Of course.
In this talk, I’ll show you how OpenAPI can make your life easier in a serverless world:
- Creating the contract with your consumers is the first thing you do
- You can automatically create your API from this OpenAPI definitions (e.g. skip the whole configuration of your API Gateway on AWS by using OpenAPI)
- You’ll have a beautiful visual overview of your API
- Generate your class definitions based on this OpenAPI definitions
- Validate incoming and outgoing requests with the OpenAPI definition
