing • Debugging • Inspection
