POST Human: Exploring the World through API Design
Humans have a tendency to try to organize the world around us. RESTful APIs follow this trend -- everything is parent-child objects with CRUD operations and relationships between the objects. But the world is a lot less organized than we'd like to imagine. This talk explores the edges of API design and how easily seemingly simple concepts fall into chaos.
The BFFs and BAEs of API Development
Building APIs that support multiple user experiences in a complex domain often means using microservices — but while microservices are great for developing, they can be more challenging for your API users and for cross-platform integrations. This is how we use BFFs (Backend-For-Frontend) and BAEs (Backend-Async-Events) at Jetty to alleviate this problem
Managing Failure as a First-Time Manager
Your first time as a manager is not easy. You say some wrong things, make a few wrong decisions, and face lots of uncertainty. Being a great developer doesn't guarantee that you can help others be better developers.
This talk is about what I learned after going from a senior engineer in a team of three to managing a team of seven engineers. I will focus on the things you can do to prepare yourself if you are making the same transition, and the things a senior engineering leader can do to help someone in that transition.
